Finally have some time to blog about our Redang Shore Excursion during our cruise trip... We arrived at Redang around 12pm on 2nd September, assembled at "The Lido" before disembarking the ship...
Prior arrival in Redang, we went to the shore excursion counter to book for the optional tour to go snorkelling at the Marine Park. We paid S$45 per person for a crappy ferry ride to the Marine Park with a set of dodgy life jacket and snorkelling mask.. It would have been totally worth it if the coral were alive and there were more fishes... but sad to say... it's very disappointing.
When the ferry was close to the marine park, I was very excited cos I was there a few years back with Money and Yaya and we had a blast! However I was kinda suspicious when the ferry docked.. cos where are the people? The park is deserted! BAD SIGN! And where are the floating platforms where we could sun-tan and feed the fishes from? DOUBLE BAD SIGN!
Anyway, I was trying to console myself and kept telling myself "It's gonna be ok, it's gonna be fun..."..
And then I looked into the water and I sian full liao... The coral are all dead and the fishes... so little fishes! It's supposed to be a netted area! WHERE ARE THE FISHES!?!?!
I waited at the bench while Pipimon went to exchange one of the snorkelling masks cos the tube was broken. =.= Ohmygod.
This is also Pipimon's 2nd time at Redang, but he said the first time was years and years ago so he forgot all about it.. T_T"
Anyway, we swam around for less than 1hour, than I complained that the water is too warm, the sun is too hot, the fishes are too little and the bigger ones keep nibbling at my toes cos maybe it look like breadsticks since I am so fair... and it fucking hurts cos the stupid parrot fishes have freaking sharp teeth!
So we walked around the the place and found it to be a ghost town. I'm not sure if it's because of the fasting month or because the place is abandoned.. but there's no shops selling food or water and I nearly died of thirst... thank god Pipimon bought extra water bottles for me..
And the toilets! OHMYGOD! OHMYFUCKINGGOD! There are no showers facilities in the ladies, only in the men's toilets..!! which I think is super lame! The ladies smell like fuck! And there are flies everywhere!! URGH! And there's only the little hoses in the cubicles which is used to wash asses, not body... so it's damn gross lah! But still got people queuing to bath in those shit holes can! I refused to step in.. and in the end I found a working tap outside the men's toilet and used that to wash my hair and rinsed myself. I didn't give a damn that a lot of guys were staring cos at least it's clean and it didn't smell bad!! Pipimon was there with me, so it was alright.. i tried to towel myself dry and wore my dress over my swimsuit. Wanted to go back to the cruise and shower properly.
YUCK YUCK YUCK!
Thinking of the toilets wanna make me puke!
Pipimon wanted to rest in the shelter. so I brought Domo to the beach for a shot~~ Nice huh?
I also brought him back to the bridge to feed the fishes.. We bought 2 loafs of bread at RM5.. it was RM3 each, but I only had RM5.95 in spare change and the guy did not have change for RM50 notes.. so he gave us a discount.. Wahahahhahaa!
I was aiming the bread at the swimmers, so when the fishes spot the bread, they will swarm the swimmer.. gave some of them a heart-attack.. and one of the guys shrieked and swam to shore for dear life!! Wahhahahaa! I'm so mean but it's fun!! They are so cowardly lah! Got one little boy was so excited he was shouting "Jie jie throw somemore!!"... See? Little boy braver than a grown man! Tsk tsk!
After waiting for around 40mins, the 1st ferry is here to send us back.. we can't wait to leave this god-forsaken place and crowded round the jetty for a sticker that will give us a place on the 1st ferry..
Finally boarded the ferry and went back to the cruise ship! First stop! BLUE LAGOON! We want cold drinks!!
Ehh? Why no people AT ALL?
Cos this is a place where the food is not free, and obviously the cruise is full of cheapo people who are there to gamble or eat free food that is included in the itinerary.. so since the casino is closed when the ship is docked, we guessed they are sleeping away waiting for dinnertime..
We don't mind though.. cos it's like we booked the whole place! wahahahhahaha! Pipimon ordered 2 cans of soft drinks without looking at the menu, devoured it and we later found out it's S$6.50++ per can.. he nearly had a heart attack.. but it's ok lah.. :) He ordered the chicken wings with fries, which tasted ultra yummy cos we were dammn hungry.
Yummy Ice Lemon Tea! S$6.50++
Kick-ass porridge with salted egg! S$10.50++
After the lunch, we went back to our cabin for a shower and slept for a while before dinnertime.. as mentioned earlier, the food was horrible.. so I guess the best meal we had onboard was the one we paid for at Blue Lagoon.
Hopefully our next holiday trip will be more exciting and fun-filled! DOMO DIARIES Part III! Where is DOMO going next? Stay tuned!
