The Perhentian islands are amazing- 29 degree blue water, soft sand, colorful fish, beachside cafes, everything you could want in a holiday! Simon and I arrived Sunday night. He had to leave Wednesday to get back to Japan, I had intended on staying till Thursday but left the following Sunday instead. Cause really, when you're in a place this great why leave?
I took my open water course with some cool folks from Norway, its nice to be official! My ears were stopped up for a few days after but it was all worth it. If I had more money I might have stayed on the island longer and been a beach bum, but things start to close down in October with the monsoon season so we were there at a great time. Definitely recommend this place!
Theres no jetty, so a boat takes you from the mainland to just offshore of your chosen beach where a smaller water taxi takes you to shore. We stayed at the backpackery Long Beach, and it was great. When Simon left I moved to a shack on the hill with rough planks with cracks in between and spaces in the roof for the geckos to get in but thats all you need really. The restaurants get daily deliveries by boat as well, and they have to get gasoline for the generators, which is how all electricity is supplied on the island. I miss it already!
