Where I stayed

Budget Beach Resort

Flag of Malaysia Teluk Nipah, Perak, Malaysia
Monday, April 12, 2010

We spent most of the five days here horizontal sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and of course sleeping. We stayed in a place called Budget Beach Resort in Teluk Nipah. This aircon, immaculate bungalow is less than 50 metres from the beach and has been a peaceful retreat after Kuala Lumpur.

Pangkor island is beautiful, only 8 square kms with a lush jungle interior and white sandy beaches scattered all around the fringes. We have seen eagles, hornbills, monkeys and iguanas. Marja even claims to have seen a whale while on a very early morning beach walk (which is now getting the locals talking as no-one has ever seen a whale in these parts before). I reckon she has had a little too much sun.

All in all the time in Malaysia has been wonderful and although we only travelled round a couple hundred kms, we've been so surprised at how green and beautiful Malaysia is. The time here has deffinately been like a holiday before the serious travelling starts in China.

Unfortunately we haven't managed to upload any photos yet, but will do asap.
