The Racha (Day 3)

As Usual, we went for our brunch. To our surprise, it is low tide and there are alot of people in the Batok Beach swimming. And there are even people who went Snorkelling too.

We decided to swim in the beach after our brunch. So we went back to change and went to the sea. It was cold. We took sometime to immerse ourselves. The waves are fun. And the water is so clear... I had a fun time. After that, we had a Snorkelling excursion at 2pm which they brought us to the Siam beach.

Its my first time Snorkeling. Although I know how to swim & float, but I still have the fear of my legs not able to touch the ground. Initially, we thought it is only the 2 of us who joined the excursion. Then pop up another guy. So it is only the 3 of us plus the person-in charge(PIC). We set off after choosing our fins. :)

The water at Siam Bay is so much calmer than Batok Beach. Ideal of Snorkelling. And there are a few boats which dock in the middle of the sea for diving & snorkelling. Before going for this Snorkelling excursion, my hubby did teach me how to breath using the mask. We must breathe using our mouth and not our nose else water will get in. I had a hard time at the sea as water keep getting into the mask. The person-in charge(PIC) had went with the guy to far away to Snorkel. And me & hubby were still near the shore trying. Then the PIC came to us and he changed the mask with me. And then, everything is ok. No water get in. Then I tried to snorkel. The PIC throw the bread into the water to lure the fishes.

WOW!!! Its so nice. The feeling of fishes swimming around u. It is a different kind of experience. Then we snorkel even further cos he said we can see Corals. Indeed.... We saw. Its really wonderful. But it gets colder as u went deeper. It is really a nice and exciting experience for me. I would loved to snorkel the next time.

After that, we went back. Bath & rest and decided to go for our fine dinning dinner. We need to eat early cos we booked a massage at 730pm. So we went there and the waiter told us that it will opened at 630pm. So we waited. Then we thought we do not have much time and cant have a very full dinner as we still need to massage. So we just ordered 2 starters to eat. After massage, then we come back for the main course. After we finished the starters, we are already quite full. As it still serve us free bread which is free flow and a complimentary dish(Salmon bread). The starters are huge in portion too. It is very very nice mann! The Mushroom wrap with ham & the Scallops with Melons. Yummy!!!


After that, we went straight to our massage for 90mins. Its so relaxing after a day of activites.

And there goes another full-filling day! :)
