If you missed reading about how we spent our Day 1, click here.
We had buffet breakfast at Taming Sari Cafe, nothing worth raving about the buffet spread but the beach view we had while filling our tummies is spectacular. As usual, the boy who was already wearing his swimsuit (ever-ready G, haha) rushed us while eating so that he can start having water fun.
See? He was the earliest bird in the swimming pool! Haha!
He was later joined by the equally water loving K and the hubby (not in photo). Since it was Father's Day, I excused myself and left the kids to have great bonding time with their dad.
The trail is so inviting that I decided to just continue my exploration, with or without monkeys.
I quickly made a U turn and fetch the kids and the hubby. "Mama found something really interesting, you have to see it for yourselves!", I exclaimed to pique the kids' interest and get them out of the pool. Haha.
As soon as we arrived at the seashore, the kids couldn't stop digging for treasures, literally and metaphorically.
We found "Nemo" and a few of his friends (tiny fishes), a sea cucumber, baby crabs, lots of interesting corals, seaweeds and more. The kids practically went wild being surrounded by nature love.
When it was time to go, G refused to leave and K was already sun-burnt. The sun block lotion I put on them didn't help much.
To cool down ourselves, we went for another round of pool time...
and spent a relaxing time at the hammock.
I wanted to do one last DIY photoshoot but we ran out of time and the spot I covet was already taken. Haha.
We tried doing our traditional photo taking in our room before checking out. We set the camera in burst mode and G was so ready to "photobomb" (he calls the continuous shooting of the camera with us posing nonstop *notice his and hubby's hands* photobombing, LOL) when the camera battery died. Imagine his disappointment.
While waiting for shuttle service to bring us to Nongsapura Ferry Terminal, hubby ordered lunch and we had it at the lobby of the resort. Shortly after, the shuttle service arrived and we boarded swiftly. I asked G to say bye bye to Turi Beach on our way out. He hesitantly did so and said in a sad, sad voice, "Mama, i will miss Turi Beach", to which all the other guests in the shuttle bus heard and was so amused with him.
Thank you for the beautiful memories, NongsaPura! We will definitely be back for more. It's been more than a month since we went there but up to this day, the kids wouldn't stop requesting us to bring them back to Turi Beach. What a well-spent Father's Day weekend! More adventures to come...
Haha, G is so cute and funny, looking at the picture of him waiting and very eager to swim and the first one at the pool is very funny, glad you found a tidepool for them to explore Che, glad they had so mych fun
