Tioman, Malaysia

From KL, we traveled to Tioman, a big island lying about 40 Km off the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Tioman was discovered as a holiday destination quite some time ago. It was the setting for the supposedly mythical magical island of Bali Hai from the 1958 Hollywood movie 'South Pacific'. In the 70s the Time magazine selected Tioman as one of the world's most beautiful islands.

Our flight on Berjaya air was memorable as we had to wait in airport for 4 hrs while they "worked" on the plane.


Then as we traveled to Tioman, the cabin began to smoke. Beth found this amusing!


We arrived on the island and



we were taken to our hotel...
