Had to wait for the morning boot. Paid 65 for the airco room in the front 1st floor Free wifi works very good, could make a call home with fring (VoIP app) Lots off restaurants Main Street to the left But beware there are 2 mosque s very close so awake at 05.30 😩

Got stuck in Kuala Besut, had to stay in a hotel until the morning ferry - like so many others, that hotel was Nan Hotel.
