Masirah Island

Nak pegi pulau ni dah lama tak x jadi2 jgk sampai laa pagi ari yg x diplan sampailah jgk kat sana.

Tempat ni jauh sangat dr my place.. Kalau x silap driving ajer dah 3 1/2 hours then naik ferry plak 31/2 hours. Lebih kurang laaa.. all in all dlm 7 hours jgk laa kan.

Nak jadikan citer, I ada student yg duk sana tp tak de laa dia duk beriya offer pegi sana sampai laa one day tu rasa macam dah bosan dah kat Sur ni then rasa macam x bz sgt so terus2 decide pegi sana. Ikutkan nak pegi sama2 dgn student ni but the last minute dia x jadi balik kampung sb ada sedara dia plak nak dtg Sur.

Yang bestnya even dia x jadi blk kg, dia tunjukkan jgk jalan nak pegi kat jetty tu. Wahhh.. rasanya kalau drive sdiri nak nyer sesat sebabnya x de sign board langsung. So nak pegi ke Island tu nak kena tunggu ferry plak and ferry pun ada time2 nya jgk kan.

Peginya hari rabu after class at 2.. biasa laa janji at 2.. kul 3 baru dtg. Naper lambat? Sebabnya dia duk tunggu pompuan2 ( rakan sekampung yg menumpang) get ready. Biasa laa kan kaum hawa lambat ajer. Diaorg ni kat sini laki pompuan mana bleh ckp to each other tp yg peliknya blk kg sesama satu kete x pe plak. Tapi.. tapi kan... semua pompuan tu akan cover muka diaorg. Kalau x silap, dlm keta diaorg tu 3 org pompuan duk belakang and my student as a driver and kwn dia kat sebelah lelaki. Tak tahu laa kat dlm keta diaorg berckp to each other or not.

Diaorg ni cam gini laa.. even x jd balik, sanggup hantar kawan sampai 3 1/2 journey and patah balik. Bab2 tolong menolong ni no. 1. tak bleh lawan mana2 cultures. So I follow laa my student..

Nak jadikan citer plak, one day way to ada road block and kete kitaorg kena tahan... wah pantang nampak foreigner skit, terus kena stop ok. Well, bila stop tgk license and check permit kete. Aduhai... rupanya dah expired!! Tak sedar pun.. dah 1 month ago expired. Ni gara2 balik Msia lama and bila balik sini lupa nak renew. So terpaksa laa cakap "asif..asif... yensak" Sorry.. sorry lupa. Tapi kiranya lucky jgk laa diaorg ni nampak Msian jer.. terus2 "MasyaAllah".. Suker laaaa tu kat org Msia. Hheheheh

Bila dah kena stop dgn police tu, my student dah meluncur laju ntah kemana2 dah.. dah tak nampak dah dia kat depan.. I pun dgn my friend teruskan laa perjlnan.. and tup2.. budak tu patah balik tgk cikgunya tersanggut kat mana kan? Punya laa bagus ( ni nak tambah markah lagi ni) Hehhehehe

Then teruskan perjalanan. Katanya last ferry is at 5 and kitaorg like ada 1 hour jer lagi utk sampai kat sana. Perjlnan jauh lagi.. risau ni, ada tak pasal2 patah balik rumah ni sb dah x de ferry. Well, they know better right? Follow jer laa...

Kita ni Msian slalunya ikut rules okey.. kalau signboard 70km/h , drive gitu laa.. but then diaorg mana ada kisah. Diaorg lagi tahu mana utk speeding mana tempat yg ada camera kan? So dpt call dr student surh speeding skit.. katanya "Miss please drive quickly.. make it 120-140". What? Tak pernah ok.. my car kat sini bila dah 120 tu terus kete tu "menjerit'" warning dah melebihi had kelajuan.

Tapi coz of student yg arah cikgu ( bleh cam gitu?) terpaksa laa kena ikut kan.. kan ada yg tido kat jetty nanti. Well.. driving laaa mengikut apa yg student suruh... and stering bergegar.. seriously sumpah I x penah drive selaju itu dlm idup I okey. And I asked my friend next to me to pray for our safety...

Akhirnya sampai laa kami kat jetty tu... Ada fetty tapi dah penuh.. and tunggu 1/2 hour and Alahmdulillah ada another one dtg.. syukur sgt.

Jom.. jom.. layan gamba2 ni.. Kang citer bergamba lagi best kan? Moh kita...

Ni ferry yg first tu yg dah penuh.. Maasalaamah laa yg ni

This is the ferry tu.. seriously besar.. semua benda alam bleh masuk okey. ( I like this pic. so much sbbnya with the sun set)

Yeye, dah nak sampai dah... tengok la diorg tu, mmg x sabar. Blom lagi sampai dah  duk berdir kat tepi..

This time kete I tgk dimasukkan dlm ferry.. kena susun kete elok2 tau.. rasanya bleh buat 20-30 kete. And one car is 5 rial ( kalau x silap- dah lupa laa)

Ni masa duk menunggu, biasa laa mana ada kaum hawa kalau ada pun sure foreigner.

Tak tahu laa pakcik ni duk buat apa... masa ni duk tgk tuggu ferry... mengelamun ke? tengak membuang ker? Ntah laa labu!!

Ni kat dlm ferry tu. Yang peliknya, x de tempat nak duduk okey.. nak duduk, duk laa dlm kete masing2. If not berdiri laaa kat tepi2 tu.

Seee.. ni pun naik ferry bersama2 dgn I.. seronok korang errr... sempat ambik gamba satu jerr.. actually byk pick-up van ni bwk kambing. Tapi kaaan seriously x bau kambing pun ferry tu. Hebat kan?

Gilosss besarrr tali sauh ni.. ehh betul ehh sauh?

Buih2 air pun nak capture kan?

Sampai jer kat sana my student suruh I call best pren dia.. katanya best prennya akan bwk pegi otel and tunjuk2 tempat yg menarik kat sana. Wahh bleh cam tu? Tu laaa I ckp you all x caya.. diaorg ni x bleh sanggup mintak tlg org lain utk entertain kita. Hospitality diaorg ni mmg tip top okey!!

Ni otel yg paling murah ( actually kat sana ada 3-4 otel jer and mostly the price RO20-30) and yang ni I dpt good price. Kan  ada org yg tolong.. Good kan?
