Pulau Perhentian lies off the coast of Kuala Terengganu and is relatively popular among foreigners. It is a great place for a relaxing trip as it is not as crowded as the rest of the beaches and privacy is ensured. Although we stayed at another beach, Coral Bay seems to be a nice place for a stay over.

I cut the sole of my left foot while snorkeling and it left a deep wound. It really affect my trip because I couldn't get into the sea for the rest of my stay. You can see from the picture on the left that I even had to bandage my foot with a sock as there isn't any medical facilities nearby. From then onwards, I began to bring a more comprehensive first aid kit to every other trip that I go. It was sad that I have to learn this through the hard way.

It was already a long time since I went there and I had forgotten most of the trip. However, I could still remember how white and powdery the sand was on the beach. Our beach hut was just steps from the beach. We could just open our door and jumped right into the sea! Life on the island is more serene and there wasn't much to do.

Basically it's a place for people to just laze on the beach, read a book or just baked under the sun. I think the animals living there feel the same way, judging the behaviour of a cat that always sleep outside our door. There was a hammock just outside our hut and it was relaxing to have an afternoon nap in it.
