Proven once again, enthusiasm can change the weather! Our stargazing outing went ahead without rain! And it was a wonderful feeling sleeping under the night sky with the exceptions of sand flies chewing on your flesh every few minutes. Definitely a lifetime experience. Would definitely want to go back to Semakau again, but next outing would most probably be the intertidal walk.
Don't have much photos to share as it's total darkness most of the time. But as day break arrives, the sky light was beautiful. Kinda reminded me of the tv-series X-file with the "I Want To Believe" poster. Plus, it was really peaceful looking out into the sea, with fishes jumping, and boats sailing by. I was awake through out the night enjoying the view.
Yes! It was a worthwhile trip. Our patience and optimistic moved the clouds and let us see the stars :)
ReplyDeleteso how many stars you guys able to see?
ReplyDelete:) It pays to be an optimist!
ReplyDeleteHi BC, we managed to see quite a lot of stars and constellation like Mars, Orian, Sirius, Rigel, Aldebaran, Pleiades, Epidanus. Around the early morning we also saw the Dipper, which was all very very cool!

Our trip to Semakau was only S$7 per person :D
ReplyDeleteNot sure how to get to south island, I've never been there myself. But thanks for the link given!
The trip I'm planning to Pulau Hantu cost about S$50 per person for a half day excursion. I think it's from West Coast Pier. Haven't got time to really check it out yet. Pls visit again in near future for updates.
