30-08-2019 Bong & His First Trip to Besar Island...

After 4 busy days of meeting
friends and families,
we started part two of our trip...
traveling to the south~
We took an early Transnational bus
from Bandar Tasik Selatan
and the bus stopped for a quick lunch break
at somewhere before
Bandar Tun Abdul Razak...
The whole journey wasn't super interesting
so we slept quite a lot in the bus.
After almost 6 hours' ride,
we arrived at Mersing bus station.
Yeay! 
From the bus station,
it took us 10 minutes
to walk to the 'hotel' we had booked
for one night overnight...
The hotel was simple
and you get what you pay for.
We went for an early dinner at this
Fong Kopitiam...
Good food,
good price...
and after the dinner,
we walked a bit in the neighbourhood...
We came to
Mersing Harbour Centre...
and found out that
most of the shops there were closed
after 5pm...
We woke up the next morning,
started the hunt for good chinese breakfast...
We came to this mural street,
then the roundabout
and saw this noodle stall....
At the roundabout,
there is this beautiful chinese temple...
豐盛港福順廟
And beside the temple
is this nice indian temple
Kuil Sri Subramaniam.
On our way back the hotel,
we discovered this very yummy
handmade

We had to stop at this
99 Speedmart as well,
because...
surprisingly they do sell red wine to pretty good price!
We came to the jetty
(Mersing Jetty Interconnection To Tioman Island)
a bit earlier
and wanted to buy fridge magnet for Pulau Besar and Mersing.
With lots of effort,
finally we found one with Mersing,
but not Pulau Besar.
Most fridge magnets sold there are for Tioman island.
Our boat (to the left)
departed on time....
and it was a pretty rocky ride!
The waves were really scary
and the boat was rocking like crazy!
After 30 minutes,
we arrived at Pulau Besar...
Starting from there,
we got super good service,
from welcome drinks
to luggage pick-up and delivery to our room...
We had our first lunch
with sea view...
To be continued....

XOXO
