Left Perhentian island for boat transfer to Kuala Besut (above) followed by eight hour bus trip to the jungle.
Perhentian Island: Scuba
Did a short refresher course and a 60 foot dive to a coral reef. No pix except a peek at lizard love.
Perhentian island
This is more like it. From Kuala besut we took a boat to this tropical paradise.
Kota Bahru
Took a flight to this heavily Islamic town in eastern Malaysia to see traditional Malaysian culture. Thank God for the Chinese! Allah Akbar. Below is the most revolting market on earth. The Renaissance hotel had a fab pool. Allah Akbar.
Penang: Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon boat festival: it’s a major event at a lovely lake and the long bus ride was a good island tour. Dinner was at a local food stall.
