Yes we left one of the paradise on earth this morning...!

as i wrote in the last post here (almost two weeks ago) we went out to an island called Perhentian island.. we ended up staying ther a bit longer then we thought... and that means we like it there..

stiart from the beginning.. it took us aprox 30 min to get to the island from kuala besut, You go there easiest by speedboat.. after those 30 min it feelt like you been doing an facial lift because of the wind in the speedboat.. well on the beach we ariived to we started to lok for a place to stay.. we only found one place and they had only a room for one night, so we took that..

because we only had accomendation for one night and we wanted to stay out there longer, we started to look for rooms.. we had to go to an other beach on the same island (perhentian island consists of two island, we stay at the bigger one). they told us it was fine just to walk there aprox 20-30 min walk, ok fine.. we started walking or it was jugke trekking.. really cool but very hot in the middle of the day.. well finaly over on the other side we find a place called cocohut where we choosed to book for 2 night, little bit more expensive but with a/c and breakfast incl... after we book this we went back to our beach (by watertaxi, really cheap way to get around to the beaches) and stayed there the rest of the afternoon and evening... when we went to bed we understood why everybody told us we should have a/c on the room, we didnt!! and that was the longest night ever!! it was soooooo HOT!!! both elin and me maybe slept 3 hours that night, so we where happy the next morninga nd we checked out to go to cocohut where we booked a/c :)

Cocohut turned out to be a really good place, simple room only cold shower, but nothing really to complain about.. so we deceided to extend our stay there...we stay in cocohut for 6 night and then they where fully booked so we decoded to stay at the other part of that resort called cozy the last 4 night, so in total we stayed at Perhentian island 11 night.. so teh last night at cozy was quite expensive but we had a nice room, with two dubble beds, hot shower, fridge and balcony... we think we were worth that after all the dorm rooms we been in during this trip!! so little bit lux holiday feeling...

so 11 days on a island with almost nothing to do.. then is the question what did we do all this days, my answer: Nothing really!! and it was nice,,, we realxed, enjoyed the sun on th beach (45degrees in the air, 35 in the water, the water did not even cool you down it feelt like going in a bathtub, never feelt so hot water in the ocean before), went snokling, did day excursion to other beaches and try the sand and the water there, meet nice people and of course ate a lot of good food...!
the days passed by pretty fast for soing nothing :)

want to tell you a little bit about the snorkling, it was amazing... we put the alarm on 7.30 on morning to go up and go snokling before breakfast, to try to catch a some fishes... and we did, we saw sharks, stingrays, seaturtle and "nemos" and a lot more!!! really cool!!!!

anyway yesterday was last day on the island and it started raining.. litle bit sad, but we got a really good tan anyway right now..hope it last until we come home aswell!!!!! so you all believe me ;)
But it feelt better to leave the island this morning when it was raining then to leave in sunshine :)we got really wet on the speedboat.. lycky we had raincover on our bags and we had dry clothes to change to when we arrived to the jetty.. from the jetty in Kuala besut we went by a minivan ti penang, 6 hour drive!!!!
that was a story by it self.. a really good minbus we comfortable seats, but the busdriver had already been driving for 6 hours when we got in and he was so tired and was about to fall alseep all the time.. :) crazy! but we arrived alive to Penang and georgtown at about 4pm (16.00)..


now about tomorrow, dont know so much yet, we book ferrytickets to langkawi and from tehre we see, we are planing to stay there for threenight, because then we have fly back to KL where we going to´do teh last shopping before we go back home to sweden..and 4 month travelling is over!!! i tell you one more time: time goes fast when you having fun!
