So after our rainforest adventure I was looking forward to chilling out on a beach again, it felt like it had been too long! We had another long journey to the other side of the main land and then a speed boat over to the smaller island. The speed boat was so fast, couldnt even look up and had to hold onto everything so it didnt fly off the boat....but got their in one piece, so a successful journey! We booked into a resort called Sharila and ended up getting a twin air con room with its own bathroom for 4 quid each a night! now thats what i call a bargain! We went for a quick dip in the sea, just felt so good to be back by a beach again, we ate in a small little taverna called Amelias, half the tables were actually sat in the sea. I tried shark off the BBQ for the first time, tasted bit like tuna steak, but was just so nice to have a change of food after our noodles and rice overload the last couple of days! The next 2 days were just filled with relaxation, long lies is what was needed. We went to the main beach called long beach which is by far the most idylic beach i have ever seen, your typical white sand, blue sea picture! The islands have only just re opened after monsoon season so no one is on the islands. which means no one on the beach...perfect for us! and glorious weather! Amelia's became our restaurant we ate in daily and we got to know the locals quite well. The told us to go to this secluded beach as the snorkelling was good, so the next day we took a little wander and found this little bay with again no one in sight! Went for a quick snorkel and there were just so many fish and so clear, after a couple of minutes i was swimming with black tip reef sharks, absolutely amazing! .....and had eaten one for my dinner the night before! One of the best snorkelling sights i have ever seen, beat thailand anyway!
The evenings on this island we really chilled there are only a couple of restaurants and no bars, people just gather on the beach and someone will play guitar and sing, totally the perfect chill out vibe. So me and Selina sat with some of the locals drinking vodka listening to live music.....heaven!
The time came to leave this beautiful place, a definate place i will want to go back to in the future.....next stop.......Singapore!
