On feb,3 we arrived in the village Kudah Besut. This should be the starting point for the Perhention islands. Someone had tipped this place for us.
Alas the waves were too high, so there where no ferries to the islands. We met Vivian Ananda from a travel agency in a small chinese tea-house, and he promised us to get a fisher boat on sunday to go to the islands.
And he managed to charter a boat. The start was a quit trip over the river, Buying food for the people who were on the island, and couldn't get away. They were stuck there for 6 days already.
Then the party goes on, On a very rough sea with waves up to 3 meters sitting on top of the fisher boat.
In a few hours we reached Pulau Kechil (= small Island), and I can say, If there is a paradise on earth, then it's here! We were glad we'd made it, but is was it worth!
On the Island we stayed in the 'Moonlight Resort' 
(owned by Mohd Khalik Mohd Noor and his family) for a week. I can recommend the place. Friendly people, a very quit beach (at least that period). I can give more information if you want.
There are also people who arrived here, and stayed (maybe forever).
Here is someone from England who his making the new restaurant 'floor'.
And imagine this. Just sitting on the terrace, with some juice (there is no alcool) watching over the sea. I wished I'd never have to leave that place.
BUT.... We want to see more, and left on the next saturday. This time by "normal" ferry.
This is just a start of this page. I've plenty of pictures, but I need time to scan them :(
