1st Advanture in Phuket
Tuesday, March 22, 2005

Well... My first tour will be going to James Bond Island and stopping by 3 Island along the way.

The mini bus came to pick me up at 8:15am. Woooh, the so called mini bus is actually a 12 seater van :(

I got a free coastal ride from Patong Beach to Ao Po. 9 foreigners (5 big size guys & 4 ladies) + driver + me are in the "mini bus" going thru the mountain road. Worst still we were late, so you can probably imagine how was the ride..:

Because I am alone & of course my beauty ^_^ the crews treated me very good. Free drinks for me & all the way stayed with me to take photographs for me.

For natural canoe, we have to be in pairs, so I got to know this guy from England call Bryan. Waoooo this is his 11th month of his holiday. He quit his job & started traveling since May 2004. How I wished I can do the same thing :) my boss will be counseling me if this blog eventually goes to his mailbox :) hehehehe

My only regret for this trip is that I still don't know how to swim yet...:

The last stop before going back to phuket is Naka Island. 1 hour of swimming & sea canoe. And my choice is definitely go for sea canoe :) because I can't swim.

I got a very good destination for myself. It's a small beach 1 km away the beach we gathered. And I requested to 'adventure' on my own, meaning that the crew is not following, not even watching from far ....

It was good in the beginning and I felt soooooo good ^_^ . 10 minutes later when I'm totally away from everybody's eye sight, I look down..... I see nothing but stones & branches. I look forward & didn't see anyone on the beach I'm going. Oppss..... It's not a good sign & I decided to make a u-turn. The wind was so strong suddenly & no matter how hard I swing the paddle, my boat doesn't seem like moving. My hands are tired & I just rest for 10 secs. Oh no! The strong wind & waves are pushing even further. Then I kept swinging the paddle & guess what..... I still didn't move even a feet. I got soooo panic, the fear is real. (In case some of you thought I never fear)

I keep my hands on the paddle & fix my eyes to the beach just 1 km away. This is the hardest time I ever had to reach a destination 1 km away.

Worst still, I left my camera's plastic bag open & I got a wetcam (not webcam). Here goes my day in Phuket without a camera :(
