... then we got pelted by a giant storm. The lighting knocked out the cable car and we got stuck up there for quite a while. When they finally got it moving again it was at a snails pace. It probably took us 25 minutes to ride up and almost an hour on the way down. We put our soaked helmets back on and headed for another night market. They are quite the experience. We even had a chili eating contest. MmmMmm. The veggie lady who sold us the chilis couldn’t ...

... sure someone feeds her but she may have just been lonely. :(<br><br>We continued on, back towards our place and stopped over at the go karts for a fun race. Then we went to Lylai's Shack on the beach for some drinks, to enjoy the sunny afternoon and do some people watching. We walked the beach and saw a beautiful sunset, a perfect ending for our last night. For dinner, we went to the Beach Garden Resort, a German owned place with ...

... about doing a canopy adventure<br>with zip lines, abseiling, climbing and canopy walks. We just have to<br>see if they are available on tuesday and that the price isnt through<br>the roof. We then got back to our room at around 4pm where i went<br>back to sleep and Bryden read some of his book. We then got up at<br>around 5:45pm and headed back out in search of a lighthouse that we<br>were told about so we could get some sunset ...

... and leg.<br>During the rest of the ride (where Neil was able to keep left) we saw some beautiful beaches, took a ride up a mountain in a cable car, stopped at a golf driving range, and chilled out at some natural water slides. Another good day.<br><br>Charis turned 26 on the island as well. Not just one, but three handsome men took her for a big seafood dinner: prawns, fish, calamari, and ice cream.<br><br>One ...

... and we discussed the evenings activities. Vijay, the guide Bob had fished with a few days prior, met with Bob to discuss the plans. Originally it was to be a squid fishing trip, but due to the strong currents due to the full moon, the squid were AWOL. The new plan was to leave a 6:00 and fish for grouper. We ended the session and got ready for the fishing trip. We met Vijay in the lobby and we were driven to a boat launch for the evening ...

... This was a major error of judgment. In the time we'd been away the woman at reception had seemingly forgotten us, and sold the room we'd given her extra money for to someone else. Everyone played a bit dumb, and we were fobbed off with a story that some girl whose friends were in the dorm had got sick so they'd given her a private room. Later we discovered there was only one person in the dorm, a solo traveler. so his story was a bit ...

... guy. I planned to get up at 6 the next day to go fishing before we had to leave around 1 to go to Penang but I switched the alarm off and woke up at 9. It didn't look like beach weather again so we decided we'd go fishing for a couple of hours. We borrowed a rod from the guesthouse for Lucy, bought some squid at the local shop and hurried to the pier, a 10 minute walk we were told which turned out to be 25 minutes. We were also told it's good ...

... tricks while in motion. we all fall off and have a great time. Next is beach football where I develop a blister very quickly and get tired from all the running around. After our hard days work, it's off to the pub for a beer reward. Plans are made for the next day and more friends are found. We eat, drink and fall asleep.

... we were surprised how laid back the place was with lots of concrete motel style accommodation, lots of shops and restaurants on the road and a lack of footpaths - a lot like Bali (Kuta) with a few resorts at the end of the beach. The beach was wide and looked out towards islands (and a submarine!! haha), but the slightly muddy, squishy sand made visibility much less than the crystal clear waters of the Perhentians. After an ...
