We made the big and extreemly cheap trip from Singapore to Mersing today despite the fact that it's monsoon season and everything we read warned against traveling to the east coast of malaysia... the thought of a deserted island paradise was just too much to pass up!

We took the singapore public bus to Johor Bahru using our totally niffty pre-paid swipe cards and though we only had $0.90 left they got us all the way to the bus interchange through two customs posts. then we simply found the booth labled Mersing and bought our onward tickets. We had a Two hour wait at the bus interchange but that was no problem cause we were hungry and there was plenty to eat. Nick... if you're reading this you be proud to know our first meal in malaysia was Mee Goreng :) a massive plate for less than a dollar!

when we arrived in Mersing the last ferry to Tioman Island had left so after booking tickets for out "resort" accommodation we checked out the beach (crappy) and listened to the music coming from the mosque on the top of the hill.

later Nathan ate a whole fish while it stared at him from the plate. talk about flexitarian! tomorrow... our island paradise!

Lot's of love
