Our Girly Beachy Holiday Day 2

After having breakfast at our hotel.... we are off to Coral island~ 

Knowing that we will be doing water activites today, I went to nearby shop to get a waterproof cam last night (ard 400THB, during sea walking they offered to sell us at 800THB!!!!) 
Look cool right? 
while waiting to get on the speed boat~ 

and here we are at the coral island!
beautiful beach!

& off we go a small boat to the sea walking boat: 
questions start popping out..... 'how are we going to go down? how do we breathe how do we.........'
we are super duper anxious and scare!!!!
On board this boat, an A4 instruction manual was handed to us..and yes that's it! and you can imagine our faces.... O.O
On the above pic, you saw the astronaut looking helmet and the stair right infront? 
1. go down using the stair, leaving our head above the water
2. someone will 'CUP' that helmet on your head and another guy in the water will dragged you all the way down.... in the midst of that.... exhale out till you hear a 'pop' sound (that is really what it wrote on the instruction... and we look at each other and HUH..can meh.. will we get drown???) and yeap the truth is... we really heard a pop sound...
and soon after.... we are.. 
UNDER THE SEA!!!!!
oh ya that guy is the one who drag us down~

LOL~ pretty fun after that~ 


example of how we walk....
yeap and all this is only for around 20mins i think.... and we are suppose to climb the ladder up to the boat~
I dont know how to swim..... but this is a super achievement!!!! no regrets!!!

and back to the beach~ 
for sun-tanning

lunch 
& snorkelling~

Anyway this is the only other tourist that went to the sea walking with us, he is a english teacher in japan~ 

and back to our favourite road side stall for dinner
and we walked to patong beach as they have a canival there this weekend... 
On the way, we saw this pretty hotel...~ 

stalls at the carnival~

Had arranged Mr Mark Tour Agent to pick us up~ The staff came in a private car and drive us to the office before going to the hotel. They dropped us at the office to pay up for the airport transfer (1000 THB), you can also sign up other land packages there. Soooo.... we decide to take up something special :
Elephant trek, ATV & SEAWALKING at Coral Island ~ (2K - 3K THB, cant really rem)
My initial thought of sea walking was probably island hopping at low tide.. its a huge difference... but no regrets no far ~ 

And there we are at our hotel: 
Deevana Resorts

Entrance
Lobby
Swimming Pool
And we are so lucky! They give us a poolside view (suppose to be more ex)
Our Room

Peek a Boo at the Toilet

kakaka and we have our own jacuzzi ~!!!!

Went to the nearby restuarant to have a quick bite...
Of coz i need to order my fave phad thai~ 
The pineapple rice look yummy too... 

After filling up our stomach.... the actions begin... (for the things we signed up 2hrs ago)

In mr mark's staff car~ 

TaaDaaa!
ATVs!!!

The sound of the engine make us felt so excited!

Ok~ tts our leader~
We are supposed to test drive on the spot before we start off ~ 
unfortunately or luckily, we are soooo lousy that the ATV keep on 'SI ZHE'
conclusion: we asked them to drive for us lalalalallalalalla =X

anyway in order to reach this real ATV track... from the previous prac ground.... we need to drive the ATV on the road (YES ROAD!!! with other cars) then drive through a construction site before reaching... 
luckily we have driver... !!! if not it will scare the hell out of us!

The below photos is action only! HAHA!

There's this 2 teenagers at the back... they must be laughing at us!

Only this is the only time when we dare to play freely... ~
