Tioman Island -Stranded on Monkey Bay
25.05.2006
Went snorkeling at monkey bay today with two friends I have met Martin and Rory. It was amazing Crystal clear water and tropical coloured fish swimming around me. THere brave too.... some were meeting me nose to nose. I think i was more scared than the poor little fishys.
The tide came in and we couldnt walk from Monkey bay 2 to Monkey bay 1 so we were stranded on this little bay. It started to rain heavy so we decided to walk through the jungle. I was in flip flops and a bikini. Id say not the best gear for jungle treking. In the jungle were monkeys (which i have developed a little fear of since the biting in Bali!) poisionous snakes, spiders, Leech among other things that I didn't dare think about.
This is a photo of the better part of the path were it was not over grown.
It is so over grown we couldn't see which way the path was going. At one stage i did think we were going to be spending the night in the jungle.
An hour and half of sipping and sliding in the rain trying to climb the path, I finally reach civilization I was covered in muck from head to toe soaked through and dehydrated. What fun!
