Fireflies Viewing at Desaru

On our way to take the cruise to view fireflies, soon it will be very very dark.

These are the boats that we would take. Can you imagine about 40 people in one boat.
We need to put on life jackets. The life jackets seem so wear off. Some are without buckles and the zip dont work. I have to choose one with workable buckles but the zip dont worked at all. Looked so scary.

We need to wear walking shoes and not flip flops cause the stairs leading to the small jetty is so steep and dangerous. I am so scare of the stairs, it only have very small steps for us to step and most of the time it is very flat and steep.

Too bad I cant take photo of the fireflies in the dark, it is just too dark and my photo turned out all black...lol.

But it was fun, the fireflies looked like twinkling lights in the trees, just like christmas trees in the homes. There are so many of them.
If it rain, the whole fireflies viewing tour will be cancelled.

Up north in Maryland firefly season was always fun, and a sure sign that summer had "arrived." We don't have them down here in Florida.

Thank you for taking us on your tour! I am also scared of slippery gangways of boats. Thank you for your comment. When the war was over we had to leave Java and went to Singapore where we lived for 2 months in an English camp, which was good. Then we went to Holland.

wow! I like to go to places that has fireflies because they said that if a place is filled with it, it means the place still has a very good natural environment. the last time ive seen fireflies was when we were in capones island.

Sad that the fireflies could not be photographs. But they are simply amazing. Fireflies were a common insect in my childhood. I mean, we used to play with them.

OK. If you remember, you requested me to let you know when I post the answer to my "Funny Hoardings!!!" post. You may visit the post now. I have put the answers in the comments.

Thanks AliceSG :)

A fun trip, I would like to see the fireflies, pity they didn't show up on the film. We have glow worms but no fire flys.
