Were in mersing at the mo and I am lying in the softest bed in the whole world :) catching a coach to melacca in a few hours for the last stop before kl and home.
Kl last time was lovely, in the really busy expat and tourist district so lots going on and places to eat and shop.Had one more huge breakfast on the last morning then caught a tiny 12 row of seats aeroplane to tioman.I do feel pretty bad about the amount of flying were doing but pops is so impatient.on tioman we got a water taxi to our beach and got soaked by the waves and went flying around the boat which was pretty funny.wed booked a pretty crap room as it was dark and damp so we moved the next day, but the first room did have a mother cat and 4 tiny baby kittens under the steps who were so sweet.
We stayed on salang beach which was lovely with lots of restaurants and bars and a really nice beach but not too busy.most of the restaurants had bbqs so we had barbecued fish most nights which was ace.and beer was super cheap too so We were pretty happy.
First full day there we stayed on the beach and snorkelled about in the shallows as the water is so amazingly clear.Oh and a monkey came and stole a banana out of our bag and my dad ran out and started yelling at it and it wasn't bothered at all,just sat there eating our banana.
There was a river running through the town with those huge monitor lizards in that are as big as people and we saw a couple of them.
Next day we decided to go on a round the island trip for £20 each but unfortunately we picked the worst day ever.and Had a horrible mean boat driver who never smiled.first it was just very windy and then overcast but by the time we headed off for lunch it was pouring with rain and we were stuck in this little boat,soaking wet and getting thrown about.was quite funny to start with and then it just got a bit cold and miserable.after lunch the driver seemed quite suprised that we didn't fancy snorkelling in the open sea in the middle of a storm but we declined and went home 3hours early and soaking wet,without doing any swimming. Oh and there was the most beautiful little french girl on our trip she was about 3 and looked like she should have been on a petit pois advert and I wanted to steal her.
So that day was a bit of a failure.next few days I was a bit ill so didn't go out that much but we just did more lazing around on the beach, snorkelling, drinking beer.nothing too strenuous and all very lovely.
Yesterday we had to leave as I was having loads of trouble with my shitty old house and there was no internet on the island.which sucked a lot but we left and were told we were booked on the 11.30 ferry but to get there a bit early. This was a lie. We waited until 1.30 when the first ferry of the day arrived and about 50 people who had all been told different ferry times tried to get on.we luckily managed so then spent 3 hours on the slowest ferry in the world getting to the mainland.not a fun day.but we had the best dinner at a Chinese seafood place where we had wild boar, 'drunken prawns' and prawns fried in butter.after mama and my hands smelt but not in a bad way, more like mmm oh my hands smell so good that was such a good dinner.we were very sad when pops made us wash them. And that's all really.almost home and I am so looking forward to getting back to brighton. And getting very very drunk. And straightening my hair that is going to be So nice.
