Bastian had the spontenous idea to do a day trip to Pulau Rawa. We heard a lot about the beautiful small island in Malaysia, so we decided on Friday night to organize the trip for the following day. We contacted a driver that picked us up at 4am the next morning!!! I was still sceptical, if we could make it to Malaysia and back to Singapore in one day. But you will see... The driver brought us to Johor Bahru, a small town at the border of Malaysia. From there, another cab drove us to Mersing, a little fishing town which is also better known as a jumping-off point to the half dozens of islands near it. With a small speed boat, we finally arrived at Pulau Rawa. 
The journey was pretty exhausting and adventorous, so was it really worth it ????
Once we arrived at the island, there were no doubts: This is one of the most beautiful islands I have ever seen: Stretches of white sugary sand, secluded beaches, crystal-clear green water and swaying palm fronds offering cooling shades.
Cristal-clear water and white, powdery sand.
Impression of the island:
Bastian and I enjoyed a wonderful day at the beach.
There are just two little hotels and one restaurant at the beach, but the food was surprisingly good :O)
We will definitely come back to Rawa. It was just like in paradise!!!
