Last days in Malaysia - Pulau Tioman

I finally arrived in Singapore. I am here for about 6 days now.
But first to catch up with the last stop of my trip – Pulau Tioman. It was very beautiful – but in a different way to the Perhentian Islands. Much bigger and also more crowded with more resorts, more the chalet type for budget travelling, the beaches were pretty though more rocky, but you could hike to some very isolated and sandy ones. The water was great – warm and blue with lots of things to see when snorkeling. But the highlight of the island really was the jungle which started right behind the beach and was almost untouched. I met a girl in my dorm and we did one day of hiking. It was steep and a rough walk up and down a tiny path you really had to look out for, and sometimes we had to climb rocks because it was still such a pure untouched piece of nature. so I didn’t bring my big and heavy camera, unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the day as well. Only the memories in my head. hiking through the jungle was an adventure and relaxing meditation at the same time. It was quiet and you were all on your own. But since the jungle is never quiet, there were all these noises – birds, insects, the wind through the leaves, monkeys… that was the most fun and impressive part: you could see animals in their wild life and true surroundings, getting along perfectly without any interference of humans. So we meet lizards, were surrounded by lots of colorful butterflies, huge ants, monkey families up in the trees and of course lots n lots of mosquitos. We were dropping wet and boiling, but it was great and in the end we were rewarded with a gorgeous desolated sandy beach and a great coral reef to snorkel.
