Pulau Pangkor - Day 3


Last day in Pulau Pangkor. 
We took that cute pink mini bus to tour the island.
The driver, a very friendly old chinese guy was like a professional tourist guide, explaining to us almost every detail about the island.  
He brought us to a few interesting places and he talked almost non-stop about this small island.



The Dutch Fort. 


The boys at the ruins of the Dutch Fort 


The Galery



 This coral/stone that we were holding is quite heavy and yet it FLOATS in the water. 
People used to bathe using the water soaked with this coral/stone to cure illness because it is believed to have healing powers.



The three beautiful princesses from Majapahit.
Kembar kot..not sure.



Batu bersurat 1743. 
There is a drawing of a tiger and some writtings on it. 
It is believed that the drawing tells a story of a tiger that mauled and killed the son of a Dutch personnel.



Mini Great Wall of China

We also stopped by at the boat building factory, satay factory, china town and other places 
tapi tak sempat ambik gambar.

But as usual, we enjoyed the beach more than anything else.
It is quite lively, not to crowded, a lot of things to observe and
it is easy to get carried away with lots of thoughts here.

Somehow when I am at the beach,
a lot of things in my mind became disentangled and almost everything seemed crystal clear.

Pulau Pangkor - Day 2


Took a stroll along the beach early in the morning and just sat and enjoyed the view. 
It was calming staring at the wave rolling and hitting the beach.
It was fun just
watching little children fighting who get to play on the wooden swing first, 
listening to the beach boys calling for the tourists to join their activities,
the hornbills hopping around looking for food and 
oh yes, not to forget those romantic
 honeymooners, I can tell by the thick inai on their fingers and their happy faces. 

Dah letih usha org kat tepi pantai, then pegi join speed boat trip pulok!

 

Waiting for the speed boat for a snorkeling trip at Pulau Giam.
I did not enjoy this as much as the one at Tioman Island but oh well, it was okay I guess.


Mandi-manda di Teluk Man.
Now, this one, I LIKEEEEE.

The white sand and clear water, blue sky, the tranquility..almost perfect..THEN came a group of monkeys trying to steal bags/food from the tourists there and then it was not so perfect anymore. Haiya!



Batu Penyu.
see that rock formation on the right hand side of this photo, it does look like a turtle right?


Batu buaya
The rock formation on the left looks like a crocodile.



Batu Ikan Paus.
Nampak tak kepala ikan paus, siap ada pokok to resemble air keluar kat atas kepala dia.
