I was here when I was 11

This place is known as Kampung Ayer Batang, Pulau Tioman. My parents and I were here when I was 11 years old, we stayed at Nazri's Place I.

This trip was proposed when we (Kapten, Jaq, Fauzi and Dee) were having a very good seafood dinner at Kuala Sungai Baru (if I'm not wrong, it was at the end of last year). Unfortunately, Nazri's Place I was fully booked by a bunch of jokers from Kiasuland. We had no choice except to go ahead with the plan and stayed in Nazri's Place II (not too bad tho, in fact, it was kinda excellent to me *try sleeping in a sleeping bag on a carry mat on a bare ground with sky as your ceiling, then you'll appreciate what Nazri's Place has to offer*).



It was great fun - boating experience, beautiful scenery, easy peaceful kampung environment, excellent hospitality from Kak Ita (chalet owner) and the local people, great pancakes, karipap and teh tarik overlooking the beach served by an unofficial chubby waitress from Seattle, simple but nice meals and many more. I wished I was not reachable, surprisingly, the island was well service connected with 3G (so much of blissful peace for me, ahaks).



So did the kid - they snorkeled all day long at Pulau Tulai and Marine Park, they had a chat among themselves at the chalet's verandah until 11.30 pm, they could choose to dive into the beach or river (which connected to the sea).

Many thanks to Jag, Kapten, Fauzi and Zahir and families who have made this happened!!! Lets do this again guys!
