Just Blog!: Trip coverage: Sematan

As promised, i have managed to squeez some time out to update you with my trip to sematan( nehh the one where i got bitten by alot of sand flies wan...remember?)
went to sematan over the weekends with my colleagues, still the same people who went to the santubong trip, wonder why it's the same 6 of us all the time, other people in the office are just not interested in the trips that we organised.
Initially we were suppose to have snorkelling around Talang Talang island, but unfortunately the people at the resort say that the water is murky and you won't be able to see anything, so cannot go lo........@#$@##$%@ eternal damnation to the murky water, i was really looking foward to the snorkelling. As such, our activities were limited to only the beach of sematan.
Sematan is about 1.5 hours aways from kuching, depending on how fast you drive, i managed to reach there in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
This place is getting more popular, and seems like real competition to damai resort. The beach is generally nicer but the downside is its freaking far away, you can get to damai in under an hour.
This is the 2nd time i've been here and i kinda like it, except for it's sand flies of course!
we started our journey around 10 in the morning, seb picked the rest of us up and we had our brunch before we set off. Reach sematan town at about 1.30 in the afternoon, bought ourselves crabs and lobster in sematan market for the night's BBQ....yum yum
Well it's the usual few things to do at the beach and we pretty much did it all.

1.dig a hole and bury someone----check
2.kick the ball around the beach---check
3.build sand castle/pyramid or watever you call it---check
4.go kayak---check
5.swim in the sea and try sit on the waves---check
6.catch crab---check
7.collect sea shells---check
8.BBQ---check

yup, we did it all....well it's a good get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and a good rest from the "busy" life in the office.
Don't know where to go next, planning on to K.K, but it's too early to say, who knows i might not even be in kuching anymore.
Well sematan is a good place to go, i'd recommend it.
