From Penang we took the bus to the Perhentian Islands. Theoretically a chance to kick back for a couple days, it led to some very scary moments.

This picture was taken in the bus on our way from Penang to Kota Bharu.

Food hawkers stalls in Kota Bahru.

We should have stuck to just eating McDonalds.

Tacky ain't reserved for Vegas! This is right beside the night market in Kota Bahru. Oops, this was supposed to be a slide show about the Perhentian Islands, wasn't it. Next...

This was our chalet in the Perhentian Islands. We stayed at the Coral View Island Resort in Pular Perhentian. It wasn't really a resort, but it was nice enough. The food though, was another story. We both got very bad food poisoning as a result of eating on this island.

The Coral View's beach was nothing to speak of, but just round the corner (with a series of questionably maintained boardwalks leading to it) was the Perhentian Island Resort where we spent most of our time swimming. This was more like it!
