Day 2: at the Pacific Ocean

On Saurday to gain our energy back to 100% after the short sleep we had the breakfast in the accommodation what the grandma prepared from fresh seafood in just a few minutes…it was really delicious! We decided to go to the south-eastern side to check out the beaches there. Eluanbi, the island’s southern village has a nice Lighthouse where we had to get off to have a close-up view for the coral reef and the rocky beach from the cliff. The wind is so extremely strong on at the edge of the cliff that it could throw us off balance! But it was worth to have that amazing view for the Pacific coastline. We drove forward to find a sandy beach. We arrived to a little village where we saw a vendor selling hermit crabs (look at the pictures). These cute animals caught my and Andreas’ fancy to buy some as house pet…:) Andreas has 2 (Gordon and Jerry) and I bought 3 (I still haven’t named them..) After we played enough with them :) we went out to the beach which was full of surfers. Here the waves are really good for surfing…we rent a body board which was still cool to ride a bit on the waves. But the real ride just came after with quads! …and it was not just around a circle, but through hills and bushes…cool staff.
Our main aim was to try the scuba diving during this weekend. In the afternoon it was too late to do that so we scheduled it for Sunday. Instead we went to the Sihjhongsi hot spring…we were relaxing for a few hours before we came back to Kenting to have a Saturday nigh’s party…in the club we met so many foreigners who “tried” to go for local girls… we had to show them how Europeans hit the floor…:)
