Mersing > Tioman, Malaysia Day 8
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009Headed over to Tioman on the 10 o’clock ferry, about a 2 1/2 hour ride. We got to see half of the island as our bay – Salang – where we booked our accommodation was the last drop off for the ferry. We booked our accommodation yesterday in Mersing so we had no real idea of what it would be like. Well it is great just what we wanted; we are a short walk up the hill in a little hut looking over the bay & jetty….the perfect spot.
We had a bite to eat and then went for a wander. The bay is very small, no roads at all only paths so no traffic. We did discover that our resort ‘Salang Sayang’ is at the best of the bay for swimming. We had dinner on the beach and then met up with the Swedes for a drink, finally we discovered their names – Hobrick & Fanny (pronounced Fanni). They had arrived on the island yesterday so they had already settled in.
