Our Long Weekend Trip...

Okay, a bit "watt tatt" but still had diarrhoea on Friday morning. H said "think we should just stay at home". Of course I said NO lah... ngeh-ngeh-lai also want to keep to the plan. I have to admit that I was a bit scared on the way there...just in case I needed the toilet and there's a jam. Then die lah. Although we were caught in a little jam, my belly behaved well until we reached the hotel about 3 hours later (normally 2 hours only)... AIYO, then I started to visit the toilet very frequently and then had the chills. ALAMAK Fever some more. What to do?? Slept lah. Felt sooooo much better after the little nap. Then, we took boys to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, World's End.... quite interesting but some parts I don't really understand lah. A bit sad lor the ending I thought... Donwan to say too much in case you haven't watched!

Took boys to the nearby volcano on Saturday morning. Prior to this, boys were asking "What if the volcano erupt? Will we die? etc etc"

The pix here shows the main crater, called Queen's Crater. You can actually hear the sulphurous gas HISSING out from the ground. Think the last eruption was in 1969. YUP! This is a still active volcano. We then hired a guide to take us down to the Domas Crater on the side of the mountain. Hike took us 30 minutes downhill. Luckily, we didn't have to climb all the way up to our starting point. Otherwise sure MATI lah..

Loads of water sprouting out of the ground in the Domas Crater. Of course the water is MEGA hot. See the basket of eggs in there? We bought some eggs to boil in the hot water too. But didn't eat them lah...coz H said cracked liow and water has gone into the eggs. There were many Korean tourists sitting around one of the NOT so hot pools, soaking their feet, sipping their COLD beers and eating the hard boiled eggs that were freshly cooked in the hot pools!!

It started to drizzle as we reached our car... and then pour!!! What a bummer!! Had to cancel the rest of the excursion, i.e. to the Hot Springs and StrawberryFarm, and head back to the hotel. What did we do? Sleep lah... after the long hike, what do you expect??

Woke up refreshed. Left the boys with H, and I headed out on my own to do some shopping. This place is Factory Outlets galore!!! But didn't buy much lah...just bought a cute little jewellery stand, some scrapbooking stuff and a Nike Shorts...

Next day, we left immediately after breakfast to avoid the MAD rush back to the city...
