Our next stop was the Perhentian Islands which are raved about from everyone you speak to who has visited them.

Back in 2008 we took 21 months off work, rented out the house, found a foster home for Stuart (cat!) and ventured out to the big wide world. We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days! After our return we fell into the routine of life back in the UK but have always planned to get back out there as soon as we could. It took a bit longer than we'd hoped but we did squeeze in getting married and a few holidays ... full info

Hi there I'm off to Perhentian in a few weeks time and enjoyed reading about your experience. I will definitely make sure to be on the 7:30 boat as I have no SAS experience whatsoever :-) Safe travelling

Hi Guys, we were on Besar few weeks ago. What an ordeal you had to endure to get there! Did Dale had any chance to do some diving? Peter

What a funny story! My BF and I were there in June and had a hard time too finding a place to stay, but at least we could find one! What a funny and memorable experience your night on the beach, you guys are braver than me! What killed me about that island was that even when you get a place to stay, they are relatively crappy. I overheard lots of stories of people talking about unwanted varmin in their chalets! Yuck! Luckily that didnt happen to us! Seems like they will have to step up their accomodations a notch especially with growing popuilarity! Hope you guys check out the Cameron Highlands too, very beautiful and a nice break from the heat;) Enjoy your trip, Cheers! Leah O.
