Pulau Perhentian Kecil

So I’ve been here for close to a week and I’ve accomplished just about nothing. I guess I’ve sort of learned to relax here but I can’t say that definitively. Those wacky European girls and their swimming attire (or lack thereof) tend to get me worked up. Nevertheless, I have, on more than one occasion, fallen asleep under the shade of a coconut tree (not directly under, mind you, a fractured skull is not on my list of things to do on this trip) and I think that alone is well worth it. I've also lost track of what day it is.

The most memorable moment here happened a few nights ago when I walked along the beach, with nothing but the moon and a few distant shops to light my way, stars flooding the sky, no cars or motorbikes to distract. Just me, the water, maybe some bitty crabs. I’m finding it extremely difficult to document the moment because neither words nor pictures can fully describe it.

I’m running out of cash and there are no ATMs here. I’ll have to leave this all behind very soon.
