It was time for the most interesting event during this trip - a boat ride around Nipah Bay and a visit to Pulau Giam ("pulau" means island in Malay).

After waiting for the boatmen to get ready their boats, I was soon breaking the waves around Nipah Bay.

Later, the boatmen took us to Pulau Giam, an island north of Nipah Bay. We were supposed to do some snorkelling on this island, but it was crowded with people. However, we did go down the sea just like other people.
