The breakfast was average, and the noodles didn't taste very good. However, the watermelon was sweet and juicy. My partner, however, really enjoyed the sausages. Basically we stayed on Selingan Island for less than 24 hours, as the main purpose of our visit was to see turtles laying eggs. As we were leaving, the sky looked gloomy, and one of the staff warned us that the boat ride might be rough. There were only three of us on the boat, including the boatman. The ride was very bumpy, and in certain areas the boat swayed from left to right, making it quite scary. The sky was dark, and it was raining, which made the journey feel even more intimidating. The waves were big, and at times, when I looked outside, the water appeared higher than the boat. We had never felt a boat ride last so long before, and both of us...
