On the ferry to Tioman Island. We have just travelled all day, flying from KK in borneo back to Johor Bahru (skode hole) sadly said goodbye to Jam, then taxi (believe it or not) for 2 hours to Mersing on the east coast. This is the departure point for the famous Tioman Island, a sizable place about 2 hours from the coast covered in jungle but dotted with sandy beaches and hidden coral treasures.
We stayed in ABC, a tiny place with no roads, just a path that winds along the coast for about a kilometre, and the main trunk line for plenty of restaurants and backpacker places. We found a cool hut for the 4 of us to share. Powercuts were rife, and even water cuts, so it was candles and a sleepless night without the fan! Depicted here is a typical day. 4 nights here meant a rest from the constant hopping we'd been doing, a holiday from our holiday sort of.
Pub - reggae blasting.Alcahol - Tioman is duty free, so we walked 40 min to buy 2 bottles of rum (19 ringit each or about NZ$7.50) and bought them back. This place even kept our coke we mixed it with cold for us! Beer is not cheap anywhere, relative to everything else anyway.
View from our hut.
Fire on the beach -why not?
