What a Ride?
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006The boat ride back was not smooth as the waves was rough.The whole boat was swinging right to left. It was an experince for me.There is a lot of ppl in the boat puke. I was abt to puke also, as I quickly eat 1 tablet of travelling sickness medicine.The medicine only works 30 mins later. Imagine having to smell peoples’s puke and the sound of it.LuckiIy enough there is an air refreshener that sprays every 1 hour.I too, have to restrain myself frm puking before that. The whole jouney was unpleasant added by the delay of the arrival time at the port. We took the 2.30pm ride and I estimated that we will reach around 5.30 pm. Then one of the crew inform us that one of the engine is down, and we will only reach the port at 7pm. My goodness!!!!I’m aready going to be seasick and I have to endure until 7pm.
Luckily enough,the last 1 hour before reaching the Penang port, we could already see Penang island.The surrounding water around Penang was calm, no wonder Penang was one of the ‘pusat perdagangan’ in history.
The next time if I had extra cash,I will choose to travel by plane.If not I will check the weather report first.
