krabi part 2...

on e 1st nite, we shop shop here & there...looked 4 dive centres which cld take us out 2 kingcruiser wreck....but almost all e centres doing e wreck & super day (i.e. 3dives) on sat...argh....we almost 1ed 2 give up & go rockclimbing on fri den sat go superday....finally!!! we found....ao nag scuba centre....e lady was kind o relaxed...& we werent 2 sure if we shld take...but they were e only centre willing 2 go kingcruiser on fri....& they were much cheaper...so we decided 2 go 4 it.....after making e payments, we made our way 2 make bookings 4 our rockclimbing 4 sat....

wat did i c during e dive on e 2nd day??? i dun rememb!!! hahhaa...must go bk look at logbk & pics...hahaha...i rememb a v small yellow boxfish!!! so cute!!!octopus...sea snake...

after e 2 dives at phi phi island, we were bk 2 ao nang....pouring like mad when we rc...all soaked!!! free transport bk 2 our hotel....hot shower!!!so nice!!! btw, tt stupid aircon always cannot work...always 've 2 get e technician 2 fix!!! c how lousy e hotel is!!!!

woke up 6+ on fri....raining...damned....when we rc e ao nang scuab centre, we met robert, e divemaster 4 e day...he told us tt there was a storm, & it was not possible 2 go 2 kingcruiser wreck cos it was in e open wif no shelter....e diveboat wld not b able 2 anchor & it was potentially dangerous....e only other option is 2 go phi phi (other sites den e 1s we went previous day)...we discussed...since we wldnt b able 2 rockclimb if we swop e date, decided 2 juz go phi phi again...

tis 2nd day o diving was not bad!!! we went wif tis grp o volunteers (i tink mostly students) who is involved in e reef conservation in krabi...there were < 15 divers altogether...& they were quite a funny grp...& they were more relaxed....e volunteers dived on their own, whereas me & HN dived wif 2 divemasters!!!

saw quite a lot o things.....ghost pipefish....shrimps...devil scorpionfish...many diff nudibranches...& tonnes & tonnes o small fishes who r not afraid o swimming pass u!!!! & also a lot o diff puffers...& sme r really big!!! stingrays....cuttlefish...& e softcorals were really colorful!!! & i tink we saw at least 10 lionfish!!!!

we got a refund cos we only went 4 2 dives...so we had sme extra cash...hahhaa...as always, we had hot shower which was really nice after a whole day o soaking in cold seawater!!!

we went into krabi town via cab...which was really x!!! 800baht return...but e driver took us 2 a v v v v nice thai restaurant!!! initially we tot we were in sme weird eatery!!! cos there were fried red ants, insects etc in e menu!!! hahahah...den we ordered a local veg wif shrimp...when it came, it was like a plate o leaves!!! hahhaha....but it tasted really really gd!!!& tt tom yam soup was so gd!!!ahhahaha...only e prawns & papaya salad were 2 spicy!!! but they were v gd also!!!

sadly there was nth in krabi town!!!! so disappting...but we brought fruits which were v nice!! & i finally got my watermelon ice-cream!!!

on sat, again we woke up early!!!7+....had breakfast den waited 4 e pickup 2 go rockclimbing at railey...e guide, toby, wasnt 2 friendly...but e cllimbing was gd!!! 1st time i did my outdoor climbing even though i've been climbing in gym 4 more den 1 yr (almost 2 or 3??)....i was kind o scared!!! cos it was quite high!!! hahhaa....but it was definitely a lot o fun!!!!

we had a break 4 lunch, food wasnt v gd...& there was lotsa flies!!! & i mean a lot!!!!scary!!!

den we had more climbs!!! is time it was even higher!!! approximately 30m...hahahha really really high!!! tt i was really scared when i was up there!!! but i was really happy abt e climb cos i took ard 15mins 2 scale it, i saw many others take at least 30mins 2 do e same route!!! =)

it started 2 drizzle ard 4+, i had done ard 4 climbs 4 e afternoon...so was kind o tired & arms all pumped up...so decided 2 end e day...we didnt know tt we needed 2 wait 4 others 2 return 2gather...so we waited 4 almost 2hrs!!! damned...

when we got bk 2 hotel, we asked e frontdesk if they cld pack breakfast 4 us since we r checking out early e nx day, they said e kitchen was oredi closed soo cldnt...but they never tell us tt we nd 2 tell them so early!!! damned....anyway we had fruits which we cld eat....
