A Holiday Trip to Remember

I spend a family vacation on a tropical island ended up with this wonderful holiday trip to Tioman, a popular Malaysian island resort which shot to fame as the island of Bali Hai in the Rodgers Hammerstein of South acific! "irst day thar we started our #ourney, we $oarded the high%speed ferry from &luang ferry terminal in Malaysia for the ' hour #ourney to Tioman! I was so e(cited to $e on my first $oat ride $ut the e(citement soon wore off once I was in the open sea with nothing much to see e(cept the monotonous scenery of mainland Malaysia in the ha)y distance! *ut in the open water, the s+y was $lue and cloudless $ut in the distance, cloud hovered a$ove Tioman! ,s we neared the island, visions of the legendary Bali Hai from the movie South acific fleeted through my mind! Before long, the huge island of Tioman loomed $efore us, rising out of the water ma#estically with its pea+s towering over us and surrounded $y an emerald sea! -e arrived at the #etty in front of Ber#aya Tioman and had to clear immigration officials who had set up des+s at the front and rear of the $oat! ,fter a long wait, we finally clear immigration and $oarded another $oat which $rought us to the #ety at &ampung aya, where we got down and wal+ed to Tioman aya Resort, which would $e our home for the ne(t . nights! -e had $oo+ed a / days ' nights full%$oard pac+age with two additional nights 0free and easy1! -e visited the Tioman Marine ar+! ,s it was a half day trip, the resort provided pac+ed lunches! My first e(perience seeing the fishs close%up was e(citing! I had ama)ed that the fishes didnt have a natural fear of humans, unli+e most terrestrial animal! They would hang around snor+els waiting for handouts and were even willing to $e hand fed $y visitors! *ther fish species that werent interested in $read simply swam around or were $usy feeding on algae off roc+s and corals! The Tioman paya resort that we stayed was 2uite nice with its tim$er chalets $lending into the surrounding! The air%conditioned rooms were clean and comforta$le with solar heaters mounted on the roofs for hot water! *ur particular chalet was located ne(t to the forest! To get to the $each or main dining hall, we had to cross a little wooden $ridge $uilt over a river with mangrove trees fringing its $an+s! Monitor li)ards would occasionally ma+e their presence felt when they splashed into the water! There were many of them here and some were 2uite $ig! 3ach morning they would lie on the grass on the resort grounds, $as+ing in the morning sunshine and

running up the nearest tree when we approached too close! Meals were served in the common dining area, which also housed the other shared facilities, li+e T4, newspapers and other reading material! ,n ala%carte menu was also availa$le! ,fter . nights in Tioman, we reluctantly $oarded our $oat at aya #etty which transferred us to the main #etty at Ber#aya where we caught the high%speed ferry $ac+ to &luang! My first holiday island trip had $een a lot more en#oya$le than e(pected, and I now loo+ed forward to my ne(t island destination that is ulau Redang!
