One Night in Mersing - day 10
This is a top pick! ... in an Internet cafe the night before, we had not managed to reserve accommodation on Pulau Tioman (let alone Mersing). We were swiftly ushered into her office next to the car park, pleasantly air-conditioned and looking pleasingly ...
Another Night in Mersing - day 16
This is a top pick! ... of Chinese in this town over Malays. None of the businesses appeared to be run by Malays. This was our first realisation of the disparities amongst racial communities in Malaysia, which became explained to us in ...
How many cats d'you want?
This is a top pick! Just arrived in Mersing over on the east coast. Cats everywhere. Missed the last ferry so staying overnight. Should make it over to Pulau Tioman ...
Mersing
This is a top pick! ... and paid for them (ourselves going back to KL and Phil and Julie going on to Singapore) we will spend the next 2 nights here in Mersing. The 4 of us have also decided to stay in a plush hotel for next 2 nights - A Quad room costing RM260 a night (which ...
Back in underpants land
This is a top pick! ... happy about being here and not on my tropical paradise, but I figured I had better see something of Malaysia apart from sand. Doesn't help that I'm in Mersing - I'm sure its a lovely seaside town, but that night on the jetty is pretty much going ot ruin ...
Tiomanista
Onhan tuollainen mandivessa tosi ekologinen! Mandi tarkoittaa sita, etta otat kauhalla vetta ja peset pyllysi sen sijaan, etta kayttaisit paperia. En silti ole viela taysin sopeutunut sen kayttoon, suosin edelleen paperia ja yritan sailoa sita taskut ...
Nearly didn't make it into Malaysia!
We left Singapore early to catch a bus to Johor Bahru in Malaysia. We got to the border crossing and it turns out I was meant to keep hold of my departure card for Singapore in my passport! It meant that I had to be taken to a room where I had ...
Mersing urgent Island call
hallo ihr da draussen, hab nicht viel zeit, weil gleich die faehre nach tioman island (malaysia) geht, wo es wohl fantastische korallen zu beschnorcheln gibt. habe es endlich geschafft aus dem sterilen singapur wegzukommen. jatzt beginnt die reise ...
P1 Restaurant
Had great food at P1 Pizza and Pasta Restaurant and chatted to the really friendly Swiss owner of the place for a few hours. Omar's Backpackers has beds, four walls and not much else. A quick stopover, get the boat to Tioman Island in the morning. ...
I have found the definition of island paradise
... the causeway into Johor Bahru in order to catch a bus out to Mersing, which is a small town on the east coast of Malaysia, from Mersing we caught a ferry out to an island called Tioman, its about a 2 hour ferry ride from the mainland. If you have ever ...
Pulau Tinggi
Pulau Tinggi otherwise know as "the island that attacked us" or "the island that was strangely deserted"... If the title doesn't say it all and you wish to know what the island exactly did to us, read on otherwise there are more photos in the photo ...
Mersing
I arrived on the ferry two hours after leaving Tioman. The minute I got off I got 10 different taxi offers which I turned down stupidly.. I ended up carrying like 80 pounds of luggage 2 km into town to the bus stop. Got there and the guy was nice enough ...
Mersing
Although the road is rocky, it sure feels good to me and if I'm lucky .... Now this is more like it!! Malaysia is much like parts of Africa only different. The main differences, it's moving forward. Slightly chaotic and it's all building in progress the ...
Fags on a Fuel boat
... to! ...and what a good decision it turned out to be. It only took about 4 hours to get from the Singapore/Malaysia border to the jetty where the Island boat picks you up from. And after the texting the resort on my arrival, they immediately ...
Kapitalismin jyllaysta Singaporessa
Tarinaa Singaporesta ja matkasta sinne: Olimme sopineet isantamme kanssa saapuvamme vasta illasta, koska han oli paivan toissa. Laskeskelimme saapumisemme tarkkaan, ettei meidan tarttisi rinkkojen kanssa kovin pitkaan pyoria kaupungilla. Ongelma siis ...
One night in Mersing
By the time I had arrived in Mersing it was dark and I had missed the last ferry over to Tioman, Roy having left earlier in the day. I found a cheap hotel and checked in for the night and after a quick bite to eat got an early night to get up for the ...
Wake up and pray, people
Oh dear, I so hate mornings. I took a bus from Jerteh and got here about an hour ago. The little fishing town of Mersing, port town of the Pulau Tioman bound ferry, isn't as sleepy as one would imagine...even at this hour (6 in the morning). I had to ...
Desaru
... few weeks of sunbathing and chilling out. After our few days in Singapore we caught the ferry and headed across to Desaru beach, Malaysia - as you can see from the pictures there wasn't really that much to do apart from walking along the beach, swimming ...
Sleeping in Mersing Bus Station - Awesome!
... on keeping you awake. Yet again, we arrived before schedule, this time about 4 am, with the boat for Tioman departing at 7.30. I collapsed on a bench, hugging my bags and fell asleep like a tramp! Mmm, nice! Mersing looked nice though... from the ...
Back on the Malaysian Mainland
Back in Mersing, and a little more awake this time, if only slightly so. But extremely sunburnt and so cowering in the shade at every possible opportunity. We arrived hopeful that we could just rock up and book a bus ticket to Singapore, and not miss our ...
Had enough of Malaysia
... . If we'd have actually gone to places like Langkawi it might be a different story. My advice to anyone planning on going to Malaysia would be to not bother and just go to Thailand instead. Its cheaper and has more beaches. Unless you don't mind eating ...
Dive Chebeh, then food hunting in Mersing
... for plenty of schooling fishes but its a relatively small wreck. Then it was time to say goodbye again to this beautiful place. At Mersing, we had a few hours before taking the bus back to KL so we went hunting for local food and found a huge food ...
Hidden. And no beer for a week
... got there before the majority of the tourists arrived. The beach we were on was small and didn't have any places that sold beer!! Malaysia is a Muslim country and beer is hard to come by (outside the main towns.... and Langkawi!) at the best of times so ...
Tioman Island
First stop in Malaysia. Tioman island is like stepping back in time. Just a walking path along the edge of the island dotted with little clusters of wooden bungalows. The rest of the island is mountainous jungle. We got to the island by a two hour bone ...
Omars Bedbug Gulag.
For research on bedbug problems I recommend the guys from Bayer to go to this hostel. The guy seems to be aware of his problem, but he is not doing anything about it.Maybe its already to late. Its a bug planet. ...
It really is a lonely planet!!
... into the sea or tread on one of the hundreds of crabs. Needless to say we were not very successful! The east coast of Malaysia consists mainly of kampungs (villages). Although this makes it scenic and unusual, it means there's not a hell of a lot to ...
Mud huts, here we come...
I have truly discovered that I am a 4 star accommodation kinda guy! We arrived on Tioman Island after a very short (thankfully) flight in a 'smarties tube' and got through customs before getting ready for the speedboat ride to the resort (no roads!) ...
Mersing, Malaysia
... Tioman siis jai ja meian piti muuttaa suunnitelmia. Nyt lahetaan siis vaan eteenpain Singaporeen muutamia paivia aikasemmin. Mersing on pieni kaupunki meren rannalla. Ystavallisia ihmisia ja pieni merituuli. Rantabulevardilla kaveltiin tanaan ja merta ...
Mersing
Mersing Only stayed here one night waiting to get the ferry to Pulau Tioman but every person we met was just lovely from the staff in East Coast Backpackers, to the Swiss husband and wife who owned P1, a really nice restaurant by the pier, to the guy ...
