Thursday morning Maisy and I went out on Survey to PIR, we were planning
on shooting some more video of tourist interaction as well. We both hadn't
slept very well and the kayak over there was tough. We did however see 7
turtles when over there which was cool and managed to get some nice turtle
footage. While over there we saw Connor and his girlfriend they were with Abang
Sabri our neighbour as Connor's girlfriend wanted to get some turtle pictures.
After Survey, Dan was back at the house with the volunteers and I took them for
lunch. Wid was due to visit with shopping tomorrow but we were off to Tiga
Ruang tonight so I went out to get some Bread, Carrots, onions, eggs and
apples. After this I walked to Alunan to check my parents booking was all good
which it was. On my way back I saw a bird trap net just off the path which
angered me, I was going to take it down but I didn’t have anything to cut it
with. Once back I got ready for Tiga Ruang. Just as we were leaving it started
to rain so I put my bags into a big bin bag to try and keep them dry. Once at
Tiga Ruang we set up camp most tourists had left probably cause of the rain.
Maisy cooked us dinner while I finished unpacking the stuff. I agreed to do the
early shift as Maisy said she couldn't sleep so she would do the late shift.
Maisy was talking to me about my visa run and was talking about how she was 2
days over and was lucky to be allowed back in which made me wonder and count my
days. I had asked the travel agent to fit me in before the 90 days so assumed
my flight was fine. Turns out it wasn't I would have also been two days over.
There wasn't a lot i could do about it at Tiga Ruang so planned to go back to the
village the next day. I watched two movies during my shift and there were no
turtles, fisheries didn't turn up so there were no hatchlings to release, I
think we are getting to the last few nests as well. The next morning we made
breakfast and I went to chill in the hammock for a bit, before having a swim
followed by a sunbathe. After my swim I went back to the hammock, I had just
put another film on when Maisy came up to me and said there was a snake in the
kitchen. I thought it was going to be another vine snake but it wasn't it was a
1m-1.5m wolf snake. It had got itself underneath the hob and had its tail
sticking out one end and its head out the other. It was a really cool but a
pain to get out our kitchen, eventually I got the Broom and helped it onto the
tree outside the kitchen. I then went for a shower, when I got back I was just
getting changed when I saw this tail behind the bed I pulled the bed and the
snake was in our hut. I grabbed Maisy and used the Broom again to eventually
move the snake out of the hut. Luckily Joju was late as I was due back at the
village at 3pm and only just got the snake out.
Snake Pictures will be added
I got picked up and immediately
looked at options to fix visa problem. We talked about a few options but
eventually went for a trip to the Thai border to get a fresh visa stamp. Then
come back to Kota Bharu stay 3 nights in Kota Bharu then get the normal flight.
As I needed to confirm with Wid that her taxi friend could take me I asked Dan
to go to Tiga Ruang for me and I stay in the village tonight. He was fine with
that, it did mean I had to go to Malay dinner but that was fine as it was at Kah
Dahs. We went and she fed us well, she asked when I go Singapore and o told her
meet week she said you bring my t-shirt as last time I saw her I said is a
would. She also asked about parents coming told island and having Malay dinner
with her. After dinner I booked a room in Kota Bharu for 3 nights for 93RM
hopefully taxi to the airport is cheap. They moved my flight to 10am from 6:45
am so have more time in the morning luckily.
