Boracay & Cebu (Day 4)

Check out my previous post here

We woke up around 7am for a swim as the sun in Boracay rise early.

Boracay & Cebu (Day 3) - First dive

Continue from my first post of Day 1&2 here.

We dawn on a little place on airbnb and it was really a nice room compared to our previous room in Station 2. This place is also in station 2 and it has a bigger room. However, the air-conditional was not working and the staff came to fix, it got a little colder but was not really sufficient for us. At least we got some cool air and that is good enough for us.

This airbnb stay is located inside the resort of Calypso, thus, they do daily cleaning of the room and their staffs were friendly. It is located just in front of the beach which is another plus point.

We got to book at the rate of RM 155 per night which was slightly cheaper than the previous hostel, and we were really excited on the savings we got with a big room. Thank God :)

Parting of the sea in Malaysia - Sasaran 天空之镜

When we think of parting of the sea, the story of Moses in the Bible will appear in our mind. I'm still amazed by the wonders of this earth that God had created, and last weekend I got to experience the parting of sea myself (Although not as magnificent as how Moses went through), Lol.

There are a few places that have this phenomenal event, and there is also one in Malaysia. There are only a few days in a month that the straits of Melaka would have tides as low that there will be the appearance of the mud flat in the center of the sea. We took the chance and quickly call the agency on this tour since there are only a few days in a month that they have this trip.

We called up a few agencies but they were fully booked and we got to be on the trip with this agency. The details are as followed.

These were some handy tips given by the travel agency,

1. Do dress as colourful as possible

2. Use the Props prepared by the agency

3. Space out during photo taking for nice pictures.

We woke up at 5:30am to travel to Jeram, Sasaran, Selangor as we have to reach by 6:30am for breakfast at the stall below.

The weather was not pleasing and it kept drizzling, so, the pictures we took at the mud flat was not up to our expectations too. We got onto the boat below by climbing down from the jetty. The jetty's stairs was steep so this trip might not be suitable for pregnant women or senior citizens.

Boracay & Cebu (Day 1 & 2) - Pretty Boracay + Adventurous water activities

We thank God that we were able to get free tickets to The Philippines, kudos to my hubby's effort.
Here is a video link that my hubby made for this trip with his XiaoYi camera.

We took the flight from KLIA 2 to Boracay and spent 4 days 3 night, and route to Cebu via domestic plane from Boracay.

Our tired faces as we woke up very early to take the flight from Johor Bahru to KL and waited for the flight from KLIA to Boracay.

We touch down Kalibo ariport by 3:00 PM, it was only a small airport and got our passport chops.

A trip to visit the Rafflesia (biggest flower in the world)

We had been to Cameron highlands more than 10 times since young, as it is a must visit place in Malaysia. However, we made our Cameron highlands trip a little different on the valentines day this year (14 Feb 2016).

We went to Cameron highlands just for 2days 1 night to take a rest, but, we realize that it had become a commonplace to us and we decided to hike the mountains to see the Rafflesia. We took the half day tour which cost us RM 60 per pax for 4 hours hike. Understand from the tour agent that there is currently only 1 agency that has this tour, which is the Hilltop adventure group. Here is the link to their various package.

Do call the agent beforehand, as they will inform whether there is Rafflesia in the mountains the day before.

The reason, because Rafflesia's life span is only 2-3 days during their blooming stage. The agency will get the orang asli (local aborigines) and the dogs to find the Rafflesia, once found they will only bring the group to hike.

Here are the pictures of the hike. The hike was not easy to us, as there was a lot of leeches and it was slippery after a day of rain. We cover ourselves with long pants and shoes and socks, but we still got bitten by the leeches. But, it was worth the hike after we saw the largest flower in the world.

Pulau Sembilan, Perak - The mysterious phenomena of the Blue tear (蓝眼泪) -Day 2 & Teluk Intan

Click here for the Day 1 post.

We woke up at 7:00am and was in time for sunrise, and we went for breakfast.

After breakfast, we took the chance to grab a few more pictures before we head back to the jetty.

 

Pulau Sembilan, Perak - The mysterious phenomena of the Blue tear (蓝眼泪) -Day 1

It's really been a long time not updating my blog, just return from Pulau Sembilan and would like to blog it when it is still fresh in my mind.

There is only 2 agency in order to go Pulau Sembilan as followed:
Hai Xing (海星) : https://www.facebook.com/pulausembilanicestar/?fref=ts
9 Island Agency  (环岛旅游业) : https://www.facebook.com/Nineislandagency/

We choose Hai xing as it offers cheaper package than the other agency, 2 days 1 night for RM 270. The package inclusive of the following and the itinerary would be at the end of the post.

We departed early and arrive at the Bagan Datoh jetty by 8:30 am for our simple breakfast. The directions to the jetty would also be provided by the agency, but here is the address in case you would like to have it. If you are thinking to go to the place and only self-travel to the island, it would not be possible as you will still need to engage one travel agency to bring you over.

Before the details, here is a panaroma view of pulau sembilan, such a beauty.

We arrive the jetty by 8:30am, and had a simple breakfast provided by the agency which is our local delicacy - Nasi Lemak. We also bought a pack of Teluk Intan's famous Chee cheong Fan.
