Pulau Redang

Had a yoga free week last week. Partly due to watching the World Cup, but mostly because I took the family to Pulau Redang for a short holiday. I must add Berjaya does a great holiday package to its resort in Redang. First, Berjaya Air leaves from Subang airport, which is great because of its proximity to our house - took us 20 minutes to the airport. Flight leaves at 8am. After a 10 minute check in, we have choices of places for breakfast at this fabulously renovated Subang airport.










Flight to Redang took slightly less than an hour on this plane.



And then a short 10 minute bus ride to the resort. We were literally in our room by 9.45am. And we have the whole day to do as we please. No waiting - just wake up, left the house at 6.40am, and unpacked at the resort before 10am.

On the last day, flight time is 3.30pm. Bus leaves resort at 2.30pm, so we still have the whole morning to swim or snorkel before checking out. We were home just after 5pm. Logistically, it worked out so well.

The beach at the Resort has white sands and clear water. There are some corals near the beach with a floating pontoon nearby. We had a great time snorkelling to the pontoon. Equipped with a bottle of fish food, it was simply magic to see so many fishes up close. It would have been great to have an underwater camera.










Caught sight of a huge turtle at Turtle Bay. When it raise its head from the sea water, it really has the look of a Loch Ness Monster. I was hesitant to snorkel to where it was. Oh, and the sound your own breath while snorkelling is so similar to ujjayi breathing.

Whilst the holiday has work out so well for us, alas the World Cup has not work out as well for England. This picture sums out the status of the England team.
