Tioman I - Genting Bayu Resort

A very tired looking group upon arrival at the jetty


To be completely honest, when everyone first arrived at Tioman Island, we were hugely disappointed. Actually, disppointed would be an understatement.


We were devastated.


I think it would be safe to say that each of us thought of the same thing "What the hell did Cheryl book???"


I had taken the Genting Bayu Resort package because it was the cheapest and being well, students we were all always constantly on a budget. The whole package of 3D 2nights including an island tour, dinner, lunch & breakfast was only for rm279 sounded like an amazingly good deal!



Instead when we got there, all we saw was a malay kampung at the jeti. The beaches weren't white and sandy. There were rocky and had lots of driftwood on the shore. To make matters worse, it wasn't exactly a 'clear sunny day'.....

Our 'resort' was about 15 mins walk from the jetty

rooms were kinda depressing looking too



But we all decided to make the best of things and hope for better weather later in the day so we went around exploring..... and found out the island actually had loads of things to do!

The guys found out that we could actually use the fishermen's boats to play with!

Zhen is on the sinking end......

It was obviously doomed to capsize.....



And yes, you've probably noticed from the pictures that the water is very very very shallow coz it was high tide. I also saw no point of there being a boat since the water could only reach our knees. LOL!!!

Zhen is loving his Crocs

Damn I should have painted my toes!! (I am wearing the heart slipper)



After giving up on boat-rowing we started to do cam-slutting.
