Had a great start to the summer in the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia. Got my scuba license which was fun/scary. Breathing underwater is very surreal. Especially when you go down about 18 meters. We saw a sea turtle and blue-spotted stingrays and dozens of fish. The clown fish is definitely my favorite. The island is virtually empty as there are only about 100 people on the entire island. No roads, so no cars or bikes or anything. Just walking from one beach to the next. It was a perfect place to learn to scuba as there were hardly any waves and very clear water. You could do shore dives or boat dives, but the boat dives were only about 5 minutes away so you weren't stuck on a boat all day. It's Malaysia so there isn't beer everywhere. There was a guy who sold beer in his cooler on the beach. Turns out he was not only the beer guy, but also the boat guy who drove us to our dive spots each day.
I loved this monkey. Yes, he was on a leash.
After 3 days of scuba diving, this is the way to relax.
