Kuantan

We arrived in Kuantan determined to take in the Elephant Sanctuary. To our dismay it was actually 3 hours away - my fault for not doing enough homework on this one. To make matters worse the buses to Tioman were fully booked for the next 2 days so we went ahead and booked for the day after and sought a hotel.
We stayed near the bus station trying 2 different places over the 2 nights.
Kuantan has a really nice, clean beach, which is 5 or 6k away and this gave us a good walk.
It's also got a wonderful mosque, great local markets and we stopped at one restaurant to watch the Manchester derby and were rewarded with some tremendous dishes - pork, prawns and chicken - mmmm....
