Perhentian Besar, Malaysia

We spent a week in the Perhentian Islands.  The island that we stayed on was called Perhentian Besar.  It was the biggest island.  This was the view we had every single day for a whole week!  We went snorkling, we read books, we hung around, we played with some people that we met.

When we were snorkling we saw many different kinds of fish.  There were parrot fish, which are very colorful, and there were clown fish (like Nemo!) who were always inside sea anemones.  The clown fish were my favorite kind of fish that I saw.  The coral reef was very near the shore and very big.  Even the sand was covered with coral.

At night there was always a beautiful sunset.  Here is one of the sunsets that we saw:

We saw lots of crabs on Perhentian Besar.  The crabs are very different from the crabs in Rockport.  Some of the crabs live in holes they dig in the sand.  You can see the holes all over the beach.  Here is a picture of a crab:

In the harbor there are lots and lots of fishing boats.   The fishing boats are very colorful and each one has at least 3 different colors.  Here is a picture of a fishing boat:

Our week on the Perhentian Island was super duper fun!
