Hotel Timotel Mersing

... I fought back the tears but it was tough.<br><br>The next two days were filled with lessons and open water dives to obtain my PADI certification as well as cruel walks back to my thatched cabin. To get to my abode I must walk past the beautiful timber cabana that I rented for two days. Everytime I walked past I would stop, close my eyes and think of that soft warm bed. As I opened my eyes I would see lizards and frogs running into someone&#8217;s ...

Stayed at Sweet Hotel, 5A, Jalan Jemaluang, 86800 Mersing, Johor (tel 077992229, fax 977993545. 100R/n for a triple room (n/breakfast). The Mersing Seafood Restaurant on 56 Jalan Ismail was excellent. A meal for three was 58R and that is incl. a large beer which was 14R. Also tried Port Cafe at the jetty point. I finally tried ...

... very handy for nipping about, although a) it broke down and had to wait for a replacement and b) when we parked it outside our hotel it got trashed overnight and subsequently had to pay for new wing mirror and brake lights! luckily again it didn't come to much, although that day the ATM's went on the blink and we couldn't even get the money out! so we had to bomb it over the airport to get money there! al in all hectic but we left unscathed and in ...

... beim Abendessen im "Restaurant", aber es waren ja noch einige Wochenendfluechtlinge aus Singapur angekuendigt. Bis der Rest der Truppe da war, vertrieben wir uns die Zeit mit ******** spielen (einem englischen Kartenspiel, das einfach genial ist). Gegen Mitternacht trudelte der Rest dann tatsaechlich ein und zur Begruessung gab's erst mal eine lecker Pina Colada. Der Tag war aber doch ziemlich lang und so verkrochen wir uns gegen zwei doch langsam alle in unsere ...

... Es gab auch diesmal keine Kakerlakenattacken. Dann hieß es erstmal Essen fassen. Es gab die Wahl zwischen Rühreiern und Pfannkuchen. Beides sehr lecker. Generell war das Essen sehr gut. Leider dem kulinarischem Höhepunkt, den ein BBQ am Samstagabend bildete, nicht bewohnen, da ich das ganze Wochenende mit einer Magenverstimmung zu tun hatte. Sehr ärgerlich, denn alle meinten,dass das BBQ war erstklassig. Ja, der Toast hat auch sehr gut ...

... was fantastic to get some sun on my face and a bit of colour to my skin after 2 weeks in singapore, where it seemed to **** it down everyday, it was like being back home! I stayed in the tiomans for about 3-4 days and then decided to head up the coast and switch islands, eager to try my hand at being a castaway on a secluded island...

... Next destination were the Cameron Highlands. As the name suggests, it's high land... I don't know how high, but at least 1000m above sea-level. A stark difference to the 30-plus degrees of KL, the air in CH was actually cold! I even had to wear a hat during the night, for fear of catching a cold. Didn't help though, soon our noses were runny and our neighbours awake from the constant coughing from our room. Nevertheless, it was a pleasing change to the hot and humid weather ...

... both feeling a bit 'beached out' so decided to quit paradise &amp; head back to Kuala Lumpur a day early for some beer &amp; shopping! We arranged our ...

... they asked each other after how are you was "Are you itching? Are you itching?" Since they had come back, the 3 of them were itching like hell with newly mosquito bite looking marks... The curse of the island was still with them and I am sure that if you ask the Englishman if he still has marks he would say yes!!! I dont think that me (Maud), Henry or Jerome would recommend going on this island for idyllic holidays!!

... butt and go along? And a third point, malaysian people eat with their hands. They eat EVERYTHING with their hands, even things that you might think you NEED a fork for (rice! fish! rice and fish mixed together!) so they potentially wipe their bums with their hands and then eat with them. THis idea makes me puke in my mouth a little every time I think it. So aside from that, I had a super time in Tioman. I met a ton of fun people including a ...
