pulau perhentian

look like i wont finish writing my ho chi minh trip.. a bit lazy.. by the way, perhentian island was an unexpected trip.. thinking of visiting friend near my ex school but chinese new year was the balik kampung season, so traffic congestion was unavoidable... 2 hours to KT could be more than 4 hours.. so, quickly switched to the nearest place rather than wasting my annual leave... the place was my hang out port in the evening after finishing work.. i mean, another alternative than driving to Pantai Bisikan Bayu/Tok Aman Bali Beach Resort (a spot for water activities here!),jeti Kuala Besut / Pulau Perhentian, Pantai Air Tawar, Bukit Keluang or sometimes choosing different route @ Tok Bali & Pantai Irama... Since the place was quite near & i have to work in the next 2 days, i decided to choose a one day tour (boat 8.30 am & 4pm)... thinking of it now, perhaps the trip to Perhentian was the cheapest holiday for me rather than going somewhere else... no flight /bus ticket, not much budget for food/lodging & not much fuel consumed to go there... Back to my trip, we head to Taman Laut @ Perhentian Besar, had breakfast near Abdul Chalet, start snorkelling at 10am - 5 different points(shark point, turtle point & 3 more -x-ingat-point), lunch at Kampung Nelayan(Perhentian Kecil), taking water taxi to Perhentian Besar & spend the remaining time at Perhentian Besar.. indeed,the azure blue sky & crystal clear water(with different colour tones!) were the main attractions at Perhentian Island.. one day trip certainly wasnt enough!
