Phuket 2010 Day 2 P2

Boat leaving similan island to the next destination

Singha beer to accompany us along the way, much to Leecher's delight.

Inching closer to the final stop for the day.

This picture will give a great hint on where is the location ..... *look at the shape of the rocks*

Obvious enough? Easily the most recognisable and photographed landmark in the Similans, Donald Duck Bay is named after a rock on the north side of the bay that resembles the cartoon character.

Another rock, known as the Sail Rock is the most prominent large boulder that balances precariously at a seemingly impossible angle.

Stepping out to explore the island! It was scorching hot that we had to resort using our towels as "umbrellas".

Leecher spotted something unusual about the rocks.

Check this out!

These were seashells attaching themselves to rocks. However, be careful not to touch them as some were quite sharp and you could end up injuring yourself.

We had to walk through the land bare-footed as our slippers were being kept by the instructors.

Awesome view from the top!

Leecher doing his "Buddha" pose. We were thankful that we brought the towels along, as the rocks were hot enough for eggs to be cooked. I'm amazed that we were able to walk around bare-footed during that point of time!

Our cheeky instructors posing for the camera.

The famous sail rock ....

We had to climb up the rocks to take pictures and Leecher was surprised that I could climb all by myself without any help, heehee.

Fantastic view from another angle; the wonders of Mother Earth.

With the ever-so-interesting instructor and the always-ready-to-capture-our-pictures assistant.

Totally had no idea why Pris raised her hand, lol!

All good things come to an end eventually & I'm glad that we had the chance to visit this island. As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover ... who would have guessed that names like Similan & Donald Duck Bay would have such breath-taking views?
