I need a holiday!















Oh, those happy and carefree days at Redang...























Friggin cold waters at a mangrove in Krabi.
Apparently, the waters would be crystal clear on Sunny days. We happened to be at Krabi during the rainy season. (It rained 4 out of our 5 days there)
Those roots you see are actually real strong and sturdy. I had to hang on to them in order not to be swept away by the current.
Our guide told us that people actually "sail" down the mangrove river on sunny days. We've also seen pictures of this mangrove where the banks are crowded with tourist folks.
Well, I had the whole mangrove to myself that day.
Took alot of courage to jump into the waters. The guide had to find a spot where there were no rocks. And then we were supposed to jump in. Not climb in from the sides. Jump. From a platform a distance above the river. The exhilaration that very moment when I took the leap and hit the murky waters was awesome. It's my Mastercard experience. Priceless.
