Travelogue: Miyako Island, Okinawa, Japan - Day 5


Morning view of Maehama Beach




I found the best way to chill on the beach.



There's so little people here. It almost feels like a private island.








My table. One word, shiok.


Check out the reefs at Yoshino Beach man. Crazy or what.


I found these orange brave ones!


I like the sun's heat on my skin even though I really don't like getting too dark.
Woes of a girl.





This is how I'd like to remember my days on the beach. Happy. Blessed.












Managed to catch the sunset!





I think this was my lunch. Omu rice onigiri. Legit.


Oh my god, Kabaya, I love you so much!
My love for junk food knows no bounds. Not kidding.


The silly-happy face I have on after I crossed the sea bridge!














Day 05

Woke up early and popped by the Maehama beach! I think it looks more gorgeous when the sun is high even though it's scorching hot. Those kind that can give you the sunburn lol.

After which I decided to pay for the cab fare to and fro from Maehama to Yoshino beach. The fame beach for snorkeling! One way trip cost S$50. But I met the cutest taxi driver! Kawata san! We communicated in my broken Japanese and he even offered me coffee. So sweet right this old man. I should have taken a photo with him.

Once I arrived at Yoshino beach, I had to change to a shuttle bus to the beach because the path is so hilly and rough. 500yen for both ways! Parasol cost 1000yen and towel 200yen. Gotta be the costliest beach I've ever been to! Anyway there's a changing room there before you head to the beach. Thank god I suit up there first.

Can I say the beach is AMAZING?! (see above pictures) The freaking reef is just a footstep away from the beach. And the fishes oh man, tons of it. Waves were so strong that day though but I managed to be mind blown by what I saw (smiles)

Nothing is better to lie on the beach after a few trips into the sea hehe. I remember feeling so relaxed under my umbrella, by the beach.

Soon it was 2pm and time to head back. Anyway next time can stay longer! Make the money worth it. Just remember to get a lot of water and food. You are gonna get sooooo thirsty.

4pm and I went to rent the bicycle to attempt cycling over the Kurima Great Bridge! And I made it across the sea okay. What a feeling lol. I was spinning in the middle of the road (doing usual sofina stunts) and one side of my earrings came off and I can't find it cause cars were coming on the road. Oh well. The ups and downs of traveling is like that.

I kept saying to my head "Just enjoy the ride back." But I kept getting amazed by the scene as I ride on the bridge! Stopped countless times to take photos! Crazy already. Oh by the way the bridge is just 2km one way. Not that I'm superwoman or what. Though this entire time I've never seen anyone cycling around, much less a girl with huge earrings cycling across the sea hehe. Must be a sight. There were up-slopes here and there and it killed my legs.

Made it back to hotel in time for rush for the sunset. Barely just made it. It was a pleasant sight (: With a gross soda and yummy kabaya sticks. Took photos for a group of Japanese with beers in their hands. And that's how I ended my night!


PS. December is here. Smile more. Laugh more. Love more.

Racha Islands, Coral Island (Phuket)


Day 2 at sunny island Phuket!

 We went on a tour package which includes Full day tour of Racha/Raya Islands and Coral Island.
Cost about S$72/pax inclusive of pickup from our secluded resort. It's cheaper if you are from Kata/Patong/Karon area around S$60/pax instead. Use this info as your based rate! I've already done extensive research on prices there. 








Started our day with pretty sights and decent breakfast spread.
LOVE EM BACONSSSSS.





Honestly, I miss this place of absolute tranquility.
Always ending the day in the comfort of our canopy beds.






La Bay first up!
A short ride from Chalong Pier.








*cue ecstatic muffles from my mouth*
FISHIES.





Look at the tiny ones!




OH HELL YEAH
No life jackets!







Breathing in human legs for a living.
^^





Next we arrived at Patok Beach! (I think) Too much info a day to cramp in my head. I was just so taken aback with the wonderful sights.




Frolicking in the waters with my babe.
I swear the water is exactly like what you see here. Super magical looking!
I can sun-bathe here all day man.








I was the paparazzi for this "shoot" haha.






And we leave this piece of heaven to our next destination.
Coral Island.
Just a small island with relatively clear waters. But kinda overcrowded though.
Over here you can do parasailing, sea-walking, scuba-diving etc.



  
















With the pretty Russian lady.


Over here at this bridge there was a group of guys. As I started sprinting down it, they started counting down "3, 2, 1" and I started dashing down it! This was all told to me by my friend who was behind me and heard the counting down. Hilarious much. Such a coincidence!




And back to hotel!
Check out the "public" bunnies. Cute right, but not sure if I can touch them a not.










Heading to our dinner by the pool.

Yummy green curry! I'm surprised. Ordered some alcoholic drinks which we couldn't finish.



With that we concluded our trip!

Things that I learnt this trip is the convenience of having waterproof footwear!
Love the F-troupe bathing shoes (get it at ASOS or Solestruck)

Really love Raya Island since Similan Islands are closed at this period of time.
