I gave Josie my cold, so she spent the first 3 hours sleeping in the chalet, Mokhtar's place. I slept too, but on the beach ... gotta get rid of that farmer's tan. This time around, we don't have AC so it's pretty hot, but the wind's strong here so it's manageable. There's also a sandfly nest in the wall on the outside.
I woke up, then went snorkeling. A mask, snorkel, and fin rental is only $2.50 for 2 hours. Josie key me use her camera so I went and took about 1 gig of pictures and videos. The coral here wasn't nearly as good as Fam Canyon from yesterday's dive, but for $2.50, it was fine.
There were plenty of fish though. Hundreds of fish in schools. One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. There were some fish that came right up to me and actually followed me for a while. I wasn't sure if they were harmless or not so I got out of there. Then I began thinking. We dived down to 60 feet (30m) yesterday and there weren't any signs of danger. So fish only 10 feet (3m) below me probably aren't going to eat me, so I went back and lo and behold, there they were. But they just hung out with until I finished my dive.
There is this couple staying not too far from us. Two foreign exchange students going to university near KL. Osama is from Yemin studying engineering. I passed up all oppotunities to take a stab at his name cuz I'm sure he's heard it all before. And his girlfriend Miriam from Germany is studying Economics. They met in Malaysia and are vacationing on Tioman for the week. They're a very nice couple. They went snorkeling together and she went out in just her bra and panties ... but for some reason, I don't know why, it seems very German to me.
Josie and I went to dinner at the sunset cafe and saw a nice sunset, as well as a brewing lightning storm off shore. I hope that doesn't mess up our plans for tomorrow or they day after.
See? I told you, Germans and their panty fetishes.
ReplyDeleteMan, you gotta eat those annoying fishes. That'll show them.
