Kapas Island
Daddy, help me
A traffic jam
You look so self conscious
These are all the people going back again
Welcome to Kapas
ladies and gentlemen
I think it's that way about 6 min walk
There's something nice here as well
There's a couple of resorts here
OH
and ... and
some
ass
There's a couple of resorts
... and some bum
On Google Maps it shows
it's that way
but we have noticed that some of
the places on google maps
are way out. For instance
Butterfly resort we almost got
off on the wrong side of
the island because of Google Maps
so always
make sure
you know where you're going and you tell them
the exact name
This is the other
side of Kapas
There's actually a jetty here
or pier
Beautiful beaches
Crystal clear water
Today's probably not a day
to show crystal clear water
It's a bit clouded
Overcast
but
we are here for two days so
maybe tomorrow or later this afternoon
we'll get a better
shot of the beach
This is Koko restaurant
Apparently the food is divine
but you have to bring food with
while you wait for your food
This is Koko bar
Beach Bar, Koko beach bar
RM10 for Carlsberg
The only beer they have
It is so beautiful here and the sunset is just amazing
I think it is
Just look at that
Then you have these two
They're gonna break this hangmat
No, Megan, enough
No, no thanks
I'm
on Kapas island
and I'm navigating
from where we stay in the east...western side
to the eastern side
Actually wanna see if I can get some nice
sunrise photos
It's still early but
tracking through this jungle
seems to be more
difficult than I thought
so it's about a kilometre's walk
and
if it was just a simple path
I should've been there by now
but
it's not that simple
It is tricky, you
get
or you loose the path every now and again
They do have these ropes
but at places like these
they don't have the ropes anymore and
sometimes the ropes
lead to a dead end and you have to
go back and find the right
path
but I'm doing
my best to see if I can get the sunrise
if there is a sunrise
at all
in this place of the world
in this time of the year. You never know
As you're starting to hear
the ocean and you think you're there
you're presented by this
and I guess you have to
go down there. There's some
There you go, there's some steps there
and then you have to navigate
through this small little river
I've been walking next to it
all the way from the top
and on the other side
But this side it's a river
On the other side at least it's dry
So, I finally made it
Coming all through, over all these
boulders
You get presented
by this. You still have to navigate
a couple of obstacles with your flip flops
which by
default
is a challenge
because these things are so slippery
Especially when they get wet. You fall on
normal tiles
Well, now we know why this side
has no life. It's uninhabited
Rough seas, rough terrain
and from
Southeast Asia perspective
the sea here is quiet rough
I know it's nothing compared
to the open oceans
but for this part of the world
that's the worst I've seen
which is quite nice, in a way
Don't expect any nice restaurants
or tourists here
I believe this side of the island
is like the second page of Google
The unknown
I missed the sunrise by
a good 10-15 minutes
On the eastern side of
Malaysia the sun comes up at about
06:54am
in the mornings not
08:30am as in the western side
So this it for the
eastern side of the island
There's a sun and that's basically it
You can if you really really dare
walk over these
rocks
up to there. From there I don't see
that you would be able to go any further
There's a nice little cave. It might be interesting
I'm not sure, I saw it on
the drone footage
but I can't see any further than that
And then
the shore is going that side to
the northern side. There's the open
place to walk. You will not be able
to get further than
there about. If you're
lucky, to that point, but that's it
From the drone footage
right at the end, it's beautiful
It's very rocky and
that's where the island ends and just
after that is another island with a resort
on.
Just behind this corner
it's beautiful. It's a
beautiful coastline
with high cliffs
There's my path back to
civilisation
The walkway was done nicely
at the lowest point so you don't have
to cross any high mountains like here or
high hills
There's still a tiny
bit of uphill but nothing serious
The last stretch is a bit
difficult and challenging
but the first stretch, quite easy
It's me, challenging
some scary obstacles with flip flops
Once I look past the view
I can see
the walkway is going up here. So maybe I must go
check quickly. I think it leads you to the top
and that's also
where the most beautiful part is of
this side of the island. Let's go and have a look
Up here
right on the cliff
there's dense bush all the way
to the end, so you can't really get a view
To Berakit, that's where I came from
I guess this is a circular route
Hopefully it leads me back
to the other side
On this island you can see they're trying
Do your duty to keep nature a beauty
which is very nice
because nature isn't
beautiful with a lot of rubbish lying
around
First signs of life
Some chalets down here
I guess I'm
to the western side again
I've been walking
past this pathway
the whole time and
a bit of a disappointment
you walk on the edge of the cliff the whole time
Not once do you
get a nice view. You always see that
You can see there's the ocean. You can hear it
You can feel it
but you can not see it
which is quiet a
frustration at times
The word Kapas means cotton
in Malay. If you experience
the white sandy beaches
it is very obvious where this island
gets its name from

and Happy Wanderlusting!
