In order to get to Pulau Tioman, I had to first get a bus to Mersing.The ride to Mersing was painful, painful in the sense that I was hoping to fall asleep to a DVD but instead was kept awake by the WWF be played on the telly.The Malaysian guys on the bus, men of 35+, where as eager for the 'sport' as I was at the age of 10.Hooting and clapping at the screen; it was a painful journey.I was supposed to arrive in Mersing at 8.30am, in time for the ferry at 9.30am.B...

So with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs in my system, not to mention Valium still in pumping through my veins, we headed to the bea...

Well it's been a while since i last updated this and that's been due to having the wrist strapped up but i'll cover that alongwith some other dilemmas along the way. On the 17th i caught a bus to Koh Samui, obviously with the aid of a boat also.

Just realised that i wrote 'this last year' without ...
