Visibility is also far from such as Maldives and Phuket so famous, know it is because it is United Kingdom BMW Magazine "the world's top 10 most beautiful island of". With a belly doubts, I started my journey disappeared--no phone no computer.

Patio Pacific Hotel.

From the beginning to the end: lasted for 13 hours.

On this day we sat all means of transport, it may be too long for the destination, along the way, we did not feel tired. Check into the hotel, our team has already can't wait to see the sea. Across from the hotel out of a lane, soon came Palm take place of the sea. At first impression is the sea here is not as domestic so wet salt, sea water is also very quiet, not too big waves. Other different is the tropical region's unique tropical plants, tall coconut trees and beautiful flowers and grasses. Step into the sea, had not imagined and cool, it's no wonder that there has been close to the equator, perennial 25 degrees. The beach of the sand is white, long stretches of constant to the distance. Sunset on the sea, and a handful of several boats afloat.

Dinner is on the beach, barbecue buffet, 360 Peso per person, you can eat fish, meat.

Beverage to separate money, we all point to the local very famous "Mango Shake". To have been heard before, that is very local characteristics of freshly squeezed juice, evil and good drinks. Because before eaten green mango, "Green Mango Shake" is my choice. Soon, a cup of grass green drinks is end up flavor as its color, cool slightly acid, Green Apple. Grilled chicken, grilled squid, grilled shrimps, grilled bacon ... Eat a belly full. There is also a seaside restaurant, live bands in the original feel listening to jazz by the sea for the occasion, but compared to eating BBQ listen to rock is also very good.

Accompanied by a hotel inside the noise of air conditioning and unknown fragrance gone to sleep.

12 April:

In the morning I heard a Doudou and bald bald in screaming little called asked everyone to get up, I wash all the people who are not in the room.

Out of the Sun is very harsh, but is not particularly hot. Continue down the path in the past, but was shocked to see the azure blue sea is not reserved to appear before my eyes. As in the picture, the clear blue sea water, in bright sunlight shining glance. Last night because it was already late and I didn't feel that long beach I. seaside real style, now I'll think came to tropical islands. Sunny cloudless blue sky + clear blue sea which stretches of beach white + + bright blooming flowers + big tall coconut trees, the beach at your ease in beach chairs, hammocks, parasols, let spectators mellow, all troubles are all about me, may Tao Yuan-ming's paradise is the mean. Lazy lying on the beach chairs, drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice, can think out what could be more easily.

Take advantage of the Sun is not direct, we play a Banana Boat.

Really, really like banana. By a steam boat in front of La, crazy at sea. Play other projects we know, this is the least dangerous. But it is easy to get high. But after high, realized the power of the Sun, coupled with the water immersion through skin, easier to get hurt, so advance smudge SPF30 high index----in fact, isn't available. Perhaps we long life in high-rise buildings, with the chance of getting close to nature and, of course, will not give up. Tom in the Sun in shallow water, grabbed a fish tasted sunburn, Km and Xu jinglei without any protection under played marine motor body swelling, as has just been cooked crab.

I did not want to buy "Chalon" (a local decoration, is actually a large scarf), but see several is sunburn, really don't want to take the risk.

Find a similar wudaokou market places, and began to choose from. The shopkeeper is a gentle woman, began selling 200 Peso, but was soon reduced to 150 peso. May be used in Beijing, the owner doesn't allow cut, I called the 80 Peso, shopkeepers start forcing me not, merely help me Wai, also kept the praise, but later I found out that no matter which I Wai, shopkeepers say that look good, without exception. It wants me to buy some, but the price is only 140 does not reduce the price. I used the Add (a porridge, but expensive), or from the sidelines (went to another to see), the life and the others refuse to sell my cheap. Originally wanted to cut 10 bucks, suddenly found 10 Peso less than 2 Yuan, woe is me in order to 1 block more money than what world with others. 140 Peso, flew over money to leave. Wai on half-day, full of herself also revolved around the winter can wear down jacket. But they sell anything but the package, even if you want to send people can only be a large white plasticBags, comparison of said ... hanchen Beach bikini beauties this almost a manpower is called Chalon, on the one hand, Sun protection, on the other hand also became a fashionable clothes. It was also specially edited Chalon 10 wear method, but if you do not go to the seaside, this thing actually is compared to the soil in the city.

By the sea has to be a local women's and children head to the basket, mango fruit, mango, Rambutan, pineapple, banana, two unknown looked like steamed garlic fruit, had been I bought a taste of delicacy.

Results found in addition to fresh, green mango is very sour, mango is not a very cooked, Rambutan and "steamed garlic" are no moisture. So no matter where they buy things to choose well. Never because fruit is an old 10 kids brain fever. A day in the us on the beach doing nothing in the past. Only when the sun goes down, we ventured into the water. Still looking for a place to eat in the evening, stroll to stroll away, that there is a restaurant road almost daily n times. D-mall is the island's bustling shopping streets, there are various restaurants, specialty shops and bars on the ground, about equal to Xidan or Wangfujing, streets have a shop to buy bread, each bread only average 5-6 Peso, there are 3 peso. Buy a few when drinking sessions, to be honest, is not very good, because they use butter or our China 10 years ago that level, very sweet sugar.

