A Visit to Cherating
A Visit to Cherating During the school holidays, we were in high spirits when our parents informed us that we would be going to Cherating, a beautiful island on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. We went there by a chartered air-conditioned bus. We painted the town red at there. Cherating was situated in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It had a breathtaking, scenic and clean beach. There were many chalets and hotels which dotted the coast and they were surrounded by lush greenery. We stayed in Grand Continental Hotel which had the ideal facilities for family vacation. Cherating was a haven for an adventurous person like me. It had many activities for the tourist such as swimming, water sports, snorkeling and jet skiing. I tried everything and was over the moon to be able to go snorkeling. I was overjoyed to have this golden opportunity to discover the underwater world. I also used an underwater camera to capture amazing shots of the fishes and corals. Initially, I was petrified about going on the jet ski but the instructor gave me pointers to ensure I felt absolutely safe. At night, we had a barbecue under a myriad of sparkling stars at the beach. The food was scrumptious and mouthwatering. Many local and foreign tourists including me visited the world-renowned turtle sanctuary. I felt very disappointed because I didn’t see any turtles on the beach. After three wonderful days, we decided to call it a day and went home. Cherating was indeed a great place for a holiday vacation. I had fun during the children’s club party. I think my family and I will be visiting Cherating again.

    GRAND CAYMAN REMINDED ME OF THE CLASSIC SEA SIDE TOWN, LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE, WINDY SALTY SEA AIR, THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS A LIGHTHOUSE. IT WAS A VERY PEACEFUL FEELING THERE. I HAD BOOKED AN EXCURSION WITH A PLACE CALLED CAPTAIN RON’S AND WE WENT OUT BY BOAT FIRST STOPPING AT THE BARRIER REEF AND THEN ENDING THE DAY BY SWIMMING WITH STINGRAYS. AT THE REEF ONE OF OUR GUIDES WAS AN EXCELLENT FREE DIVER AND HE ASKED US ALL TO HOP INTO THE WATER WITH HIM AND ONCE WE DID HE TOLD US ABOUT A ‘FRIENDLY’ NURSE SHARK THAT LIVED IN THE AREA HE WAS HOPING WOULD STOP BY (THANK GOD SHE DIDN’T) AND AFTER ASKING US ALL TO PUT ON OUR SNORKEL GEAR HE DOVE DOWN ABOUT 20 FT AND COAXED A HUGE MORAY EEL OUT OF ITS DEN. IT WAS A GOOD 5 FT LONG AND VERY TEMPERMENTAL, IT SCARED ME TO BE REAL HONEST. ONCE DONE THERE WE WERE ON TO THE STINGRAYS. DID YOU KNOW THAT GRAND CAYMAN HAS THE ONLY HUMAN FRIENDLY POD OF STINGRAYS IN THE WORLD? WE FED THEM AND PET THEM AND THEY SWAM RIGHT UP AGAINST US. WE WERE TOLD THAT KISSING A RAY ON THE HEAD WAS 7 YEARS GOOD LUCK. I DID IT AND SO FAR I’TS BEEN 4 YEARS AND I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THAT MYTH. LOL. SO AFTER ANOTHER WHOLE DAY IN THE WATER WE WERE BACK ON THE SHIP AND HEADING FOR…

    In 1947 it was reported that over 40,000 Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were nesting along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and today only 200 Kemp Ridley’s remain on those grounds, making these sea turtles one of the most endangered animals in the United States. When I was younger I remember visiting South Padre Island and seeing holes a long the shore line with little eggs inside them, I also remember this man who drove up and down the beach looking for those eggs in a golf cart. I asked my mom “Why is this man taking away these eggs, won’t the momma be sad?” my mom then told me that these were in fact the eggs of the Kemp’s Ridley. I had no idea how that was relevant, I was six…

    Sea turtles have played critical roles in both ocean and beach/dune ecosystems for millennia. However, humans, both intentionally and unintentionally, have posed a major threat to the future sustainability of their species, especially in the last several decades. The Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is the world’s most endangered sea turtle, classified by the ICNU as critical endangered since 1996. ("Lepidochelys Kempii (Atlantic Ridley, Gulf Ridley, Kemp's Ridley, Mexican Ridley)”). The worldwide female nesting population is estimated at roughly just 1,000 individual turtles, their survival truly hangs precariously in the balance. While there are vast multitude of incidental threats to Kemp’s ridley turtles, artificial lighting, incidental capture in mass fishing, oil spills and…

    I can feel the white powdery sand between my toes, and smell the salty smell in the air as I stroll down Big Hickory Pointe. This is a path I take quite often; my destination being the portly old gopher tortoise. The tortoise has made his home at the end of the Pointe. I affectionately gave the tortoise the name “Tommy.” Often, I will bring Tommy carrots or lettuce for a snack. Today I am empty handed. As I reach the end of the Pointe, I notice cute little Tommy as he ducks back into his tunnel like burrow. I then start my walk back to my condo where I have my beach necessities set up close to the shoreline.…

    It was about five thirty when i got up. I wanted to go for a hike around the National park so I did. When i got back the time was about about 7:30 in the morning. When I was on my hike around the park I saw many signs telling me about endangered animals, some of the signs I read were about the loggerhead sea turtle, and the leather back sea turtle. The signs told me how the loggerhead sea turtle and the leather back sea turtle eggs are about the size and shape of a ping pong ball. This huge sign also told me that after the sea turtles egg hatch biologists excavate nest and record the number of unmatched and hatched eggs, and also live and dead turtles. So when I got back it was time for breakfast so i went and got breakfast i wanted to be done with it faster so I could go get started with another wonderful day. I was finished with my breakfast around nine thirty. I went back to my tent after breakfast and get ready to go snorkeling. The people who worked there told me that in some designated areas to go snorkeling around Fort Jefferson you see massive coral heads and reef life and some examples of reef life that I heard about are the parrot fish, angelfish, and the moray…

    Returning as a teenager never seemed like a lame family holiday. With all the returning friends I had made in years previous, the activities and fun seemed endless. Tubing became a sport to us. Lounging in the sun never seemed so relaxing – with the waves licking the shores and the breeze coming off the bay. I learned how to wakeboard at Lumina; the staff spent countless years helping me stand up on the wake, and never grew tired of my mistakes. Movies in the TV room, playing cards on the deck, eating junk food in the beautifully preserved cabins. All great memories.…
