The beach looked quite lovely in the morning and was great to see the sea but we were disappointed that there was so much litter on the beach.
Relaxing on the beach was a great way to start the holiday. After checking into a room at around 10 am we got a taxi into Kuantan town - at a cost of 35 ringgit (about $15). We were hanging out for a yummy coffee and found a Starbucks.
This is the view from our hotel bedroom window. It certainly made the resort look lovely and it was just that it was a bit run down but then it was very cheap so we aren't complaining.
We did find this lovely little bar at the beach front...it was well Worth the short walk down there to partake a few g & t's and ales.
The Hermit crabs were everywhere at this part of the beach.
This is my favourite photo for the moment...the sun was just in the right place for the cloud. What do you think?
Cherating Beach was beautiful. The sand was clear and the water was too. There was some rubbish but not as much.
We hired a car and drove up the Cherating and then through some palm oil plantations. One of the highlights was getting to see some turtles at the Turtle Sanctuary. We couldn't get over how beautiful the markings were.
Besarah Beach is where you see the beautiful coloured boats. We heard that use bullocks to pull the fish baskets and nets off the beach. Unfortunately we didn't see this.
Palm oil is a big industry in Malaysia, you see plantations all over the place...a bit like our pine forests back home.
These are the seeds that they process for the oil...much bigger than what we thought they would be like.
