... bathroom, but not a day went by when we didn't see a frog in there, owing to the easily-enterable gaps between the wooden slats on the window. On the day we arrived, there was Freddy, nonchalantly hugging the soap dish with his spindly fingers. I wasn't sure what to do with him, so I just left him there. The next day, however, Freddy was joined by a much larger friend. The electricity never came on until 6pm, as it runs off a generator, and as ...

... supply is via generators. Most places only supply electricity between the hours of 7pm and 7am and the water supply is often quite limited. There are 2 islands which make up Perhentian. One is known as the big island and the other.......you guessed it, is known as the small island. The big island is made up of all the larger posher resorts and the smaller island is the backpackers party island with all the budget (****) accommodation. We of course chose the budget island ...

... that the back of the boat had the most weight, which meant that it pretty much never got air when the first part of the boat hit the top of the waves. Every time the boat hit the top of a high wave, it's front part got air, and lots of it. Everytime it got air, it hit the water which felt like it was hitting solid concrete.

We boarded the overnight bus that ...

... on our underwater camera..... right before our underwater camera decided it wasn't waterproof and became toast. A HUGE disappointment as it was not cheap and would have been nice to have for the rest of the our journeys..... but hopefully will be covered by warranty. But....turtle pics are still intact I believe. From turtle point we went on to snorkel with some sharks!!!!! They were actually pretty cool.....if not extremely intimidating. They were black tip sharks of ...

... a snake or two, iguanas and other creepy-crawlies.<br><br>Impiani is situated on the southern part of the Small Island and hence, is rather isolated. All meals are served a-la carte at its main restaurant and we quite enjoy the delicious food. Our chalet is spacious and air-conditioned, with a huge balcony facing the beach. I spent most of my time reading on the balcony when Argi went for his diving trips. Electricity is switched off ...
