The snorkelling gear purchased, and pretty much unused since the east coast of Australia is finally coming into it’s own off the beaches of the Perentian Islands. Combine that with the underwater casing for my camera means you’re going to have to put up with a few days of snorkelling photos.
The day started exploring Long Beach where our hostel is, we contemplated walking through to the next bay, but seeing as we couldn’t actually find the path, we hired a water taxi (for £3!) to take us. D’Lagoon has only one small beach and a small hostel nestled on it, and the occupants stared at us as we arrived, as though we’d interrupted their private beach. Our stay didn’t last long though, as we arrived a storm brewed up, the wind making snorkelling difficult. I did have enough time to find Nemo though, hiding away in the anemone. Fortunately as the storm settled down, a boat passed and gave us a lift back to Long Beach, just before the rain settled in for the rest of the day, there is a reason we’ve been carrying heavy reading books around after all!
