My recent holiday (around mid June 2006) cum island hopping on the east coast peninsular was such an amazing adventure. We (me + nick) start of with an arduous drive from KLIA to Kuala Besut then to Pulau Perhentian Kecil. It took us about 12hrs almost none stop (plus we got lost couple of times.. hehehe) to get to Kuala Besut Jetty. I did the driving most of the time and it
seemed like it never end... On and on.. plus the road was pretty empty. It felt longer than the actual time, yet I tried to stay focus most of the time and stayed awake.. hehehe..

We left my mom about midnight and got to the jetty (Kuala Besut) about midday. Prior to that we got to Kuala Terengganu, I though we are already at the jetty, we were so so happy then for few minutes, until I found out that we have to drive another 2hrs or so for the jetty to Perhentian island :( bloody hell.. we will never get there aren't we..!! And off we go again
Frankly, we don't exactly know how to get there, purely based on sign board (that doesn't help either) and a bit of luck may be.. hehehe.. well, after more than an hour driving, we were lost (not surprised with the way we plan our trip, well it is an adventure anyway). Luckily we came across a few local people and they had helped us for direction to the jetty. Off we go and
hopefully we won't get lost again this time. An hour had past and we were on the right track, just follow the sign board, which eventually brought us to the Kuala Besut jetty.. YESSSSS !!!After taking out all our luggage (I really mean LUGGAGE) and park the car, we bought the ferry ticket (not really a ferry, it is just a boat and not a big one honestly, bit scary tho) to Perhentian Island - Suria Beach Resort. There were about 6 of us all together in this small boat. The boat driver just speed up to the island (as if we were on jetski, pretty mad..!!) and we got there 45min later. The view of the island was breath taking, heavenly mesmerizing!! and it worth the 12hrs drive. All our tiredness and fatigue just vapourise in thin air... it just gone..
