First, there was packing to do. Craig helped by trying on his cap.
After an omelette breakfast at the breakfast shop nearest to home, Craig was ready to go.
So it was off to the MRT station.
After an hour and a half of traveling Craig was very happy to have arrived at the hotel. Uncle Amitha and Aunty Bess stayed in this same room but it seemed to have been renovated since then.
Within minutes of arriving Craig was on the beach.
Craig's parents rented a little tent-like arrangement that was right near the water.
Craig sat with his Mum enjoying the view for a few minutes.
And then it was time to hit the water.
Craig's Dad was a bit sneaky. While Craig played happily, Craig's Dad kept digging sand out from right in front of the boy. Inch-by-inch Craig slid into the hole that stayed pleasingly full of water.
It was a very warm day and the water temperature was pleasantly cool. Craig's Dad was surprised at how many people wanted to take Craig's picture or sit beside him and have their picture taken. He really should be famous by now.
After an hour or so, Craig's toes were very wrinkled so his Mum took him back to the safety of their tent. Very soon, three bigger boys came to play in Craig's private swimming pool.
Craig hung out in the tent while his Dad tried to nap.
But then, a man in the next tent offered junk food to Craig! He very happily accepted. The man was very generous and so long as Craig kept eating, the man kept supplying snacks.
Then, Craig began to throw sand! The man and his friends reacted by piling sand up on top of Craig's legs. He liked it at first.
But soon he couldn't move his legs and that made things a bit scary.
The men were very nice and pulled him out straight away. So, what better way to wash off the sand than to get back into his private swimming pool under the watchful eye of Mum.
