Tioman Island - Malaysia

BEACHES!

When you find yourself shrugging at amazing museum pieces and historic locations in South East Asia, you know it's time to head to the islands. Tioman perhaps.

We intended to spend just a short time on this tiny island off the coast of Malaysia, which somehow extended into almost three week. Where did the time go? Diving, drinking and writing. We slummed it for the first week, then meet up with my dad for week of luxury and Shiraz before moving to a small village at the bottom of the island to eat copious amounts of roti.

Learning to Scuba Dive was an amazing experience that we will both remember for the rest of our lives. So many goodies down there, makes walking in jungles seem utterly boring.

This tiny island off the coast of Malaysia offers quite a lot to tourists from hotels in Tioman to tiny coves, beaches and scuba diving classes. On the whole a trip worth making!
