Just came back from a trip, 21th-24th, to Pulau Perhentian and Redang.
We stay at Pulau Perhentian. Our lodging is like a kampong style. Well, the accomodation, surrounding and our food (prepared by the islanders, we just eat what they cook for us) is quite interesting, if you keep an open mind to it. Go with a fun-seeking heart. Go without any burden (work, etc). Go with a peaceful mind. You would be like cut off from the bustling livestyle. Your cellphone doesn't have good reception. It is not easy to find any internet connection. Even if you bring tons of money, you couldn't spend much, as there arn't any place for you to splurge (unless you wana order great meals or rent the diving equipment). At night, there isn't much activity for fun. No nightspot. No shopping. No fancy restaurant.
In the day time, we go speed-boat ride to different sea creature's activities. Most of us kinda enjoy the wind-gushing journey, with the occasional bumping ride. It is really fun! Our guide bring us to see clown fish (Nemo) and other types of fish, turtle, sting ray, shark, coral. Upon reaching the water spot, our guides would call up "Jump, Jump, Jump", and we would snorkel around the area. Well, this is my (and my dear) first snorkelling experince! Just float on the water, submerge your head into the clear water, and you would see plenty of sea activites! Well, it is like entering into another area.
We also went to an island, where there is a natural water source! The natural water is icy cold. We drink and splash the water around. It is fun. After so many decades, no one know where is the exact location of the water source.
At Pulau Redeng, we also visit the More More Tea Inn (Summer Holiday - Hong Kong movie). Redang had more visitors and better lodging. But I suppose you need to spend more for it as well.
It is enjoyable and amusing trip!
