RAWA Island Trip 17-19Apr

I’m totally in love with the sun, sand and beach!  This is one island which has a nice white beach and crystal clear water, beautiful corals and fishes can be found just near the shore. Totally suitable for snorkelling. Wee~  i just love it!!  

Took the speedboat from Mersing jetty, a 20mins boat ride.

Grabbing my Coke tightly… HehHeh~

Arrival on Rawa Jetty. Spotted their Tee shirt? Cute ya! Sunny weather!!

Thats where i’ll be staying..

We saw a board sign ” Tennis Court” and so we decided to check it out. Its a wrong choice. I wonder who will play at this tennis court which is located all the way uphill! No kidding.. the slope is super steep. But, we still managed to hike up.

Lets all take a photo.. the “Individual Post”

We came across 2 beautiful peacocks along the way.

The White Peacock.. ain’t it beautiful?

The Green Peacock

Apparently, there are a few peacocks roaming around the island freely.

Meals on the island are included in our package. Buffet style. Almost 95% of the tourist are all Ang Mohs, so even the food catered are also more westernise. My favourites - the fish battered, nuggets and beef steak! Yummy!!

The clear blue water

Lets play with pebbles..

Beach boys and girl! I think we look like some kind of band.. Wahaha

Bryan BULLIED me! Captured on camera.. haha..

We went kayaking  around the island.. rented the snorkel masks as well. We kayak out further away to the shore.. Bryan stayed on the kayak while the rest of us jump into the sea.. went snorkeling around.. Then i ask Bryan to kayak back while i hold on to the back of the kayak, so that i can just look under the sea for corals and fishes without peddling.

We continue to dip in the cool sea water. Went to play the slide. Damn Scary!! Its fast the water below was like 2m high. I guess my nose drank quite a bit of salty water. But yet.. it FUN! The guys still went to the jetty and jump down.

Sunset Beach in Pulau Rawa..

Sunset Jetty in Pulau Rawa

Everything seems so peaceful, so serene…

Ken, Angela and Ray went back to sleep at 9pm. They were super tired. So Bryan and me went for a walk along the jetty.

The Jetty in the night…

Lady Blue Sky.. The boat we took to Rawa fromMersing.

Lets enjoy a can of COKE!

Lets go for breakfast..

There are hammocks around the beachfront. And anyone can just go and lie. I felet just like a baby in the sarong. Haha..

More snorkeling…

I Love this Photo!

Nothing taste better then a glass of ICE COKE!!!

Nothing taste better than Ice-Cream in a hot day. Yummy!!

See how tanned bryan is. Woo~

After lunch and a short rest.. we went kayaking again. This time round, we decided to kayak to another island. We name it the Temptation Island… Seems near but actually it super far man..

We took like 45mins to kayak over. I shareda double kayak with bryan. Was kept being swept out by the open sea. Especially with out our weigh difference, its even more difficult to maneuver across the south china sea. Lucky the weather was fine, cant imagine if it started to rain halfway.

The island was deserted. It has a Tombolo which connect the main island to an off shore rock/cave.  There was a cave and we explored it. There’s an opening at the other end of the cave which oversee the south china sea. There are corals over there, but because the wave is huge so we did not snorkel out. It just totally amazing. Too bad we did not bring our camera along.

This is how the tombolo look like, the island we explored look something like this..

Saturday night bbq buffet…

A group photo at the jetty…

These are the only souveniers i brought back. All are from Temptation Island..
