Welcome my dear Steemian friends to my another episode of Saint Martin Island
In the morning at 6 A.M, we started our journey for Teknaf to go to Saint Martin’s Island. As we had our own car it was easier for us to move any place and take a break anywhere. We reached to our ship before the time and our seats in the ship were in an open place, from where we can enjoy the beauty of the sea and the breeze. Our voyage was the last voyage of this season. So if somehow we miss this ship there was no way to coming back. On the way to Saint Martin’s Island, we crossed the border of Myanmar passed on the left-hand side. In the middle of the sea, you can’t differentiate the sky and the water. You will see the warm blue ocean united with the blue sky as far as you can see. This Island is the only Coral Island of our country so it was more exciting to be there. The Sea was calm and we reached there safely without any hazard.
We had only 3 hours to explore as we have to take the same ship to get back to Teknaf. We hired some vehicles to and they took us to some different beaches. First one was covered with sand but no coral visible there as it was ebb time. That beach was totally blue is color and more beautiful with its waves and sounds. Near this beach, we went to a special place “ Humayun Ahmed’s SHOMUDRO BILASH” though it was closed you can imagine this great man’s thinking as he had made this house only to watch sea in the full moon. We gossiped with local people and found some kids sitting with some Corals in the lowest price. One thing surprised me about their lifestyle, no one begged for once rather they prefer selling something. 3 or 4 kids were sitting with some corals and snails, we bought from them to help them. Those kids were offering their corals with a smiling and requested appeal and we can’t deny them.
We visited two more beaches and found the coral beach at last. One of the local people said it is tide going on otherwise you could see many corals in the sea. While gossiping with the driver, he said there was no flood in that place and the base of the whole island is coral. At that moment I wished to stay there for 1 day to see the real beauty of corals. But we had a great time there and had our lunch in the local hotel. We left Saint Martin’s at sharp 3.00 PM as it was the last voyage the ship was full of passengers that time.
