Swimming with Sharks

Hey hey hey! Guess I'm back to writing!

 From the Jetty, we hopped in a speed boat and cut through the waves of the sea. It was terrifying at first, because of the huge waves that we had to go through and also the fact that we went against the current and that made our journey bumpy. However after a while we got use to it. 

 

 

We arrived to 'Pulau Perhentian' (Perhentian Island) and felt that we were in a different world. I do not know how to describe the fantastic scenery that I had to deal with. I was overwhelmed. The water was crystal clear, the sky was clear as well, and trees were wild. It is a place where you can breath in the view, see wild monkeys, and squirrels. (I rarely see them)

It seems that nature rules the place. There were no cars nor any other road transportation. The only transportation you can find there are the taxi boats. Its a perfect place to re-connect with nature.

As soon as we see the water, we obviously dive in with our snorkeling gears. There were many types of fishes; but I did not have a water proof camera with me, so i didn't have the chance to take any pictures. =(

We went to 4 different snorkeling spots around the island with a speed boat. We went to 'Teluk Pauh', 'Shark Point', 'Tanjung Basi' and another spot which I forgot the name. I saw turtles just rolling in the deep almost my size, black tip sharks in different sizes, beautiful underwater cities (coral reefs) and colorful fishes. (I saw Nemo as well swimming with his cousins)

The 1st shark I saw was near the beach. I was just snorkeling and BAM! The adrenaline I get was different. A metre long black tip shark appeared to be relaxing on the same area as I was. It was just swimming 2m from me, minding its own business. They are magnificent creatures. 

We saw the black tip shark

In the shark point site, we went shark hunting. Unfortunetly, we couldn't find any sharks.(pretty scary)

I feel really lucky to have the chance to experienced swimming with sharks, and be very close to a huge sea turtle. I had an amazing time.

If you enjoy snorkeling, diving, going to the beach, getting tan, I highly recommend you Pulau Perhentian. It is an island that you see in most brochures that are photoshop and edited, but trust me, this is A REAL ONE.  It is worth it to visit this island.

 Hope you had an amazing summer vacation!

¡Chao, Hasta pronto!

Sorry cuz' I am Lazy

Aloha readers!

I pretended that I don't have time to write my thoughts and stories in here. However, its not working very well. Its been weeks that I have thought about writing. 

I am having such an amazing time after that horrible weeks of exams. Now, I feel free like a bird, flying here and there (literally) to many interesting places; but now I'll update you about my latest adventure in my home country. [I will write more about my travels in Macedonia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania and Montenegro]

I welcome you and myself to my homeland =)

I am currently in a beautiful country in the South East Asia, having to fulfill the list of foods to eat, things to buy, and people to meet. I havent been in this country for so long [3 years to be more exact]. I miss everything.

Outside my window, I have my angles on coconut trees, houses made of fine woods, sheep grazing the land and the clear baby blue sky.  I miss the smell of the area, the smell of nature, and..... coconuts. 

Some coconut trees outside my Grandparent's house.

Next week I'll be traveling to an island, where most probably, I'll be relaxing near the beach where the sand is white and powdery. Other than that, another news is that I'll be snorkeling and except the breath taking scenery of the under water world- the coral reefs. I'll be swimming with the sharks and turtles. [The sharks there are harmless] :)))

-sigh-

Not to worry, I'll be writing about that as well in the near future. No te preocupe. ;)

Stay tuned to read more about my adventures with the sharks and turtles. (and more photos will be posted)
