KB's airport aka Lapangan Sultan Ismail Petra. Air Asia finally touched down at 0855hours from LCCT. Departed at 0815hours. The flight was delayed from it's actual time of taking off at 0730hours.
Passengers are eagerly waiting to claim their luggages.The airport taxi fare to Kuala Besut was costly RM70.00, so we decided to walk out of the airport area and took other cab from there. After much bargaining, the cab driver and HB finalized at RM60.00
The journey from the airport to Kuala Besut took an hour .Passed a small and narrow bridge on our way to Kuala Besut.The bridge was so narrow and only a car could pass through at a time from either direction.But another new and wider bridge on the left had started it's contruction. Oops! forgot to snap pic of it.
On the way to the Jetty, bought 5 litres of mineral water RM6.00 and three buns. HB's friend 'J' from the forum was waiting for us at the entrance of the Jetty.Apparently, HB booked the chalet and boat from 'J'.
We are the first to board the speed boat. Got ourselves a nice seating position.The speed boat will takes half an hour to reach Perhentian Island using two motors engine.The sea was calmed during the journey.
Perhentian Island's Jetty looks clean and new. After reading the date of the official opening on the board, it answered all.
Not only was the Abdul's Chalet toilet clean but very spacious too. Only there's no shampoo, body foam or bar soap supply by them. It wasn't a problem for me as I've always packed all of these items in my toiletries bag wherever I go for holidays.BTW, towels are supplied.
Paid RM180.00 for this room aka deluxe sea view.
Food in Perhentian Island are costly therefore we packed all of these food along with us.The cup noodles are for breakfast. As there wasn't any flask in the room, we paid RM1.00 per jar of hot water.
Calm and relaxing view from the balcony of the deluxe sea view in Abdul's Chalets.
Our lunch were nasi goreng malaysian style consists of an egg on top, tomyam bi hun and nasi goreng kerabu @ RM7.00. Then for the drinks , ice lemon tea @ RM5.00, can of coke and pepsi @ RM2.50
Upon reaching the Perhentian Jetty, while walking along it heading for Abdul's Chalets, this coral caught my attention. The clear water enabled me to view the corals and fishes like an eagle eyes. Later, HB told me that this coral is the biggest among all .
The Perhentian Island Jetty. Noticed PS from far feeding fishes.
I couldn't resist the nice scenery and so another shot taken from the Jetty on the Deluxe Sea View Chalets.
Got PS to be my model for the day.

Deluxe Sea View No.7 was stayed by HB,PS and I from July 17th until July 19th 2009.
When I was resting on the balcony's chair viewing out to the sea, this cute toddler playing alone got my attention.
Jetty from other side of chalet.
There's staircase leading to the JP Palace Chalets. PS and I continued with the trail while HB was doing his map tracking.
PS found a swing to sit on but only a while as we were heading for another chalet along the beach.
The end of trail along the beach. Over the other side was the shark watching area.Walked back to Abdul's Chalets to venture the other part of chalets. There are Tuna Bay, Cozy Chalet, Coral Bay and others. From Cozy Chalet, did jungle trekking over to the other side. Leading out to Coral View Resort. It was almost dark when we were on shore. Could see Coral View Resort from shore but needed to head back to Abdul's. Walked along the sea next to the rocks. The sea was calmed and tide was low.
Found lots of sea cucumbers in the water.
Corals are found over here too.
HB holding on to the sea cucumber for my pic.

Candle light dinner on the beach. Had sweet and sour baracudda @ RM12.00, Squid with sambal belacan aka Chilly squid @ RM 10.00, Vegetables curry @ RM 6.00. The curry was delicious. Also three plates of plain rice @ RM2.00 and a large bottle of mineral water @ RM3.00 Such an atmosphere reminds me of dining at Jimbaran Bay, Bali.
