redang trip

this is my long postponed review of my recent trip to redang island. i got many things going on and hence for the delay.

took a 3 days 2 nights package costs rm320 at redang reef resort. arranged the agent to pick up from bus station in kuala terengganu at rm5/way. on the day of departure, took a bus from pudu bus station which costs rm35/way. bus left at 10pm and reached kuala terengganu at 5.30am. our tour agent picked us up at 6.30am but you would not be alone at the bus station for there were many others, locals and travellers alike. the driver, mr.chua picked several others too and we headed to the agent's office. we were told to wash and freshen up ourselves and had our breakfast at a nearby eatery. the office was situated in kuala terengganu's chinatown. at 9am, the driver took up to the jetty to board the ferry. actually the ferry was not far from the bus station. if you asked around, you would not have trouble finding the jetty.

the sea condition was quite rough and i was seasick. but it all disappeared as soon as i saw the clear, blue water of redang. god, it was so beautiful! the water is just so clear! with its white sand and breezy wind, redang is really a paradise!
the ferry ride took about 2 hours. we were not directly brought to the main island by the ferry. it stopped middle of the ocean and our resort's boat picked us up. then it took another 10 minutes before we finally reached redang.

walked about 5 minutes from the redang jetty to redang reef resort. we have to walk passed through laguna resort and then a small bridge among the rocks to reach our resort.
upon our arrival, we were briefed by steven, the resort's supervisor on our schedule and dos and don'ts.
the room was satisfactory. it didn't have a tv, which you won't need as you were there to enjoy the scenery and not tv programmes, right? it was clean except for the sands found on the bed. did they wash the bed sheets?

went for a snorkelling trip in the afternoon. you have to rent the life jacket and mask at rm10/piece. this was the first time i ever snorkelled in my entire life and it was quite an experience i must say. what more for a non-swimmer like me. you could see the reefs and fishes swimming around!
i felt like watching a national geographic programme except this time, i was watching it live!

the next day went for another snorkelling trip at the marine park. the entry fee is rm5. the reefs were even more beautiful here and there were more fishes too. some of us fed breads to the fished and it was a sight to behold when the fishes jumping around trying to eat the pieces of bread.
at night you could experience beach discos. there were many along the long strip of beach of pasir panjang. hopped from a disco to another.

gosh, i wish i could live in redang. really love the beach and sound of the waves. maybe if i were rich, i could build my own house here and live with the fishes happily ever after. :D
