Day 3: Semporna- Mataking+Pompom
**Mataking Island**
The beauty of Mataking Island makes people to call it as 'Malaysia's Maldives'. Snorkelling in Mataking let you to have a close up view of turtles. Well, that is if you are lucky enough and got a skilled tour guide. Of course, to enjoy the view of sea turtles, it depends on the weather too. You won't be able to see the turtles in bad weather. Unfortunately, I didnt manage to see the turtles although the weather is good that day. The turtles are afraid of me, I guess (T_T)
**Pompom Island**
Since this is our very last island to visit, so lets take some rest, feel the cool breeze, sunbath under hot and shining sun, enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking loads of photograph (It's photography time!!)
Back from the islands, we went to Tawau. there, we check into Astana Hotel (MYR89/night) for a room of double single bed or queen bed. next to Astana Hotel is Astana Cafe. The hotel guest often have their dinner in Astana Cafe. However, that night we had our night walk all the way to some area where food hawker gather up and run their business. We ordered Nasi Gondrong and Nasi Goreng Lalap.
