[niyama Island] blue dream land

by Bin Xu

Show all 5 days away

The six days and four nights of the sack trip passed quickly. The pure blue sky and sea, and the low-pressure white clouds were deeply engraved in my mind. I took about 1600 photos, but I regretted that I didn't take too few. I regretted that I didn't use the video to record the dynamic beauty. There are many islands in gunny bags. I was busy with my marriage a few months ago. I left all the affairs of choosing the island to LG. I didn't care about everything from choosing the island to arranging the itinerary to flying. I just need to be responsible for approving all the plans. (snickering ~) I'm crazy about purchasing all kinds of goods two weeks before departure. I suggest you prepare early. Tip: 1. Underwater camera: it's recommended to rent one for less than 200. You can take pictures of the seabed while snorkeling, and you can also play underwater photography by yourself. (the battery of the camera can't be checked in, you should take it with you, pay attention!) 2. Toothbrush and toothpaste: Hotels with sacks do not provide toothbrush and toothpaste for environmental protection. 3. Tripod: take it with you if you like photography. When you take a group photo, the concave shape is free. 4. Snorkeling equipment: it is recommended to buy breathing tube + diving mask. In addition, I bought diving socks, but borrowed flippers on the island, so I didn't use them. Pay attention to the diving mask is connected to the nose, to prevent water inhalation, I bought a swimming glasses by mistake, so pay attention when buying. 5. Jellyfish suit: it is used for sun protection and preventing from being pricked by aquatic organisms. It is equipped with professional equipment, and there is no worry when playing. 6. Power adapter: it is provided in our island room, but we have it with us. We'd better take it in case. 7. Sunscreen: most people won't forget to bring it. We do, but! I often forget to apply it. It's easy to ignore it when I play. I must remember to apply it. LG forgot to apply it when swimming. After coming back, she shed her skin near her shoulder. I'm embarrassed  

Preparation before departure

After only one night at the airport, I didn't have time to go shopping in male city. The airport was clean, and I saw Xiao Hei cleaning the ground all the time in the middle of the night.

After only one night at the airport, I didn't have time to go shopping in male city

The 14:30 flight from Shanghai to Singapore was delayed for more than an hour after boarding on time! Fortunately, the multimedia equipment on the Singapore flight is very rich. My husband watches movies and I play games. When I arrived in Singapore, due to the delay of our flight, although the connecting flight has already taken off, we are still waiting for the delayed passengers. The staff took us all the way to board the plane, and there was no time to visit the fabulous airport.

Male Island

Postscript: I didn't eat at that time, so I was going to take it to the island to eat. As a result, I checked in the hotel the next morning, opened the square box and found that the round cake became square!! It's all over the box! The congratulatory sign and strawberry horse disappeared into the cake corpse O < put it in the fridge and ice it! So far, I found that it was mousse cake! I thought it was an ordinary cake! Although it's melted, it still tastes good!! Episode: there was a small situation during the cake shooting. The three layers of glass from the outside to the inside were full of fog. It took a long time to disappear. It turned out that the local temperature was high after we arrived at male airport from the air-conditioned plane, so the camera was like this. This phenomenon often happened later, because the indoor air-conditioning was sufficient and the outdoor heat was hot, some photos were not taken in time, such as sunrise... According to the strategy, the hotel conditions and facilities of male were poor, and the price was close to 1000. Considering that the water would fly to niyama island around 7 o'clock the next day, we didn't book a hotel for the night, and prepared to spend the 8 hours at the airport. But... But! It's really painful to stay up late. At the beginning, I was in good spirits. I watched partner in my notebook. After reading about 2:00 local time and 5:00 Beijing time! For the remaining six hours, I slept in the first half of the night, and my husband slept in the second half of the night. In fact, I was still very sleepy for the next three hours, playing defense radish with strong spirit

Male Island

Until dawn, the staff finally came. In addition to us, there were three European and American people with their own surfboards and a Middle Eastern couple who went to niama island that day. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the island by water plane. After checking in our luggage, we took the bus to Shuifei's waiting room.

Niyama's exclusive waiting room, where all food can be eaten free of charge. As a self-consciousness that going abroad can't discredit the Chinese people, I didn't dare to take it at first, until I witnessed a foreign girl taking a small packet of biscuits and stuffing it in her pocket... I ate it boldly

Male Island

After about three bottles of juice, two biscuits and a packet of potato chips, the receptionist informed us that we could take the water flight~

The scenery is really beautiful, blue is very pure, visual enjoyment

Because of the noise, we remember that the seller who rented the underwater camera gave us two sets of plastic earplugs, turned them out and put them on. But the sound didn't weaken at all. Isn't it deep enough? Anyway, I'll make do with it. Later... It wasn't until one day we went swimming that I realized that this earplug was for swimming!! It's not for sound insulation!!

The outdoor scenery is very beautiful, but after 8 hours' flight and overnight stay at the airport, we are really tired. Besides, our checked luggage has not been delivered to the island, and we are not with towels, replacement clothes and beach shoes. So I lay under the red umbrella on the beach and slept for a while. When it was hot, I moved to the room and fell asleep on the sofa. As a result, my luggage didn't arrive until 3 P! Well, prime time is over. After taking a bath, hop on the beach at the door for a while, and it will be dark after playing for a while.

The light in the cafeteria is dim. There is a small night light at each table. It's not easy to take pictures of food because of insufficient light. I didn't take a few pictures and gave up. Because of the meat we have been taking, we will be full in a short time... We ordered HB (half) for this holiday   In addition to breakfast, we can also choose a free lunch or dinner. Considering that we can eat more breakfast later, we choose dinner. In practice, two meals a day is enough, and we don't eat any snacks.

