09/18 (Tue) Sunny
After a sound and nice sleep on the comfortable bed, we woke up early in the morning ready for a great grand breakfast in Feast Village. And then ~ it's time to have a walk to Emerald Bay. There are 3 routes. First is the longest where guess can gather at the Library on 10:30am in the morning, where they will lead to walk through the jungle. It takes about 60minutes to reach Chapman Bar at Emerald Bay. Second, is a shorter route, which is also a jungle path. This takes about 30minutes to reach Chapman Bar. Both jungle routes start somewhere near Jamu Bar at Spa Village. We, on the other hand, decided on tar road, which look like the shortest. Without passing through the humid in jungle and under attack by mosquitoes, my mate assured that tar road will be the safest for us to go for. Ermm, which was kinda correct~ just, he did not expect us to tracked up and down the hill
I suppose this to be a shortest path. It takes only 5minutes by CAR! We tracked for 20-30minutes to reach Emerald Bay. Oh yes, we stopped for twice while going up the hill. Nice try still ~ and so ... ... we reached Emerald Bay around 11am ... .... ..... or 12pm ~ There wasn't too crowded even the resort was running nearly full house. We managed to get ourselves a seat, where towels are well prepared on it. The staff noticed our arrival and delivered us 3 bottles of chilled mineral water, which was a super plus point (we were quite far from Chapman Bar) The water supply is never a concern here, you may request for more if its not enough.
We spend a fun time in the crystal clear water. Breakfast was used up after some hard work of 'walking' in water (oh yeah ~ I can't swim) My mate still enjoyed his own sweet time floating like a corpse ~ We ended to have a late lunch at Chapman Bar. We switched our seats nearer to Chapman Bar after lunch where the staff served us with 3 bottles of chilled mineral water again. We were lazying on the chairs waiting for sunset. I admit that I actually fell asleep, who cares about getting tan ~
I will actually advise for coming over to Emerald Bay at the evening time where the sun is no longer that strong and sea level rises. Its even more fun to play in the water as the waves is getting stronger as well. My mate went down again for his favourite floating. Since there is no supply of Coke here, Pepsi and Ginger Ale also can la ~
Sunset at Emerald Bay is worth waiting for. We left after the sunset, with a car this time sending us straight to the lobby area. We went to room for a rest before 9pm dinner at Feast Village. We had half of the chocolate cake by resort before we went for dinner. Definitely, we can't ate too much and thankfully its a buffet style where we have the control of the portion.
It was a very peaceful holiday, we are recharged and really relax and have fun. I will miss the beautiful Emerald Bay for sure ~
