It feels good to leave the boiling KL and relax for a bit on one of the most beautiful paradise Island in the world!Well, when I say "relax", it turned out that things could have been much different. At first this trip started pretty bad: Merdeka being one of the busiest week-end, I made sure to book transportation, accommodation and PADI course for Marie and I ahead of time. So after an intense working day, we arrived around 9:30p at the Sentral train station, ready for an overnight journey across Malaysia towards Kota Bahru. I suggested going check the platform number and then having a coffee, since we had 1/2 hour before the train leaves... That's pretty much at this point that I figured out that the actual departure time was... half an hour ago!
Now, what? It's almost 10p, the busiest week-end of the year, all the transportation fully booked since at least a month! We had struggled to be able to take one day off, to get the PADI course booked, etc... No way to screw up the week-end like that! We felt so desperate :-( And I especially felt so stupid because I was the one in charge. So we rushed towards the Putra Jaya bus station at the other side of the city, expecting to take over the seats of some passenger not showing up at the last minute. And it turned out that it's pretty much was happen!... Great!
Enough with the complaining: the rest of the week-end was really enjoyable, though. The diving course was pretty intense since it's suppose to fit in three days, but as we took a plane on the way back, we where not supposed to dive 18 hours before take off, so we took the course in two days. The Turtle Bay Diver club on Besar Island deserves some advertisement here: the manager really helped us get the best out of our diving experience! They are both really cautious about security and ready to let the fun show up even 18 meter underwater. I recommend them.
The last day we climbed the hill along a dirt trail across the jungle. Intense and rough experience! But the overview of the two Islands from the top of the hill makes the hike worth it.
I can't wait to get underwater again!
