A top place..selling some interesting drinks ??? Unfortunately we had 6 yes Six hours in a car to Mersing.. On our way to Tioman island that mum visited 20 years ago.. Methinks a lot will have changed & not all for the greater good!! Went past swathes of rainforest that have been cleared to plant Palm trees for palm oil ..
