Had a mad 24 hours getting from Phuket to Perhentian Kecil. Early check in at Phuket airport, 2 hour flight to Kuala Lumpur, hanging around for 5 hours waiting for a train in K.L. Train journey was awful- nearly 16 hours and Lou was travel sick. Then got a taxi from Wasaf Bharu tain station to the jetty at Kuala Besut which took an hour and the speed boat to the island took half an hour. It was all worth it however cos we have found paradise!!!!!!
Met up with Annie Binns's daughter Jenny who works as a diving instructor on the island, and we decided to start our PADI open water scuba diving course the following day. Lou started feeling rough later that evening, and by the next morning had a stinking cold and sore throat so couldn't do the course. Gutted! Chav is due to finish hers today (Fri). Lou is chilling out reading books and sunbathing. First time I've been able to properly relax since finishing para course. We are staying on the island till next Tues when we go to Singapore for a few days.
