| The snorkeling off the islands were the best we've ever experienced! |
We made our way to Malaysia and were taken back by what we discovered. The capital of Kuala Lumpur was an extremely modern and diverse city. We had fun exploring and were in awe of the skyscrapers and fast paced life. We then made our way to a remote island off the east coast of Malaysia. The Perhentian Islands meaning 'stopping point islands' were used as a resting stop for traders in the South China sea. The Perhentians, made up of two islands, Perhentian Kecil (small) and Perhentian Besar (Big). We stayed on the smaller more remote island known for its backpacker vibe. There were no roads on the island, only walking trails and beaches. We had to venture by speed boat for 35 mins from the coast to reach the island. It was an awesome place and we would highly recommend Malaysia for any type of travel. It is full of history, culture, amazing food, wonderful metropolitan cities and tropical islands. We fell in love with the people of Malaysia! They were very welcoming and made our memories special. Enjoy.
