Back to Pulau Redang

Two weeks ago we traveled from sleepy Terengganu to even sleepier Pulau Redang again. We stayed at a much less expensive resort than the first trip. It was on a long coast of beach surrounded by coral. The resort offered snorkeling at a marine park conservation, filled with natural reefs and fish tucked back in one of the island's inlets. Schools of fish swam right against me, one even bite my toe. There was also a huge Moray Eel living in the reef, revealing 4 ft of its massive body at one point.
As the sun set, the moon rose up from the water. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. At night, the jungle around us came to life. We could see giant bats flying around and hear monkeys playing in the trees.
It's truly a gorgeous and exotic place.


Random, tiny island on the way to Redang.

Ahhhh... beach.



Sunset.


Passing clouds made a keyhole for the low moon. The light became a spot on the water.
