Perhentian for the 3rd year in a row

Its me again.....yes, this is my 3rd time to Perhentian and still loving it! :)

Well, for those of you who want to go, you can fly via Air Asia to Kota Bahru (well...perhentian is in Terengganu, but its actually way on top, much closer to Kota Bahru...which explains why you fly to KB instead of Kuala Terengganu)...and you can get a taxi from the airport to Kuala Besut for around RM80-RM90.

I revisited my long lost relatives in Kuala Besut (not!) =P Kush will love this pic! hehe.


The boat ride from Kuala Besut to Perhentian is about half an hour or so (not too far away) and costs about RM70 per head (if I remember right) for return boat ride.
I was staying at Sharila, Coral Bay. Not my first time staying on Coral Bay, but in that resort.
The beach at Coral Bay....
I believe this could be the OLD jetty....well not anymore obviously.
Sharila Resort
The chalets are very kampung style....feels like you're staying in the jungle. Yes, there were alot of trees....

I made some lil' frens....so cute!!!

Coral Bay
You can actually walk to Long Beach from Coral Bay. There is a trail through the island...its about a 10 minute walk....
Finally at Long Beach.....an ice cold banana chocolate shake mmm.....heaven!

You can rent an umbrella for RM10...and you get a big bottle of mineral water for free...oh and mats too....

All you need for the beach...a good hat, an interesting book and sunblock...lots of it.
The water at Long Beach...absolutely crystal clear!



Romantic beach is another beach reachable from Sharila Resort. It's nice if you wanna avoid the crowd....very private....and that makes it romantic i suppose...hence the name =P



Well the 4 days flew by in a jiffy and it was finally time to leave.....so sad...back to reality...

Perdik Falls, Selangor

Its been slightly more than 2 weeks since my last post and I wish to apologise to my dear loyal readers (if any :-p) for making you guys wait anxiously.

Well, its been a roller coaster of a past few weeks for me. Sometimes I have the time to blog, but i just run out of things to say. Other times, when i feel like blogging, i either dont have the time or I just prefer to keep those thoughts to myself. After all, not everything I put up here makes nice reading for people.

OK, back to today's post. Perdik Falls. Where is this place? Its located around the mountainous region of Hulu Langat. its one of the lesser known falls and harder to locate. Even with the GPS co-ordinates which I found online, the navigation system repeatedly tried to lead me to use a different route, the Ampang route rather than the straight-forward, Hulu Langat way. Moredetails about the falls can be found in this website. Please do note that while I encourage people to visit the falls, please keep the environment clean. Do not leave your rubbish everywhere in the forest reserve. Meanwhile, enjoy some pictures we took on that trip.























Interested to go? Remember to keep the place clean!
Its about 30-40 mins trek with a slight uphill trek just before the waterfall. You can hear the sounds of the waterfall and river along the trail.
SOrry about the pictures as they are disorganised. They are in reverse chronological order, but i hope you wont mind :-p
As for the GPS co-ordinates, this is the 1 I have using my own GPS machine (Nokia E52)
PArking at the start of the trail : N 03.12.415; E101.50.072
The waterfall itself: N 03.12. 747; E 101.49.561
Boodyboy, out!!
