Last month me, my hubby with his two friends went to Redang Island for 4 days 3 nights. We left Kl at midnight and drove all the way to Merang Jetty. It was quite a tough drive but was not too bad. We stopped few times for petrol, toilet and to get some early breakfast (Roti Canai and Teh Tarik). We arrived at the Jetty around 8 am.
Our first day of the trip did not start that well . We first had to wait for an hour and a half for the tide to come in. It was a little bit annoying as we had a long night driving from KL to Merang. We left the jetty at around 10.30am and were looking forward to be at the island. On the way to the island one of the boat engine seemed to be not working. As a result we had to change to another boat which was slightly slower than the speed boat. The situation did not get any better, we were then stopped by the marine police and were asked to fill up our details. The boat was hot and the waves did not make me feel good. After all the incidents we then continued our journey to the island. Despite all the troubles we had to face throughout the journey, we were so happy and glad as we were reaching the island. The warmth and smiley staffs welcoming us to the island have changed our mood for the day. We decided to just have a relaxing day and rejuvenated from the trip to get ready for tomorrow.
Second Day:
My husband and his friends decided to go for the first snorkeling trip in the morning. They prepared themselves after the breakfast and were excited to get started with it. I chose not to go as I do not really like to be in a water (because of one past incident). So, I just decided to stay on the beach reading magazines. It was really relaxing and peaceful with the breeze from the sea and the sound of the waves. My husband and his friends came back after an hour and a half snorkeling trip and they were so thrilled with the new experienced. They saw a big turtle, Nemo, coral reefs and other nice looking fish. We then stayed on the beach the whole day and went for a dip in the sea every now and then. We ended our second day on the island by having nice cocktails drinks from a bar in one of the resorts on the island (Laguna Redang).
