Tioman

Having had two months since our last holiday, we felt it was high time for another one so we headed off to Pulau Tioman in Malaysia. It's a lovely island off the east coast of Malaysia. The coral is fabulous, close to the surface and the visibility is excellent - you don't really need to scuba dive to the see great stuff under the sea here - a snorkle mask will do you just fine.

The wildlife above ground is great too: lizards of all sizes, fireflies, giant squirrels (it does what it says on the tin: the tails alone are about two foot long), all kinds of butterflies and birds and wild monkeys (although Eve was disappointed to be looking the wrong way when they appeared).

The piece de resistance is the fact that there is a jetty next to the airport and you get off the plane (which had a cassette player!), hop on a boat and it takes you to the beach where you are staying. We've got a beach hut looking straight on to the sea.
