My Holiday
I spent my holidays studying and playing at first but after that,on the 18th of december,me,my mother and one other person went on a 11-day trip to the philipines.We took a plane to Manila,and took a five and a half hour bus ride to the hotel.When we got to the hotel,it was about 12 o'clock,midnight.The next morning,we went to the airport and took an extremely small plane,about 10 seaters to a place called El Nido,where I did my Intro-Dive and went to many different places to snorkle while my mother and the other person went diving,we met a family who lives in south Florida.After all our snorkeling and diving activities,the dive master told us that we would at one of the many islands owned by the resort.During the ride to the island,the dive master told us that there has been a baby whale shark spotted near a boat that was also going for diving trip about a month ago.When we got back to the hotel,about an hour after we got back to the resort,me,my mother and the other person went kyaking to a lagoon.The lagoon a snorkling site.On our way back to the resort.We saw the camp site that the sweden "survival"was going to be held at.The next day we went on another dive trip.There was a dive site that I couldn't snorkle at because it was slightly too deep,about 20-30 metres,but my mother spotted a green sea turtle!When we were back at the hotel and not so tired anymore,I went with the other person to the house reef,home to the Jacks,Parrotfish,etc.The next day,it was time to leave and so we took a boat to a fishing kampong and from there we got on a 6 hour bus ride to Puerto Princessa.2 days later,we went to the airport,and waited for about an hour because the airport does not open till 1pm,while waiting we met 2 of the people who was in the 8 hour bus too.When we got in,we found out that our plane to coron was canceled due to shortage of people,but they did call or emails us at all(The airline name is:Ce Air),so the people we met during the bus ride asked if we would like to take the plane to Manila and take another plane to Coron the next day,we agreed to it since we have no other choice.At Manila,we stayed at the same hotel as we did when we first got to the Philipines.The next day,we finally got on a plane to coron.When we landed,we were accompanied Nora,a worker that stayed with us the entire time we were at the resort.On the first day,we were introduced to the rest of the workers and cooks.On the second day,my mother and the other person went dive trip while I stayed at the resort.On the third day,all three of us went on the dive trip.At the dive site,I met an 8 years old who had been staying at another island but still the same resort for 3 months and staying till the end of january.We went to two japanese wrecks to snorkle and dive.On the fourth day,we went on another dive trip and suprisingly,we went to another two japanese wrecks,but this time,me and the 8 years old kid wasn't allowed to go snokerling as it was about 30 meters.On the final day,we sadly had to leave.We took a plane back to Manila,but before entering the airport,we said goodbye to Nora.In Manila,we went to the Mega Mall,the world's third largest Mall and after that we took a 3 hour bus ride to the airport and headed back to singapore