13 April:

Tom classmates yesterday in desperation and sunlight touch, it can only be in Hotel La resting on the curtain.

He was even a pain. Other people also have varying degrees of injuries, Km legs like wearing red stockings, Xu jinglei back full blaze, Tommy has a vest of imprinting, Masker really is with a mask, Apex and face was red, and Forgetful in nautical backstroke victims. Most didn't hurt the XK, because he couldn't swim, there is no water. Bald bald and Mumu two think "no limit", young still dare at noon when the swim. In addition to Km depending on rent diving suit into the water, others are very frankly, no one looked down upon the power of the Sun. There are children on the beach to the plaits, I and Doudou, Mumu, Masker, Km and Xu jinglei everyone made up a saying this, it really cool points, 200 Peso per person. This is a bit allusions plaits, because each person's hair length, we each codec method, only the hair very colorful Xu jinglei, do not know the children see plaits Xu jinglei good-natured or his hair didn't approach, since only to his head prepared the above, subsequent hair is ignored, and Xu jinglei's head is like a tortoise shell. Xu jinglei is we laugh at the day ~ ~

14 April:

Yesterday, a day wasted time, we never sit still, we're going to pack a boat out to sea.

Find the one that has both a diving suit rental and boat rental shops, and cut a half-day finally to 3000 with furled day boat, 600 tumbled several sets of clothes + foot Web and mask price negotiated. (Where the owner doesn't allow process is omitted because the boss is kind, we almost by he cheated, I talk with them after the owner doesn't allow successful wanted to throw money at her door, lest people. The boat took us around) island. The sea-central place we can own diving. I also fear the eyes water can't head pierced, later discovered underwater world is so beautiful. A wide variety of colorful fish around tour to swim, and blue large starfish in the slow movement on the rocks! Xu jinglei and Doudou seasickness, the results then a% $ # @!, to the N number of fish. XK since launching seasickness and dare not only sea sold ice lolly boat to La ashore. Other people in the water to swim. The sea waves or very large, plus boat launching small so if you are not just sitting in the boat will soon feel dizzy, even the so-called "rely on the body, the body good didn't say" Km and also surfaces such as Mumu earthy lying motionless on the ship, was going to pack a day we have a weak demand PERGA headed home. At this point the Boatman to see us too, and the ship to the shore, we disembark to rest. Masker, Tom, Tommy, a few Km, bald bald people in diving and finding a only up to the sea cucumber, 30cm life and want to give the evening meal with a soup. But helpless even if they do not run sea cucumber dive too deep, all the while holding sea cucumber. The basic recovery Xu jinglei in Theosophy is keen to show you my Dukes LUCF heroic, but also by the help of soup in the evening, so do while wearing a shirt and swim pants, goggles, diving mirror and glasses, swim to the sea cucumber. Buoyancy due to seawater, clothes too out of the way, and in the hand without any tool is really not very good catch, Xu jinglei * & ^% $ # @! (Because of the privacy of the parties involved, omitted here). But still does not help him, our evening soup last or spoiled.

The sea came back feeling back, leg cramps, so I'll call a hotel Massage room, a good massage.

1800 Peso muscles relax massage, particularly for the muscle soreness after exercise. Massage girl found me at the shoulder muscles are very hard, I often use a computer, it is best to do every two weeks to do Massage. I wish I hadn't come out to play, it does so at their own FB, usual activities.

15 April:

The last day of the tour, and we do not know what meaningful things to survive.

Early in the Doudou, Tom, Km, Masker and Mumu sea diving, came back to the point.

Sea Fish, called the "Fly" of activity attracts our attention.

Played a Banana Boat that we do not know the extent of the risk actually vary greatly, so on a pirate ship. Flying fish in danger is that you want in the torrent with yourKeep your arm strength, which is one of the more difficult a ship fast, second is water resistance will weaken your strength, you will always be bitter sea choked, fourth is sitting in the middle of the person if it is not necessarily to disembark, what kind of speed and angle flew out, who is very difficult to hit. Of course this is played after the summed up, if you know ahead of time, estimated that nobody will play. Originally, I have a little timid, later being despised play project, also old swimming, go swimming, dongdan is determined to play once. The consequence is that several people in the dizzy, has a population of frothing, chest injuries ... Most of the injured. So after what parachutes such as game no one dare to try. Afterwards we all agreed that "flying fish can hurt," and consistent luck is on the last day to get involved in this project. The day's Supper became very meaningful, because everyone wants to reward their bravery, prawns with big meat became the main food. Seen hawking says two pounds large shrimp, we feel that Beijing's HongQiao market looks like there is a suspicion of kengpian consumers. Xu jinglei remains distinctive ate 1320 peso's lobster and lobster in the aftermath of eating to be child into his coat pocket to show off.
