      Tioman island

      July 25, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

      After our stay in Singapore we crossed the border to Malaysia where the streets looked very different to Singapore, we also past many monkeys and a-lot of beware of elephant signs. .We then took a boat ride over to Tioman island which took around 3 hours. Then we checked in at our room and went for a swim in the 29 degree water ( a nice change from the 19 water temperature of Phillip island.) On our second day at tioman island we decided to have a day of relaxing in the pool and swimming in the warm ocean. That day we all realised that most people ( including us) need to remember to wear sunscreen. On day 3 at tioman island we decided to take a walk to the marine park which we thought wouldn’t be too long. So we were off and first we saw a couple of monkeys and they started getting a-bit territorial. But we got through there okay. As we got on further we realised the weather was much more hotter than we bargained for, so we went down to the beach and jumped off the jetty. Then a storm arrived and we had to hide under a bridge. We finally got to the Marine park and it was worth it. We got to feed all the fish and swim up to them and everything which was cool. The only sad part about it was that we had to walk back. In the end it added up to 8km. On our 3rd and final day we rested by the pool and swam in the warm ocean. That night we went to a fire show where people blew fire out of their mouths and did a bunch of cool dancing. We got home, packed and got ready for the next day of travelling.Read more
