I spent two amazing days on Pulau Tioman (it was supposed to be three days but the tides screwed up my plans). The first day we went snorkeling in a bunch of different areas near the island. I got extremely burned, but only on my backside since I was face down the entire time. I couldn't figure out why I got so burned when I was reapplying sunscreen so often, and then I realized my sunscreen wasn't waterproof. Oops. Let the peeling begin!

The second day we hiked across the island to Juara Beach. It was a good five miles through the jungle, and I can honestly say that was the sweatiest I've ever been in my life. My clothes were completely soaked through, and I was still dripping sweat. The jungle was so dense that the heat was completely trapped and there was no breeze at all (and very little light). Still, the hike was worth it. Juara is a beautiful beach, and we saw lots of animals along the way.

monitor lizard...these guys are all over the island
Juara Beach...South Pacific was filmed here. I can see why.
