The Perhentian Islands. We had such a lovely 8 nights, lazing around doing very little... See below for a few highlights and interesting times, hehehehe.
• Snorkelling: lots of fish and even a turtle! That is, after we almost got booted off our trip as they overbooked the numbers. PS. Our so called ‘waterproof’ camera may not work now...
• Walk around the top end of Perhentian Kecil: Gerard decided he was in need of some exercise (!) and we set off in the heat of the day through the jungle. Tracks, no tracks, snakes, lizards and falling coconuts were the order of the day.
• Gerard the stalker: spent many hours peering for the water monitors, hey there were anywhere up to 3m long, and may have been a tad scared too... Oh and not to mention him accidently walking in to the wrong chalet in the dark much to the surprise of the sleeping gals inside (who were from Geelong, by the way!)
• Canoeing: Wow, is Bee a great canoer!
• Gerard and Bee playing doctor and nurse to our chalet neighbour who may have bled to death if we were not there (thanks Mum for the first aid kit!!)
• The chalet move: being stalked by mozzies induced the first ‘I didn’t imagine it to be like this’ moment! Needless to say we moved accommodation after 2 nights to a place with a sturdy mozzie net and million dollar views for the hefty sum of 60RM per night, or less than $25AUD!
Well, we think the happy snaps tell the rest of the story...
