Phuket Trip (29 Sep - 2 Oct 2006)

Recently, we took a short trip to Phuket and I must say that it was a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of work life. Though it rained quite a bit when we were there, we still had sunshine on some days and took the opportunity to visit a nearby island (though not my preferred one, which would be Phi Phi island).

When the weather was good, Dear tried out Parasailing on the beach. After much persuasion, I actually tried it out too. Ha! It was quite exciting when I first took off, but after that, it actually felt like...err..was that it? When you are up there, you don't really feel the speed at which you are moving. In fact, things seem to be moving quite slowly..

In the evening, we went to watch a cultural show called Phuket FantaSea. Buffet dinner was part of the package and tickets and I guess the place was quite interesting. It was like a mini theme park (minus the rides). We had quite a nice time there.

On another day, we could not go to Phi Phi Island due to the weather condition. We were told that the waves were too choppy. Felt a little disappointed, but we decided to go to another nearby island called Khai Island. It was the first time that I tried snorkeling! Quite a scary experience at first, but after a while, it was actually quite fun once you get the hang of it! This really inspired me to want to go for another snorkeling trip where the waters are really crystal clear....*dreamy*

Well, it may be a short trip, but I guess the company really makes it romantic ;) Look forward to another trip soon!
