Pangkor 2nd Day

Early the next morning went to the beach and caught some breath taking daybreak shots

 

  
an early group left for island hopping

  
 everywhere, we manage to steal some 'alone' moments 

  
before we were swarmed, and separated  by the kids...

  

we went island hopping but Millie got seasick...

  
she prefers to pose on land..

  

see what I mean?

  

fair girls burn badly
  

the young ones enjoyed snorkelling
 
                                     while the old one got a panic attack and hugged the hull of the boat

 
  
 so funny?

 
even the youngest girl could snorkel, not me or the aunty 

  
geli!!! (tickly and slimy and yucky!)
  
the poor sea cucumber got manhandled

  
she is the only one in our group who went for para sailing

  
looks so nice, but too scary for the rest of us!!!

  
 This rounded up our night

Highlights of Pangkor

cannot afford to go to leaning tower of pisa, leaning tower of teluk anson will suffice

while having coconut drinks at Lumut, we saw a convoy of about 6 covertible Mercedes...some snooty hoity tots spending taxpayers' money.


going there, we had the whole boat to ourselves, so we never stopped taking photos everywhere


we missed the first bus to the resort, but no matter, we turned waiting time into a Kodak moment!

this truck had to  gostan in a straight line all the way


we missed this welcoming girls (also the singers) with our welcome drinks because we were too busy shooting the peacock

                                                                        2 vain peacocks!

Do I look invisible? Thank goodness for this thing call camouflage...I just escaped those papparazis
we spared no expense to get a room with pool view


nice view outside, but they were too engrossed in their book

We hit the beach..


it was also hornbill feeding time
the crowd was ready for dinner...this woman had coloured tatts on her legs like Ian's hands (hidden by chair)



dinner on Saturday night was a grand affair

 
these two were not ready for dinner so they had a dip in the pool 

then the sun set, and we left dinner table to take pictures of the sunset as a backdrop

dinner on the beach with the sun setting (like Jimbaran Bay in Bali) 

  she entertained us for the night......


tomorrow: DAY 2

How we spent Thaipusam,Sunday and City DAy (1st Feb) long weekend

Because of 1st February (KL City day) we had a long extended weekend holiday so we booked Pangkor 3 days 2 nights and dragged Millie and son along for extended family fun...


What is he pointing at on the way to the jetty ?
splattered roadkill...here jettykill...the remains of a frog, preserved by the sun...hamyee anyone?

Errr.....very sleepy liao, too many late nights...gotta hit the sack now, will blog tomorrow...bye!!!!!

Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan

Leaning tower of Teluk Intan....enroute to Pulau Pangkor, we made a stop at Teluk Intan for the sake of the little girl (to help in her Kajian Tempatan or Georgraphy class) and Ivan and Millie.....



This is the leaning tower of Teluk Intan

It is very old...circa 1920 and originally built to store water strorage tanks
You can climb up to 3 storeys
Teluk Intan used to be known as Teluk Anson during the colonial days
Menara Condong or Leaning tower

Fantastic architecture


curving balustrade
view of food stalls from tower
pulleys for the clock









Had our lunch...food ala kampung
Having this lunch made us miss the 1.30 ferry, and now we had time to kill until the 3.45 ferry to Pangkor Island Resort.........
