• Intriguing Islands

    November 8, 2024 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    For breaky we had our usual roti canai then we went to the beach ready to hop onto our jet skis. When I saw the jet skis rip in I thought this was going to be one of my best holiday days ever. And I was on the money! We got a safety briefing which I didn't pay attention to and then we were off. Me and mum were on one jet ski and dad and Fern on the other. Mum drove to the first island. It was her first time on a ski and I think she was a natural. She went about 60km an hour. First island we went to and we had an hour to explore the place. We went straight to the fresh water lake. It's fresh water because of all the rain coming off the big mountains. A few bomb dives and I tried out my new goggles.
    And then I drove next! Even though I ignored the safety briefing I think I knew how to do it from watching mum. Driving it was so fun! It took a little bit of getting used to though.
    Riding the jet ski through the ocean was much harder than the bays because the ocean was rough. I felt like I was in control but sometimes the waves kick the ski sideways and it's a bit hard to get it back on track.
    We went through some caves which was cool. On the way back I drove and I hit a max speed of 75km an hour, but it felt like 175km!
    We on the skis for 4 hours but it felt like 20mins! It was over in a heart beat.
    Overall, I reckon it was one of the best travel days of my life.
