Pantai Batu Hitam

We went to Pantai Batu Hitam mainly to entertain Meen. To help her forget our old home cos she's been crying almost everyday. There weren't friends there except Ting Ting and Ching Ching next door.  She cried mainly because she missed Papa's cafe. Well, we missed those special times too.

We stumbled upon this beach on our way to Cherating.  This is closer to our house and on par with Cherating.  Cherating is just too overrated, but we loved it anyway. Hehehe...

At first I thought these were mud.

Upon closer look, they were actually sand grains.

Well, patience gains trust with this tiny little friend.

I had to hold still the shell for quite a long time with the camera in my right hand before the hermit crab showed itself.

A little bit longer, the crossed-eyed crab said hello to us.

A little bit closer.

While I was busy with the hermit crab, they were enjoying themselves and the 2 elder sisters were entertaining Meen.

Mr crab was no longer shy.

Another one of them.

Again, patience is the key.

She was also interested.

It's like putting two and two together.

They started greeting each other.

And another friend stopped by.

We were indeed intrigued by these crabs.

And we couldn't get enough of them.

And spent little time entertaining Meen, actually.

Hope that she didn't mind.
