After an intensive quarter of number chasing, I was dying for a break .. any break & the 1st opportunity I got was the long easter weekend. A bunch of us gals, decided to head out to Aur for a lil getaway.
Many islands in Malaysia have the perfect ingredients to be tropical paradises: crystal clear waters, clean powdery sands, swaying palms, and sunny skies. Pulau Aur is definitely among them; far from the maddening crowd, the island offers opportunities to explore underwater havens or just to laze around. Pulau Aur has unusual scenic beauty, with secluded lagoons and offshore pools that make it an idyllic destination to get away from it all.
I think we were pretty lucky with our dives (did 6 in total):
The bo chap turtle
The ugly moray eel
The blue spotted ray
Dive bud Jac & Lynnie
There were sightings of black tip shark, yellow fin tuna, barracudas, gigantic hump head parrot fish, manta rays (which we didn't get to see) and buah yas (I kid you not!)
We had 3 days of eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, drink, sleep, eat, dive ... the food was good, the accomodation was decent (except for the fact that we had to climb like kazillion steps to get to our lil shed) and the weather was awesome. I got my lil getaway with 3 great friends and a pocket full of memories :)
