long weekend cos mon is labour day here... yippie! no work! went with the gals to Acadia National Park... woke up super early... left at 5++ am... the drive there was about 4-5 hours... as usual.. being the passenger.. i slept most of the journey... except the occasional chit chat and toilet breaks...
reached at about 11++ i think... wanted to check in to the hostel... but the check in time starts at 5pm.. -.- and the hostel is like a house only lor.. rm super small with 5 bunk beds... ok la.. this is wat u get for paying just $25... still think Aust's YHA provides better housing for $25...
we decided to go check out whale and puffin watching.. but the rates is super ex lor.. $49.. so we decided to try somewhere cheaper next time.. maybe like Newbury or something... in the end we went for a scenic drive... great view.. trees.. rocks... lakes...
At Frenchman Bay...
At the summit of Mt Cadillac...
At Sand Beach...
At Thunderhole...
While walking along the trail at Otter's Creek... we came across this.. an artistic piece of work... which only me and Rachel had the depth to visualise it and appreciate its natural form.. tag and tell me wat u think it looks like... haha...
after checking in to our hostel... and painstakingly making our beds with bedsheet tat doesn't fit... -.- we went for a seafood dinner... ex... -.- then walked around the shops in downtown bar harbor... temp was freezing... bbrrrr... reached back hostel at about 11+.. to find tat there is to be no showering after 10pm... -.- fine.. went straight off to bed after brushing teeth...
the rest of the gals woke up at 3am to go to the summit to see the sun rise.. no one called me.. so i continued to sleep till some ang moh ah soh started packing her stuff and make so much noise with the plastic bags.. irritating... -.- had to check out at 10am... so after brushing teeth.. we set off again for breakfast.. the place we ate at was pretty American... those with pple eating at the counter types.. but we took the upstairs seats... and had the standard American breakfast.. 2 sunny side up... a sausage... cubed potatoes... and 2 pancake... plus my orange juice.. ooo.. i like such breakfast... and no i don think i eat a lot.. don make me sound like a dinosaur... -.- ok ok.. maybe i eat a little more than the rest... cos we ordered 3 sets of the above mentioned.. and 2 sets are shared by 4 of them and i took 1 of the set myself... =p
after breakfast... went for our trek of the day.. took a trail up to the top at a place called bubble rock... it's a rock at the edge of the cliff... diao there...
then after that... followed the trail down and branch off into another trail... which led us to the trail tat has a higher level of difficulty... cos it was all climbing rocks all the way down the mountain to the lake...
as we near the lake we could hear the water... but could see nothing... finally when we reach the lake.. the climb was all worth it.. view was magnificent... SM says it's trips like this tat push her to work hard cos must earn more money then can go more places.. hahaha...
then we followed the circumference of the lake to an exit point where we walked along the road to where our car was parked... and by tat time it was already 4+ and it's time to head back home...
the boys were very guai while i was away... they help me vacumn my rm... washed my bed sheets and even rem to wash my socks and towel this time! hahaha... very good... full marks... they went grocery shopping too and cooked tom yam soup... nice home cooked tom yam soup when i came home starved at about 10+... aww... so sweet... it's nice to be home...
oh man... just now 2 of them cut hair for each other... super funny... told them i cut for them already... see la.. now the hair look so gong gong...
