off we go!

OFF WE GO! Just had a Vietnamese test and am now cramming the last of my stuff into my backpack (thank you Michael :)) before I get on the bus on Pulau Danyang! 

Sounds simple, but the bus is just taking us to Mersing, before Mersing we have to stop at Johor Bahru to go through Malaysian immigration, which will most likely be characterized by extreme inefficiency. All of this will take about 5 hours. Once in Mersing we get on a ferry to Pulau Danyang, which will take about 3 hours. That means we will arrive in the very early morning hours. The bus will probably be cooled down to European winter temperatures (still don't understand why 20 degrees instead of 15 just won't do), so there will be little sleeping, but instead loooots of diving upon arrival. Three dive trips are planned for Saturday and another one on Sunday before we get on the bus back to Singapore. I'm so excited! There better be some serious Nemo flocks out there. :) 

I'm not taking my cell phone with, since I won't have any reception anyways and no laptop either. I'm not sure whether we will have internet access, so technological isolation will be the most likely scenario, but I think I would have been too busy swimming with the fishies anyways. I hope to get my hands on an underwater one-way camera, since I couldn't find an underwater case for my digital camera and it would have been way too muuuchos expensive to get one anyways. Either way, I will post out of the water shots as soon as I get back (and have caught up on sleep :)).

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Love,
