Tioman Island > Mersing, Malaysia Day 18

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

What a day we missed the 10.30am ferry – couldn’t have even caught it if we had known about it as Lee’s butt is still not right – but it actually left at about 8.30am!! We were told there might be another one around 11.30am so we stayed on the jetty, we ended up spending the rest of the day there!!! The next ferry didn’t depart until 4.30pm but that actually didn’t end up leaving until 5.30am …….. Island Time!!!

O’Mars was all locked up when we arrived back in Mersing so we stayed in a Hotel. Treated ourselves a little & had air-con which was nice – a reprieve for my body from biting insects.

Tioman Island, Malaysia Day 17

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

3rd Wedding Anniversary!! After brekkie we snorkelled around the little island off the point. It wasn’t very good, we had an on shore wind which has brought all the crap into the bay. We were snorkelling with a film of grit on the top of the water and in some places it was very thick, not very nice at all. To top it off we have a very low tide.

We are now sitting up on our deck whiling away the hours listening to some tunes. Lee went for supplies about 4pm and came back with fried rice, Pringles, coke & ice for the bottle of bourbon he bought at the duty free on our round island tour.

We are the only guests in our group of 5 huts on the hill so the last couple of days have been great for chilling out on the deck, the island is very quiet.  Our family that looks after the resort have a very sick father so they are all on the mainland and the restaurant has been shut now since Sunday arvo which has been a pain but understandable. Jimmy (our 4RM beer man) had been running the show.

We ended up having the same dinner as last night because it was sooo good and Lee still hasn’t come right.
