On Friday, we set of for KK quite early so that I could get some photos of KK, save them to CD and get some grub to take to Manukan for our 'big weekend'. All 8 of us met at the port and managed to blag ourselves onto a cheap boat to the island. On arrival, we discovered that there had been a c*** up with our booking. We had booked 2 challets, but our booking was lost and the only chalets available were on separate sides of the island and we wanted to all spend t...

Sunday. Up mega early to meet the tour group at 7am to head off to Mantanani island. Once in the mini bus, the guide told us we had a pretty good chance of seeing dolphins on the way to the island and while we were snorkeling, we'd see turtles and the Dugong (sea cow), which is why we paid so much to go on this trip.
