Anyway, I shared some of my feelings and experiences with everyone.

#Saint_Martin:
If you want to go to Saint Martin, you have to go to Teknaf first. From there by ship to Saint Martin. It took us two and a half hours to go to Teknaf from Cox's Bazar. But the first time I went to St. Martin the experience was very bad. When I left the hotel from Cox's Bazar, the hotel manager said, you will get a bus from the bus stand, it will drop you in 2.30 hours. We got on the seating service according to his words, but after some time, we looked at the map and saw that the distance is about 2 hours. Seeing the bad situation, we ask the driver if we can catch a sip. He said you can't because they live locally, they will go slowly. Among them, many Rohingyas live in Teknaf at that time, and because of that, army buses are seen patrolling from time to time.

As the Rohingyas are there, getting into the car, we were afraid. Sheep's time was 9.30. When we saw that 30 minutes were left but it would take 1 hour to go by all these buses, we quickly got down and got into a CNG, saying, we have to take you in 30 minutes. He said, he will try his best, we also went up. We went down at 9.33. I saw a sheep manager going, we said we didn't buy tickets, we have to go and we are late. He said, I will give you the ticket, you get up. When we boarded the ship, all of our crews became interested and we said with a deep breath, finally we are going. 2-3 launches run on this route, all the other sheep, the condition of some sheep was not very good.

In ship

There is a problem after boarding the launch, another person will sit in your seat and claim it is his seat. Or you are sitting in your seat, another person will come and say it is his seat. Be prepared for such a situation. But honestly, in these two and half hours. Very few people sit on the seat all the time. Almost everyone enjoys the sea by leaning on the railing of the e-launch. And you will see flocks of sea-gulls next to you. They perfectly catch and eat the chips thrown by people. And this food craving is from Teknaf. Saint Martin, they will be by your side the whole way. If you want to see them better, go to the back of the launch. Hope to see that view.

Come to St. Martin jetty and wait for a while to disembark. It creates a bad situation because everyone wants to disembark at once. So I think it is better to wait a little while when the launch is empty and then get out. We are doing this while going back and forth. The funny part. There is a herd of humanoid hyenas at the jetty. They take advantage of your ignorance and give you a huge bamboo. They are van drivers. They ask for 300 taka for a 5 minute road, just a 5 minute walk. We were stupid at first, telling them up to 200. The van driver did not agree to that, then we started walking, and after walking for about 10 minutes we found the beach-view resort which is located on the west beach.

Resort

Our target was to stay close to the beach so that we can get the beach air sitting in the room, by the grace of Allah we got it. And the rent was not too much, we said, one of us told the name of your hotel, that's why we came. After listening to the reference, they gave us a room for 1200 taka right in front of the beach from where we can easily get the beach air. The service was not bad, there was 24-hour electricity and there was a food shop in front of the hotel and in front of it the beautiful Saint Martin.

Inani Beach, Cox's Bazar Beach, St. Martin's Beach and the beach of Chera Dwip, St. Martin is the best among these 4 places. You will be scared when you see the shape of the sea during the tide. How terrible the sea became, cannot be expressed in words. We were sitting on the seashore eating fried fish just before the tide came in. Huge waves were coming and soaking our feet. And a huge silver moon in the sky. This feeling cannot be expressed in words. And the wind on the beach. So much pressure, if you don't wear earmuffs, after a while your ears will start to hurt from the blast of wind.

Saint Martin

St. Martin gets very cold after noon. The water goes down completely at low tide. Then you can go far in the water if you want. Because the water depth is very shallow for a long distance. You have no reason to be afraid. And the water in St. Martin is very clear.You can have a lot of fun in the water if you want. We were also playing beach soccer in St. Martin.
And of course, Dr. Humayun Ahmed will come back from his sea luxury. I don't know why everyone is not allowed to enter. Our friend who was from Cox's Bazar is also hitting a lot, then we got permission to go inside for 15 minutes. A very nice and sneaky guest. The house is there. Bicycles are available for rent in St. Martin. Around 40-60 per hour. You can rent one and explore the whole island. It will take 1 to 1.5 hours. Keep walking. It will take you 4 hours to go, 4 hours to come, a total of 8 hours.

Saint Martin

This time, let's talk about St. Martin food. The national fish here is coral. You won't often get free fish. Even if you get it, you will ask for a lot of money. Let me tell you one thing, that is that almost all hotels or restaurants leave the fish with salt/turmeric/pepper. If you ask It will fry you. There is also Tekchanda which looks like Rupchanda. Be careful if you eat Rupchanda or Tekchanda.

Because the price of Tekchanda is half that of Roopchanda. Also there is a fish called Laksha. Do not eat its fries even if you forget it. You may vomit from the smell. You can eat beautiful fish fry, it is good. Also, there is a fish of the same family as lobster called lobster. 3-4 fishes are 1 kg. 2200 kg. Many people like to eat fried lobster. They price it at 100-120, but some The next feeling was not so pleasant. In addition, many people are crazy about eating crab. Some people like it, some people find it very disgusting.

You will see the sunset in St. Martin, it will be good. Not everyone can tolerate the water of St. Martin. So definitely take saline to eat. There are no mosquitoes in Cox's Bazar and St. Martin. So don't worry about it. And if there are mosquitoes, hotel/ Everything is supplied from the guest house. The biggest problem in St. Martin is electricity. There is electricity from 6 pm to 12 am. The rest of the time is completely dark. So the problem that occurs after the electricity comes is that everyone rushes to charge first. It will. So it will be wise to carry a multiplug. It is not cold there. Don't take too much warm clothes. Mobile network is full. There is nothing to be afraid of.
One more thing. The name of the island is Coconut Jinjira. Dub/coconut tastes nectar, price 100/200 taka.

Come to St. Martin, and don't go to Torn Island. Is it something?

There are two ways to go to Chera Dwip. On foot and by trawler. You can walk on foot. It will take approximately 4 hours. And if you go by trawler, it will take 40/50 minutes. A small island. Filled with thousands of corals. Be careful not to cut your feet on the corals. .For this, always wear something on your feet. But it is better to take slippers. There is nothing to fear about the mobile network. All the flowers will be there.

1 hour is enough to visit the whole island. What fruit trees will you find there and you will get a beautiful time to sit by the sea and enjoy the sea. We stayed for 1 night and 2 days.

Hotel timings of 1 day end at 12 noon the next day. And the return time of Seep is 2:30 minutes. So if you go somewhere, you have to leave the bag down and bring it to the hotel or take it with you. But in almost all hotels you can leave and go around.

With friends

After we got into the ship, that joy again, it felt bad but it felt good.