On the second day, we had breakfast, took snorkeling equipment and underwater camera, and went out to sea

Snorkeling

It's almost the snorkeling destination

Snorkeling

Today, there are not many people snorkeling out to sea. There are only four tourists. Besides us, there is also a pair of Koreans. About 20 minutes to an island.

Snorkeling

It's my first time to play snorkeling. Before I went to Sanya, I didn't dare to play. I didn't know how to swim. I always thought it was dangerous. Put on the jellyfish jacket, fins, life jacket and snorkeling equipment, sit on the edge of the boat under the command of Xiao Hei, and then Xiao Hei takes my hand and slowly puts me down. In fact, I'm not so afraid after I went into the water. I look down at the bottom of the sea and have a wonderful view.

Later, Xiao Hei may see that I am a draught duck. I swim very slowly. I often come and pull me to swim all the way. Swimming in a life jacket is not tiring at all. An hour passed quickly. The scene on the bottom of the sea is like another world, mysterious and beautiful. When we got out of the water and went back to the hotel, we didn't take off our jellyfish clothes. On the way, we met a pair of Chinese tourists who asked us whether we went snorkeling or where we borrowed our clothes. They answered that they had bought them in China. Then they suddenly realized that they didn't do enough homework. However, the requirements for snorkeling clothes should not be high, I saw that the Korean couple on the same boat were wearing ordinary long sleeve sunscreen clothes and tight bottomed trousers, and they were still in the water.

Shellfish in sacks are not allowed to be taken out of the country. I tried Baidu to look for "smuggling strategy". I didn't find a case for reference. They all said that once they were found out in the customs, they would be fined 5000. They were so strict that they gave up completely, and all the shellfish they found were returned to the beach.

It's time for dinner again soon. This evening is the place for honeymoon dinner. On the beach, kerosene lamps are burning everywhere. It's very dark. The moon on the island appears very late. The sky is dark and full of stars before 10 o'clock.

Unfortunately, there is no lobster in other people's strategy for honeymoon meal. Did they change the menu. After having enough to eat and drink, I went back to the sand house. The bed had been decorated to give us a little surprise.

To be sorted out

The next morning, after breakfast, our housekeeper took us to the water house

I originally planned to go deep diving in the afternoon, but the night before, after consulting, I found that beginners needed training before deep diving, and the overall time was relatively long. In addition, considering that they had played snorkeling the day before, I gave up deep diving. Tip: if you want to go deep diving, you should pay attention to arrange the time, because you can't fly the next day, so please play this project as soon as possible. Then in the evening we arranged another fishing trip. A boat of 5 couples set out with full confidence! Interestingly, there are both Korean and Chinese people who participate in fishing, but there are no European and American people. Is fishing not exciting? Do they disdain it?

We started our fishing at sunset. Everyone has a roll of line on their hands. Fishing here is very different. There is no fishing rod. We can use line fishing directly. We must pay attention to that the line can not be wrapped around the fingers, because if the fish has a strong hook, it is easy to cut the hand. Careful setting out, waiting quietly, sometimes there is a weak feeling that the bait is pecked, but there is always nothing to pick up, sometimes there are two adjacent Mermaid lines entangled, ah... So one hour passed quickly, although xiaoheiduo gave us 10 minutes, a boat of people still didn't catch one! Too disappointed, today's fish are full... Black side hang up also did not catch!

Today's nightlife is not over yet. After dinner, take a ferry boat at 9:30 to a bar built in the middle of the water. The highlight of the bar is a basement with underwater scenery.

The price of drinks and cocktails is about $10-15 per cup, which is not too expensive.

On the way

No fish, no fish, no fish! With regret, it's over today.

In order to shoot the sunrise, I set up a 6:00 alarm clock, but I didn't expect that when the camera arrived outside, the temperature difference was related to the camera's temperature difference, and the lens became foggy and completely pasted. When I could shoot a little bit, the sun also climbed into the sky.

Press a few photos and go back to sleep... Sleep until 9 o'clock and get up~

At breakfast, a strange case happened. I took two pieces of bread, put away the plates and went to get the drink. When I came back, I found only one piece. I asked my husband, he just left the table to get the food, so I didn't know. I almost doubt my memory, but I just can't figure out why I lost one.

breakfast

After eating for a while, we finally understand who is the thief, the crow! There are several crows on the coconut tree beside the restaurant. They often fly around. One of them has a piece of bread in his mouth! But the shape is not like mine, it's probably someone else's table... The more wonderful thing is still behind us. When we suddenly realized and had a heated discussion, a table of foreign guests in front of us just came, put down the food we took first and went to get other food. Then, a crow quickly flew to the sunshade and looked around, totally ignoring us a few meters away, And boldly flew to the chair, a few seconds, holding a piece of "vegetable leaf" on the slip, the owner of the table just came back to see this scene, also wow exclamation.

Today is the last day of gunny bags. We should seize the time to play sports. There is a free one hour kayak on the island. After breakfast, Xiao Hei asked. He said that it's near noon, and the sun is very strong. It's not recommended to row. He suggested to come back after 3 or 4 p.m. OK, Xiao Hei said it was hot. It was really hot. Let's go back to our water house and play in the swimming pool. At 1:30 p.m., there was a spa appointment yesterday. It seems that spa is very popular. When I made an appointment yesterday, there was only one time period left. This is my first time to do spa, during the process of all kinds of fresh, very comfortable.

After the spa, I went to the free recreation room in the hotel for a while, including billiards, Xbox, chess and table football.
