Perhentian Kechil

We were going to go to the Cameron Highlands for a couple of days after Penang, but as everyone we met said we must visit the Prehentians it wasn't a hard choice to skip the countryside and lie on a beach instead!

We decided to go to the 'small island' and chose Coral Beach rather than Long Beach. After an 8 hour bus ride, one hour taxi ride and 30min speed boat ride it really was like stepping into paradise when we finally reached the island. The island is pretty small with just a scattering of restaurants and accommodation on both sides so it's a great little get away.

We had two days of great weather and then it rained, and rained and rained. We woke up on the third day and it was still grey so we decided to leave the beach a little early and head for KL.

Just chillin'

Hardly anyone was on Coral beach, as you can see!

A huge coconut fell from the tree just missing us on Friday 13th!

Coral Beach

The sea was like a giant bath on this side of the island as it was so calm and quite warm

We can never tire of a good sunset

And then the rain came and didnt stop for two days

On the boat trip back we were stopped by the sea police as we didnt have life jackets on
