This is long overdue... The first in a string of recent visitors were our dear old friends, Greg and Laura, in April. We hit some of the Penang sights before heading east to the Perhentian Islands.

| In our flat |
We hit two different east coast islands, Perhentian Besar and Pulau Kapas. The snorkeling was incredibly good, just steps off the shore. The Perhentian islands have a ban on fins, which is no doubt a contributing factor to reviving the marvelous coral beds there. Too bad Kapas hasn't followed suit. Your author managed to forgot to bring the camera which purports to be waterproof to 3 meters and would have provided some fab shots...Alas, we will simply have to come back. We snorkeled several times each day, seeing perhaps three dozen different species of fish.

We hit the city of Kuala Terrenganu inbetween the two islands.
