May 26 -Tioman Island- Jungle walk to the East side of the island. Approximately 7km each way. The walk was unbelievably beautiful. We saw Black Giant Squirrels and heard all kinds of exotic sounding birds. As soon as we arrived at the beach a light rain turned into a monsoonal down poor. We shored up in a restaurant and sipped tea waiting for it to pass for an hour and half.

After the rain we discovered the viability from the end of the pier was easily 20 meters or more all the way to the bottom of the ocean. We could see huge schools of fish. Next we walked to a turtle conservation operation. We checked out the blind turtle they have and headed up a trail to a waterfall.

I figured the falls would be in good form due to all the rain. After hiking 35 minutes in the jungle we arrived at the creek. Which had swollen due to the rain and consumed the rest of the trail to the falls. We headed back not having time to bushwhack through the jungle. A family ran into us heading up the trail and we discussed the colorful snakes we've been seeing on the trail.

On the walk back we chose a different route and eat dinner in Tekek.
