Tioman IslandWe travelled across the Malaysian Peninsular from Malacca to Mersing on the east coast. Our boat took 2 hours to take us to the island location of Bali Hi from South Pacific (although it is in the South China Sea!)

 Our home for the next 5 days
|
 Oooh! I've died and gone to heaven....
|
 our crowded beach.....not!

 All drinks were duty free and silly cheap. Apart from falling over the only other hazard was falling coconuts.
|
 our first afternoon and the first of many tropical downpours that lasted a couple of hours and then dried up to sunshine....
|
 is that a cue for a drink???
|
 a couple of hours after the picture above

 this cart was our night-time signpost for our room...and then they moved it after a couple of days!!! |
