Christmas Island

Year 1997 July, I stayed  6 days at Christmas Island with my hubby. We booked through CTC travel agent. I remembered we booked from a lady, she provided us a very good service, she looked like Chinese and English, I believe she is under mixed-blood group, of course, she is a beautiful woman.

We took about two hours direct flight, from Singapore to Christmas island. 

This is the five stars resort we stayed. Looked at this Giant Dinosaurs, it located near to our resort and ocean. The island only stayed about one thousand people during that time.

Our resort near to the cliff, about six stories high. Therefore, we could hear the loud heavy wave hit on the cliff  sound, which also can felt this moment from this dinosaurs, once the wave hit, the sound from the hitting wave passed through this dinosaur, the picture shown the position I stand 

could feel the strong "wind" and Dinosaur "roar" (come from the hitting wave sound).

We were fishing at the cliff. My hubby caught a big fish but cannot reel up because the cliff is too high. The staff came to help, brought a "metal clip", looked like 武侠小说的"血嘀子“，let go the "metal clip" to the bottom intended to clip the fish up, but the fish struggled too long already, the line break.

We rent the 4 wheels Toyota car from a Chinese shop. They came from Malaysia. The couple was on middle age, stayed with their two teenage children, one girl and one boy. The boy was working at the resort as a porter. 

The couple also like fishing. They asked us to join them fishing at the cliff,, they used the rode to tide on their body for safety. I and my hubby felt that too dangerous, because  the wave is very strong, once caught the fish, not only you need the skill to fight the strong fish, also need to be very careful of the strong wave.

The town was very quiet, everyday we drove the car on the road, we met the same faces, when we saw the car passed by, the drivers would wave hand to greet us. We also wave hand to them.

This is the most fantastic place I went! "BLOW HOLE ". The hitting wave can be about 3 to 6 stories high, we get wet. 

We went there a few times, we didn't see anybody. Now I think over, we were too adventure to visit this place. During that time, we didn't carry any hand phone, because we don't have hand phones. We only had a paper map for directions, we drove quite a long distance away from the town, passed by a forest with muddy road to reach this place. 

Behind me is a cave, inside got sea water, nobody was there, nobody come this place because quite isolated. My hubby went to the cave for fishing. I was not going with him because I don't feel like going in, I sat outside the cave alone waited for him and used the stick to play with the red crabs crawling around on the ground for 打发时间。Nobody was there, only both of us. Very quiet, only can hear the forest insect sound.

I can't remembered how long he stayed in the cave, I think not long, then, I saw him rushy came out from the cave and asked to leave.

He told me he heard someone talking in the cave but he couldn't see anyone. Oh! no wander I got the feeling not going in the cave.

This is Lily Beach. The shore are fulled of dead corals.

Forever I remembered this picture, this is the picture we took just arrive the beach.

While I was standing there to let my hubby took picture, suddenly, the big wave behind me!

My hubby kept shouted at me: "COME BACK! COME BACK!" and kept waving his hand strongly. I quickly ran out of the beach and turned back! WOW! such a big wave coming suddenly! Luckily I ran very fast, when the wave reached me, only my pant got wet.
