After Penang, we took an overnight bus to Terrengganu, from where we hopped on a speedboat to the beautiful Perhentian Island. The islands aren't that crowded, at least when we went, which was a plus. We had a few areas to ourselves while we were there. If you're traveling to Malaysia, the Perhentian Pulau is a must.
We also rented an underwater camera for when we went snorkeling (Note: Some of those photographs are taken by my brother).I touched this sea turtle!
