Is this Paradise?
And we thought we had this travelling lark sorted by now!!! Turns out travelling to Malaysia means you need to book, which meant our trip down to Malaysia took a day longer than we planned. From taxi-van, to boat, to bus, to another bus, to taxi-van, to yet another bus, to taxi, to boat, we arrived at our long-awaited destination - the Perhentian Islands. These 2 islands on the eastern coast of peninsular Malaysia are textbook tropical paradises - so say no more!
We did a couple of fun dives and we saw beautiful sea life, including the huge scary Trigger fish (Our dive instructor happily conferred to us just before our dive that he had been knocked unconscious by one of these scoudrels!) Again life was very hard with a lot of sun-bathing and swimming. Do you all hate us?!!! We also made friends with a couple of baby orphan turtles being looked after by our guesthouse until they were old enough to fend for themselves in the big wide world.
We finally had to say a sad farewell to our new paradise and move on to Kuala Lumpur - again a one day delay awaited us!.

Dear Hayley
Thankyou for your postcard. Nice to hear you are enjoying your travels. What a lovely experience - diving so deep and seeing such beautiful fish - but not the shark i hope! Take care on your journey to New Zealand and i'll look forward to hearing your news from Michelle. Miss you love Nanna xx

Hi Kerry,
Thanks for the postcard, I guess you must be in NZ by now, a bit colder I bet. The diving must have been amazing, I did a try dive in a swimming pool in Sundridge the other week which was good fun but not quite in the same league as a warm tropical sea. It'll be great to see you and catch up when you're back. Have a brill time for the rest of your trip.
Love Simon xx
