Travel diary
Southern Pasir Panjang beach in 2001 showing original More More Tea Inn on the left and Redang Beach Resort on its right.
For us, memories of our island trips are best captured in pictures and in words especially since we should not take away any marine life as souvenirs from these protected marine parks. However, photos and words only capture in a limited way the artistic beauty of God's wonderful creation. The natural beauty of these islands and their underwater paradise are best experienced up-close and personal. For those of you who've been to these islands, we hope that reading these trip diaries will stir up fond memories of your own visit.
