apni jei beachtar kotha bolchen... with green trees... amra probably odiktae gesilam.. ota chherra dip r sent-marteens er end point hote pare.. thhik hishab korle...
But... amra jedin eshe pouchhalam.. sheidin rest-test niye ber howe odikei hata disilam... where its not a straight beech. We reached tht place where the island moves left.. it was sunset.. amazing scenes!! ...we had som pix there... but its really too baD! ...I don hav scanners.. ri8 now. I\'ll upload thm here as soon as I scan thm. Amra oi green treer jaegata pass korte parinai..shei shondhyae.. it was dark. and we\'re tired. And... we\'rent absolutely certain ab the tide situation afterwards... thts why probly we din take ne risk.. so oi ghora jaegatae... where there are stones as far as i can remmber.. we spent som time.. had som light tea... (eto joghono cha jibone khaina... shathe Moshar osojhho kamorr!!).... we cunt capture ne more pix... as the light was allready down..tht time .
But.... apnara to pura deep chokkor disen , na?? .....so was it 1 way???...or u had to reverse ur direction??.... wht time might it take to walk around the whole island??? ....apnara chherra deep e jawar shomoy paaani par hoite hoenai??? ..how much was it?
But....
Ami chera dip e jai ni.. chera dip bhata er shomoy st. martin theke hetei jawa jaay.. amader jabar shomoy joar chilo.. so basically we reached the end point of st martin and then field er moddhe diye cross kore right er opposite end e pouchaisi..
Ekta example dei tahole bujhte subidha hobe.. st martin er shape onekta tomar paa er moto.. so tumi ghat theke baa dike hata shuru korle tomar big toe ta hobe st martin er shesh point.. tarpor arektu gele chera dip.. so big toe te pouche amra daan dike diye cross kore kone angul e pouchalam aar ki.. and oi beach ta okhane.. tarpor abar baaki rasta neme puro gorali te pouchano jekhane amader hotel..
As i said, manager er version onujayi dip ta about 11-12 km to encircle.. so tomader hatar speed er upor depend korbe kotokkhon lagbe..ami oi beach e sunset dekhar por firte raat 9 ta beje giyechilo..
Moshar kamor tar kotha bhalo bolso.. ato batash er moddheo mosha kamray seta aage bujhi nai.. and kamor er shonge joluni ta bhoyonkor..aar ekta jinish mone rekho.. puro ghure aste gele raat hobei and st.martin er law and order khub ekta bhalo na oi unpopulated side gulo te..so bhoy lagbe must.. and onek nouka beach e tola thake and nongor er dori te achar khabar chance puropuri.. amader besh koyekjon kheyechilo.. lol.. and chorabali ache kina jani na.. amra sei bhoye aaro aste aste hatchilam cuz jate shamner jon porleo baaki ra beche jaay..aar akash dekhte dekhte hatle to kothai nai.. besh koyekbar amon hoise je ami shobar pichone pore gechi cuz ami tara dekhchi..aar haate bishal duto probal er tukro chilo.. gf er jonno ekta and bon er jonno ekta.. oi weight tao bhoyonkor chilo..
But you know something? It was worth it..shonge meye thakle id suggest ektu beshi careful howa..arekta bepar.. i know seatruck is the popular mode of travel there but amra speedboat e kore giyechilam.. and firechilam seatruck e.. it cost us about 170 taka per person for going and coming back.. we had a bit of luck going with some other ppl also trying to go and so got the beat but trust me going there in a speedboat rocks..
Wonderful Post Asif bhai! ....Lotz of infos... surely gonaa halp a lot when I\'ll b there again! ...though I din get the map perfectly.. still a good enough picture has set in my menorry ab the end point n all... but if we start at very early in the morning lik 5/6 ...can we come back b4 dark...?? but... yah! the tide conditions r a big matter....n is a big obstackle to our timings..
That sounds more adventurous though..
however, apnara speed boat e gesilen..??! ....God!!!! .....tht must hav rocked.. amra traller e gesilam ekbar. The 1st time me n dad approached ...we missd the sea-track bcz of unawareness ab the timings.. we had to take the traller..to reach sent-marteens within tht day. and...That WAS Som Xperience!!!!!!!
Naff nodi..r duurer barma dekhte dekhte jawa pojonto to shob thhik chilo.. tokhono ki jantam after crossing the barma area What was waitin for us..!.. ??..! tht was nothin but a night-mare.. n out of the world..xperience!!...with the big Tides attacking our traller frm all the directions... czd HUGE Bumpings.. I just cant Remember tht feelings.. Protita muhurto jano Mrityur shathe loray korte hoise.. and atlast we reached the island in evening...after sunset n probly... bcz of the timing... we had to suffer tht much.. horryfying bumpings.. ! But... Hell!! Id like to hav tht xperience once more with som other ppl. ...amar kachh theke ei kahini shonar por porer bar r amar frnd der traller e nite parinai... let alone Speed-boat.. ... paagole paise!??
But.... the sea-track is too boaring...!!!
dhuurr!
Speedboat e giyechilam cuz we also missed the seatruck.. amar bolod friends gulo amar barbar bolar poro nasta korte deri koray we missed it.. tarpor ami thik korechilam eka ekai traller e jabo but they took me there and we got the speedboat..dont worry about the map.. next jabar aage make sure you meet me and id draw a map for you jeta dekhle aar kono probs thakbe na..
