Trip to Pulau Kapas

Continuing from the birthday dinner in the hotel, we returned back home at around 10.30pm and we decided instead of sleeping for 2-3 hours and then waking up to drive down to Terrenganu to the jeti, why not just drive all the way there earlier and we can have a slow drive.
So, upon reaching home, we packed up the remaining items and loaded everything into the car before leaving for the jeti. I was going to drive first and my father to sleep and rest so he could take over when I was tired. That was the plan.
I drove all the way till pass Kuantan and reached to a spot at around 3.30am, which I told my father I would want to swap places with him and take the co driver seat and have a nap. My father being in a natural alpha male of the pack throughout my drive to Terrenganu didn't sleep much as he was afraid of how I might fare in my driving technique as it was midnight and it was very dark in the highways.
In the end, he didn't sleep much and toke over when I asked him to. Next, all I remembered was some chatter between my mum and father while I was falling asleep and the next thing I knew was we have reached a small town to stop for a break. It was around 4 plus early in the morning and we snaped some photos before leaving for the jeti. We reached the jeti around 6 plus but decided to go to a nearby town for breakfast.
We got back to the jeti and set sailed on a boat to Kapas Island at around 11am. Upon arrival, we checked into the resort which was relatively empty as it was not a holiday period and neither was it a weekend (we reach on Sunday afternoon).
After settling down in our room, we went out to the reception area to have our lunched then lazed around the beach till 3 for our first snorkeling session.
It rained heavily that night and we slept like babies in our room after being exhausted from the drive from our house and the snorkelling session.
Next day, after having breakfast, I was to attend my discovery scuba diving session in which I was exposed to the basic techniques of scuba diving and had a chance to dive down to a depth of 10-12m.
The experience was quite nice except for the corals were pretty much dead which made the underwater scenery a little dull and boring while the irration that my ear gave me due to the pressure difference left me feeling relief when I resurfaced and climbed back on the boat.
That afternoon, we had our second snorkeling session and before dinner we had a walked around the beach till the furthest point.
Next morning, after breakfast we strolled the beach again before retreating to the room to get ready for check out.
Upon reaching back on the mainland, we went to the nearby town to have our second breakfast and to do some shopping for groceries as this place was famous for its seafood.
We reached back home around 7 plus on the 3rd of August. I had a really nice time in the beach and thanks to my parents, my dream of visiting the beach this time when I am back in Malaysia came true !
