And I meet up with the cool girls working in one of the mobile phone stores that I first meet the day I went to Tioman and bought my cell card. Take care girls!!
Finally it was time for me to leave and 22 o’clock in the evening it was time to enter the freezer. Yepp, for you that haven’t taken the bus in
After a cold night in the bus, I arrived to Kota Baru, a city on the boarder to
If you are looking for a place with clear blue water, white beaches, and bonfire with lot of young people sitting and singing songs all night long, this is the spot. Perhentian Kecil is a small island where you can walk from on side of it to the other side in about 10 minutes.
The rooms are super cheap in the off season, that last until the mid of February, then the prices goes up each week. I got a nice 2 bed bungalow for 15 Ringet (30 nok/ 5$) every night, but the people that came the week after had to pay 20.
The first night was very relaxed; I didn’t know anybody so was just walking around, breathing deep, smiling and just enjoying the view of paradise. The next day I meet one of the two backpackers that had asked me to join them in the car to the ferry. She invited me to join the group for some party at the other side of the island, a gorgeous beach much smaller then the one I lived on. Here I meet up with the Swedish trio (see picture), among many others. My fist bonfire at the Perhentian. A night to remember.
The Swedish girls, a German boy, Jenny and me. Jenny (nearest me) was one of the two
backpackers that I was driving with on the way to the ferry.

But not everything was as in paradise on this island. One day when some of us were walking in the jungle that you have to cross to get from one beach to the other, one of the Swedish girls starts to scream. It turned out that an ant was about to screw its head into here foot. This was not the normal ant, but a really big, ugly one that had some teethes that it used to drag itself into the skin. Luckily we managed to get it out, but after that, the walk to the jungle was everything else than jungle-exotic.
But life went on with snorkeling, laying on the beach, dinner by the shore and bonfire every night. What a life! Meet new people every night, from all over the world, people that have only one thing in common, the love for travel. And basically, that is the only thing you need to get in touch with fellow travelers.
So after much party, beaching, eating, bonfirering and boosting my mail-contact list with some 20 new emails addresses, it was time to leave paradise and head one to
And that was
