Hello there,
After a very long and sleepless, 18hr overnight train ride, and 60 minute taxi we arrived at Kuala Besut to catch the speed boat ferry to the Perhentians (Kecil Island).
We had two nights on Long beach just relaxing, and getting a liitle too much sun, lets just say most of the the white bits went red. After long beach we went to the other side of the Island to Coral bay, a quieter smaller beach. Unfortunatly our room had the slowest ceiling fan in the world, and it was like an oven for the two nights there. We took a 45 min walk down to Mira beach along the coastal 'path' or as we would call it jungle trek. The beach was great, but as we were walking back the heavens opened tropical style, and we got drowned (treking in the tropics..... tick).
We've now crossed over into Thailand, where everything is alot cheaper, and feels more familiar. Stayed in Krabi for two nights, an now waiting for our mini bus to Ko Lanta, where we've booked a little resort with a pool, should be great relaxing there. The weather is pretty good at the moment, although it is coming to the end of the rainy season so we'll probably get some heavy showers in the evening.
Heard the news from friends about the earhquake in Sumatra, and the Tsunami in Sumoa, made us realise that we need to keep an eye on the news, especialy as it's not really that far away from us.
But we're ok, and keeping safe and well. Hopefully the same for all of you guys. Let us know what you're up to, it's great to hear from everyone.
Lots of love
Chris & Louise
