Yesterday Jason and I decided that we needed to get away from the tourist areas and go to somewhere more remote like an island. So we did some research and found that "The Kings Island" was a great place to in fact many peoples exact words were "Paradise". With this in mind we began searching for a ride to this island and just our luck a cargo boat was leaving last night at 9 P.M. and they were willing to take us on for a cheap price so we went for it.... Bad idea.
We were initially told that the boat ride was going to be 2 hours long and we thought that we were the only ones going to be riding on the boat. Which was the first communication error as the boat ride was really 6 hours long and we were crammed with 10 other people in what looked like a slave holding cell. Then what made it all worse was that it began storming so that combined with cramped living conditions equaled major sea sickness that I am just now getting over as I write this blog.
Now you would want to believe that this story would have happy ending of us finding the most beautiful Island getaway. But what really happened was that we got off the boat it was raining dark and not a single person was awake on the island. So we trekked around the entire island which took all of 30 minutes and found that this really was not a paradise like everyone said. With the new realization that there was no beach we ended up getting on another boat back to were we came from.
But alas we are back were we belong and are going to finish our trip off with a snorkeling provided by the much safer local dive shop.
So the moral of the story is that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
