From my camera phone:
(I didn't bother to bring my camera because my friend warned me that there was a high chance that I would capsize and to risk my camera? No way.)
We were really lucky. It was such a nice day for kayaking despite it being winter. The sun was out and the sea was so blue and crystal clear!
From my friend's camera:
Posey-posey before kayaking! I swear I had like 3 layers of clothing and when I had to put on the life jacket and that black flappy thing, I felt like an onion. Because like Shrek says, "Layers! Ogres have layers!" Not that I'm saying I'm an ogre because....that wouldn't be right.
I'm famous for my motion sickness. I just can't be on anything that moves without getting sick. Now, I didn't know sea-kayaking is one of them. I had to keep on rowing because if I stopped, I would feel like barfing. It did not help that my kayak partner was seasick too!!!
We were both VERRRY tired at this point. Just look at Alia's face. Our big mistake was that we didn't have proper breakfast and practically just jumped into it.
I'm telling you. The situation was not all sparkly and happy. One of the rare moments that you'd see Alia nauseous in the picture. Because in other pictures, we were too busy posing.
The water is so clear that you can really see the sea floor. It is literally like a field of grass down there, only underwater.
Got gaya or not? I'm telling you. New Zealand really changed me. I'm not much of a nature girl to begin with but that's what this country has done to me.
Also who knew I have the skills for kayaking!! I was so surprised at how good I am at manoeuvring the thing. I guess if you continuously put yourself out there, you'll be surprised at what you're really capable of!! Cheers to that!
PS: I'm at the last leg of my assignments round this week! I'm working on my last essay right now and it is tough! I'll just have to stick with it to the end!! Wish me luck!
PSS: Also it's two weeks till finals! YIKES!
