Perhentian Islands - Malaysia


Talk about relaxing ... We are on the "small island" Kecil - There are a few beach areas scattered about with places to stay, restaurants and dive/snorkel shops - each very small and intimate. No roads what-so-ever, everyone travels by boat - ocean is a deep and clean turquoise blue. First we landed/stayed on Long Beach - now at Coral Bay. Electric is available in our rooms from 7pm to 7am (lights and fans). We have been spending the days snorkeling. Great day yesterday - With 2 Brits and our guide Yuseff - we saw; and swam, with turtles, sharks, squid ... there are some really great coral out here to check out - no starfish?!!! Some reading on the beach - evening BBQ's with freshly caught fish. I took a short hike today around the coast line to explore the south end. All of it refreshing and at a slow pace - we are getting used to it. Tomorrow we rent a kayak to check out a few spots on our own!
