Cherating

On Friday morning we took a bus from KL(after an amazing buffet breakfast, everything from eggs to french toast to corn flakes to coconut rice with curry chicken....the man was amazed at how much food we could eat) to Kuantan on the east coast. Then took a public bus for a few hours to a little town called Cherating. We had no idea what to expect when we arrived, but we couldn't be more pleased!!

Surfing is not big in Malaysia, and there are only a few spots you can surf and for only a few months a year during the monsoon season which we are right in the middle of. We found a room with two beds for only 25 RM (Malaysian Ringgit) night, works out to be about $7.50.....for both of us!! Mind you it's pretty basic and kind of gross, but I've gotten used to it and it honestly doesn't seem that bad. Rented surf boards at the only surf shop in Malaysia and have had an awesome time. I think this place is a vacation area for Malay people, but it's pretty dead right now because of all the rain, I think it's perfect!
