Paradise Day 2

Joke of the day:
An old lady calls her husband while he is driving home from a round of golf....

Old Lady: Earl, please be careful driving home. There is some lunatic driving the wrong way on the freeway right now! It's all over the news!

Earl (also old): One lunatic?! There's a million of them!

Activity of the day:
Cruising around Pangkor in a rented motorbike. (They drive on the left side of the road here).

I also sat on the beach for a long while today! As the tide came up the employees of the adventure watersports companies kept having to reposition their boats, jet skis, etc. They would wade out to the craft, take it out to the middle of the bay, and then shoot as fast and straight as they could back towards shore, lifting their outboard at the last possible moment. Each time they did this they gained a few precious feet in their never ending battle against the ocean.

There is not much else that I can say about this place... it is gorgeous, enjoy the photos!

1) Corporate retreat playing tug of war... note the head scarves!
2) The watersports companies also had larger boats that they anchored in deeper water.

3) An old dutch fort on the south end of the island.


4) My hog for the day.

5) Low tide on the north end of the island.
