FINAL ~ Pulau Kapas 220805c: Bye-bye

[NOTE: For a better read, please start at the bottom. Don't ask me why, that's how it works!]

Although I spent two days snorkeling, unfortunately I'm not able to show pics of the huge aquarium under the sea. Yes, I did spot fish of all hues and colours (including Nemo & Gang), pretty corals, ugly gamat and urchins, little crustaceans, fierce-looking cuttle-fish, giant clams, etc. For justice to be done, maybe it's time for me to invest in a waterproof digicam, specifically for underwater photography.

Anyway, Kapas, though not as glamorous (or as exploited) as Tioman or Redang, is a great place to unwind and to be close to nature. But, hey, for a person who hates long boat rides like moi, Kapas is indeed a godsend!

Nope, this pretty one is not ours. Chugging along, it takes 40mins just to do the 6km crossing.

Yup, this is ours. In 10mins we would be on dry land again.

The powerful outboard motor revs up and we hit 45km/h. Bye-bye, Kapas. We'll be back soon enough.

Very calm water, like a huge swimming pool? 

Pulau Kapas 220805b: The Denizens

This must be one lonely cat. Very few of them on the island.

Pied Imperial Pigeon or Burung Rawa. Can grow up to half a metre, and a handsome creature indeed.

Another pose. 

Pulau Kapas 220805a: The Garbage

Resort's garbage ready for collection, to be disposed off on the mainland. 

The garbage truck arrives. 

And the garbage-men promptly gets to work. Nope, they do not spill anything on the roadside.

Pulau Kapas 210805n: The Bonfire

A bonfire on the beach. What a way to end a busy day. :-)

Venus, the little white dot in the sky.

Pulau Kapas 210805h: The Critters

A hairy gamat, stranded when the water receded. Poor bloke! When snorkeling you can see this critter (and its other cousins) littered everywhere on the sea floor!
