MALAYSIA ROUND UP - 2018 - Cont'd

Batu Bersurat Memorial in Kuala Berang. It was a discovery for Nik.

One inscribed face of the memorial stone.

All attention on the details.

Dam of Lake Kenyir. We thought that Lake Kenyir would be something exciting but were disappointed. The only fun thing to do seems to be going for a boat ride to visit the islands. Accommodation seems hard to come by and development works are slow.

A bridge link to an island of the lake that has been undergoing construction for some time.

This park on an island has been closed for renovation but hardly any work has been carried out.

Leaving Kuala Besut for Pulau Perhentian Besar. I last visited the island in 1966. Needless to say economic development has changed the island totally from then. A kampung on the island then has since been moved to P Perhentian Kecil. There are resorts where there are stretches of white sand beaches.

"Water taxis" which can be hired for a ride round round the island, to go fishing or diving or getting to another part of the island.

Eco Marine is one of the resorts there. Accommodation is available based on one's budget. The most affordable one is to stay in tents.

We stayed at the Bayu Dive Lodge. Wifi is only available at reception so it's quite inconvenient in that sense..
