Camping in San Juan Islands

Alright, and here is San Juan Island camping trip!!!

I just take so long to update... Argh... I so lazy... it's like my mind just refuse move!!! I'm bored and then, I just can't start my engine to do anything! Argh!!!

Okay, so the trip....

~~~~~~~~~~~~

15th August 2009, Saturday
We are going to camping!!! Woo hoo! And so, we woke up really early in the morning, around 6am, and got ready to set out to catch the ferry!!! 4 cars and 15 people off to camping!!!

As we wait for the ferry, we ran around, took photos and got some coffee!!!

In the car waiting...

And hmm... people doing different things in the car...

Forcing to smile!!! Aha aha... Hee...

And a super nice view outside!

Checking out Tomo's car!

Queuing up for coffee!!!

And we got our tasty coffee!!! Yum!!

Up onto the passenger deck of the ferry! Great view!!

I just had to take a photo of myself!

And that's the ferry I'm on!

Exploring the upper deck!

I'm still exploring around!!

And had to put myself in the photo as I pass by!

And, take a photo for them!

Here I am, right outside... Alone!!!

Okay, and found the other gang!

And I have to stick my head in one of the photo too!!!

Okay, out to the decks again! Cold and it's really cool!!!

Muahaha!!! Stole a cap and sunglasses!

Okay, and that's the ferry trip to Friday Harbor! So, the first thing that we did is visiting the petrol station and meeting up! And, off to brunch!

Walk around for quite a bit... Argh... it's Sat, so, most places are closed!!! But finally, we found a place to eat!!

As we waited for our food...

Yawning and sleepy faces from the birthday boys!!

And posing for the camera!!

I don't remember how, but our conversation turn out to be face exercise. Cause Jewl told me about the face exercise in the magazine to have a sharper looking face, and kinda chat about how Japanese girls do that every morning. And so, we have our own version of face exercise!

Breathing in and out through ur mouth

Some eye exercises!

Okay, and back to a normal photo.

Up next, it's the whale museum!!!

Tada! It looks just like a usual two storey house!

Look at the skull!!

That's map for the whales appearing around the islands!

And into the museum on the 2nd level!

Muahaha! Stolen these photos of the museum from others!!

Yet, another stolen photo! Well, here, we can see the preserved brains of the whale and human!

And the whole gang loitering around outside the whale museum!

And still hanging around!

Then, we split up!!! Some of us went whale watching while the others went biking!!! As most people know, I can't ride a bike, so, I went whale watching!!!

This is boat that we took for the whale watching trip!

Me with the stolen sunglasses!

A classic photo of a lighthouse!

Acting out the romantic Titanic scene! Woo!!!

A normal photo on the boat!

And finally!!! There it is!!!

See the fin???

Cool eh? But too bad there are sea rules, so the boat can't go any nearer to the whales! But's it's quite a long trip! Almost 4 hours? But it's pretty cool!

And we saw jelly fishes at the dock!

So, after the whale watching, it's off to the camp site to set up the camp!!

Here we are fixing up the tent!

One of the tent. We had 4 camp sites!!

And so we set up to buy more firewood and ice. I ended up not bathing because it's expensive for me, it's charged by minutes!!

So, most of the group went off to grab dinner at a resturant while the rest of us set up camp fire and ate some BBQ food!!! Yeah!!!

random shot at the camp fire

the cooking salmon! Hmm...

Another random photo!

After the camp fire, went star gazing!!! It's the first time ever for me to even see so many stars up in the sky. And, there I saw around 4 shooting stars!!!! Woo!!!

Off to our tents to sleep....

16th August 2009, Sunday
Okay, it's kinda like a lazy Sunday... It's a good thing that I don't drive, so, I kept sleeping and sleeping... We took a ferry from San Juan to Orcas Island. Then, we got our brunch again... And off to picnic at the lake!

This is lake!

After we had our food, we went to rent some boats to ride on! There's row boat and paddle boats for rent!

One of the birdnests at the hut renting out boats!

And so, off we go paddling or rowing!!

Took this really random shot while paddling!

Didn't really know where the row boat went though, so I didn't have any photos of them... Argh...

And after returning the boat, we are off to doing our own stuff again!

Boys having fun in the water!

And I went hiking with my sandals... Luckily, it's a pretty easy hike! Phew!!! And it's pretty!!!

Here's a cool looking tree sticking all the way out!
Walked on it for a bit, and turned back after a while...

And here's a great view!!! Kinda looks fake...

See? when I'm in the photo, the background just looks fake!!!

Okay, after that, we all head to the harbor to catch the ferry so that we could get our dinner on the main lands... but it's a Sunday, so, the ferry is too full! So, we had to wait 4 hours for the next one... At least we are in queue... So, we had our dinner on the island. It's so hard to just find food! Cause it's closed everywhere! But luckily, one of the cafe decided to serve us even though they are closed!!!

Alright, after dinner, back to the waiting, up the ferry and I just slept for the whole trip back.

And that ends this entry!
