INTRODUCTION
Yuhuuu!! Guess what, it's time for another holiday again! Yuhhuuu!! But it was really an unexpected trip for me, why? It is because only six person involve..expected around 20 person but last minutes all cancel because the reason meeting, report, iso and another reason that i got it because the tsunami at Japan...The story-nyer like this....Jeng Jeng Jeng...
Actually, this is a trip for May ,I want to go first because want to get survey about Perhentian Island, considering they manage to grab some promotional package to the island, at Fauna Beach Resort.
So are you ready to go and browse around for our photos and story for the whole journey? Sit still, ready your popcorn and coke on your hand while scrolling down to the end of this post! hahahahaha! Like watching movie huh~ except this is not 3D animated movie, but a "movie" whereyou need to use your fingers to scroll. Please bear with it la huh~ ^^
Ok, back to the story, we will need to depart at 8pm at night on 11th March from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Besut and reach there before 9 am. Our boat depart from Kuala Besut to Perhentian on 9 am, 12th March 2011.
Both of us do have the intention to go there for a simple photoshoot session tom promote Malaysia in TRAVELBIZ and snorkelling package (macam la pro!!). We prepared the necessity such as beach dresses, beach sport outfits, beach accessories, beach hat and so on.
We divided into session on that blog .
Travelling is the best thing ever. We can relax, improve knowledge & see more new things in life. I love to travel...
Perhentian island is a popular destination for backpackers, featuring long white sand beaches, dense jungle trails and excellent diving and snorkelling. The island is part of a Marine Park, and as such a protected from excessive development, though each year a little of natures paradise is replaced. On the positive side, a renewable energy center (wind and solar power) supplies the local village with electricity.
Long Beach is the liveliest area of the island, followed by Coral Bay, accommodation consists mainly of Beach Huts, but a few resorts operate concrete and air-conditioned units.
Tips: · Best weather (in season) March-October - (off season) Nov-Feb heavy rain and waves keep all but the most determined surfers away. There can be unseasonable good weather - or you can be trapped on the island for many days. · The fast boats to the island cost 70RM return, there is a 5RM park fee, taxis from the airport or train station in Kota Baru should cost about 50RM. · Beware of cheap dive operators - if a dive operator is undercutting the standard rate dramatically - corners are being cut - it may not affect you - but someone in the future may suffer with faulty equipment. · Coral Bay is the quieter beach, Long Beach bars play loud music long into the night - though you're more likely to be kept awake by the chugging of generators. · There are no ATM's on the island - stock up on cash before you arrive.
STARTING POINT
Bermula seawal 9.30pm, Jumaat, 11/3/20011 mofabisa, aliff, ismail, farah, daniel, zai dan nash melangkah bersemangat menjalani satu misi penting. Misi untuk melupakan segala kekusutan, ke-kelam-kabut-an, kemurungan, kesedihan dan kesibukan kota metropolitan Kuala Lumpur ini. Dengan tekad, dan azam serta sorakan lagu Wonderpets “apa yang penting? setia kawan!” mengiringi perjalanan kami.
Dengan satu tujuan….. Pulau Perhentian..Kami bertolak daripada Tol Gombak dan terus melalui malam yang gelap ke Kuala Besut melalui Bentong, Karak dan Cherating. Dalam perjalanan kami ramai yang call maklumlah kami tak sempat nak tengok berita mengatakan ada tsunami di Jepun la..macam macam..kami tidak patah semangat malah itu memberi kami cabaran lagi untuk menakluki perhentian.
Khabar- khabar angin tersbut dah biasa kami dengar oleh orang2 yang tak mahu pergi trip kami. Apakah yang terjadi di Pulau Perhentian??? Adakah kitorang dapat BERKAYAK, BERSNORKLING, USYAR MAT/MINAH SALLEH, tinggal di FAUNA BEACH, dan makan BBQ Seafood sampai kembung perut? Stay tune…… lihat catatan seterusnya did alam episod ini..
PS: Seorang omputih bertanya:“Who is MAT SALLEH? Everywhere I go, everybody talk about him/her. She/he must be famous. I can’t wait to meet him/her.”
Perjalanan melalui jalan berliku..genting sempah, bentong, karak, gambang..
