The adventure starts when we leave home on Thursday, 2/07/09 at 4AM (so that we can reach Mersing & catch the ferry by 10.30AM)
BY CAR - you take highway to BANGI-SEREMBAN-MELAKA-exit at AYER ITAM - KLUANG the road leads to Kluang is very zig zagging and if you cannot take the ride better go by air to Tioman. I pitty little boy, lucky that he wasn't moody on the road and fell to sleep after complaining of drowsy .. and I almost throw out ..
When we arrived at Mersing there's no proper signage to the jetty & human factor make it more displeased as people do not que to go on board.. just potong line.. the freaking ferry (bluewater express) DOES NOT DEPART ON TIME -- when it says 10.30am it is only ready to board by 11.00AM and really sailing by 11.30 AM. The ferry pick up travellers at a few stops before reaching TEKEK where Berjaya resort is located. we reached tekek by 1.30PM check in by 2.00PM.. had lunch & take a nap.. guess what time we woke up..7PM... wat a waste of ½day activity..the travelling time on the road & on the ferry.. IT DRAINS OUT MOST OF OUR TIME & ENERGY..
My experience in Tioman Island, to me Tioman is relatively undevelop island, there are almost no road at Tekek except at the Jetty area and a few kilometers to Berjaya resort. Surprisingly Tioman is a DUTY FREE ZONE, means items like cigarette & alcohol is cheap here but the interior and exterior decor of the duty free shop doesn't look so intimidating or inviting to spurlge plus selection of items are very limited.. I bought a cow boy hat for RM28 (of which in KL can cost RM50++) and a batik sarong for RM15.. ok la.. husband bought 1 pack of Dunhill cigarettes..
Here are some snaps of our 1st day adventure..
