Tioman Island, Malaysia

We decided that we needed a trip to a tropical island this time too, and landed on the island Tioman. This time we booked through an agency, to make it easier. The bus went from Fare East Plaza at 06.30 in the morning, and jetty from Mersing at noon (which was delayed) and I think we arrived the island around 2 o'clock - a looong trip! Anne-Siri had a upset stomach, so the trip was even worse for her..... (No toilet on the bus!)
This was the rooms we had the first day. In the back you can see Thomas and Phillip feeding the fish. Because the low fences and lack of fences around the 2 m. deep pond, dad and mom was not relaxing at all......... Got to switch room the next day!
The gang is already on the beach. The water was really nice, but with the tide all the dead corrals made it difficult to swim.
Phillip enjoys the sand. He ended up burring moms sandals......
The boys are looking for fish. They were not easy to catch, just ask daddy, but hi manage to get one. There was a lot of "life" in the sand on the beach - the kids really enjoyed that!
Here one can see the dead corals.... We didn't bring proper shoes for the kids (stone fish around), so there was no playing in between the rock.
