Tuesday 19 August

The coast road to Kuantan
A bad night's sleep for me, Then we overslept. We had an average breakfast at Primula Beach, with rather poor service. We were just ready to leave when William arrived. We had a long drive ahead to Kuantan, down the coast road.



We passed fishing villages, crossed rivers and saw offshore islands. Highlight of the journey was a visit to a Turtle Sanctuary where we saw young Hawksbill, Ridley and Green turtles as well as newly hatched babies.

Then we had a Malay lunch of fish, squid, vegetables and white rice with water. We arrived at the Swiss Garden beach hotel soon afterwards. After resting, we went for a swim in the pool. As there were no restaurants nearby, we had dinner at the hotel bar - a tuna sandwich and chips with a glass of white wine - lovely! Asian food can get a bit sickly after a while.
