Back to our Villa<\/strong> Noon (BT)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We walked back to our villa and rushed to clean ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Me – just after a nice hot shower.<\/p>\n

JR, Sharon & I were the only ones that had finished our bathing. The rest were still MIA. While waiting for the rest, Sharon suggested taking a ride around the resort in the buggy.<\/p>\n

Short Drive in the Buggy 12:35 PM (BT)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still raining.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See! Me driving!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JR: Concentrate! Look in front…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Me: I want to smile into the camera!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Steady… It was fun! Not as scary as driving a real car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sharon’s turn<\/p>\n

Back to our Villa again<\/strong> 12:50 PM (BT)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Woo… Mushroom chopped! What are we having for lunch?<\/p>\n

Piping Hot!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All gone in the next minute<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My plain spaghetti<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yummy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emptied!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dessert – Ice Longons<\/p>\n

Looking for more activities 13:45 PM (BT)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

YS\u00c2\u00b2, FY & Sharon went to the Activities Counter to confirm our Fireflies tour tonight and also to check out the other available activities. Dune buggy & ATV guided tour were already fully booked for the day! JR & I were told of the “bad” news. Yee Sze said that she had already supected that this will happen since no pre-booking was done. We should have booked beforehand.<\/p>\n

We took a slow walk over to the Archery Activity station. Fully booked too! We had no choice but to make our way back to our villa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With no other activity available, YS\u00c2\u00b2, FY & Sharon decided to try the Jetski Cruise. JR & I were not that interested. We will go for a swim instead!<\/p>\n

Hole out of the sand. Can you spot the “creature” next to the hole?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoomed! You should be able to see this now – almost transparent mini-crab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A giant crab! Is it dead?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We met up with the rest and went for a swim again.<\/p>\n
