We went to Lang Tengah Island off Terengganu

As I have mentioned in my previous post, we are traveling again. This time we went to the Lang Tengah Island off the state of Terengganu, which laid side-by-side between Redang and Perhentian island. This trip was simple but filled with a lot of fun. It began on 29 March when we rent in the Redang Lang Island Resort for 3 days 2 nights. The resort was really a simple one as compared to the one that I been spending my days when I was in Pulau Redang. But somehow, chemistry makes the trip enjoyable. Simplicity can be a good thing sometime.

Staying in this resort enjoys the beautiful sea view right in front of the chalet, which is pretty attractive for me. The resort owner was kind and generous and, above all, it is worth mentioning that their guides are really friendly and helpful as well. The food served in this resort is okay if you don't expect exclusiveness. In overall, this resort is a perfect destination if you wish to take a break from the hectic life of working.

We took several snorkeling trip around the island, which is a must-do for a dedicated island traveler. Of course, as we always do, some are planned (e.g., snorkeling at the Redang marine park and round-island snorkeling trip... as included in our package) and some are so-called "private". Though discovery when snorkeling around this island was not much as those that I have met in Pulau Redang but in overall, we managed to encounter abundance of colorful fishes and soft corals (especially blue coral) near the stone area left hand side of the resort. I got my body surrounded by schools of fishes over there, which was really amazing.

Here are some photos taken during the trip, hope you enjoy it!

That's all for the time being... would like to thank Summer, Tebbie, Mike, and all other friends that we have met on the island for making the trip a wonderful one. Also, my appreciation to Ted for his Canon Ixus 60.
