Banana Pancake

 ?! hahahaha

checking in once again.

 we had room quite far away from each other

room pictures was actually taken at the third day of our trips, so sorry for the mess
(Sharila resort Standard room Twin Sharing RM438.00 included breakfast)

 The electricity keeps on restart, it keeps went out and came back a few minutes later.
Will have to keep on switching on the air-conditioning.
Same to the water supplies as well. It's terrible enough to keep switching on the electric supply, then happen to the water supply in out our three days stay.

 First incident happen after our first day,
 when we went back to our room for the evening bath after snorkeling.
There wasn't any water available , so we went to the front counter about it.
They closed the water supply at some times to enable water saving and enable it to flow through some times.
It happen then in the next morning before we head out for breakfast and also the evening as well.
We heard from others that this happen to Perhentian Island quite often but not on Redang Island.

Toilet door unable to closed which happened to 2 out of 3 rooms which we stayed.
Room phone was spoiled so we were unable to contact each others. Fyi , the line connections was quite low and the WiFi provided cannot be connected.

 The dining area.

First day, we just snorkeling around Perhentian Island (pulau perhentian besar & kecil)

Have some basic learning on the first site before heading to spot Big Sea Turtle and Coral.

 With our Captain who we called him as A-Lin.

Back to our resort and snorkeling around our chalet

And by the way, Perhentian island is a protected marine park, so fishing, collecting coral are strictly prohibited.

 The clear water~

 With some lucks you may spot some baby sharks and also stingray.

Then Captain bring us to the other side of the island for dinner. Without him , i guess we definitely will not explore this part of the island. The place where it is more happening. Walk through small path, ups and down where you will have to use your phone as torch along the pathway.

  The foods here were ok, but a little pricy.

Then we just walk back to our chalet

 to have some liquor session and some early rest as well because we will have more snorkeling spot to go the next day.
