Malaysia Trip
hock has posted a blow by blow account on his blog at http://rebellium07.blogspot.com
I shall leave the details to him and just post the pictures instead with some commentary.
After a long overnight bus journey and a transfer to another van, here we are at Lake Kenyir, the largest man-made lake in SEA.
The lake is so serene and peaceful.
The wonderful view of the lake from the dining hall at the resort.
The resort's jetty. Kayaking equipment is available there for free.
Sunset on the lake.
Lasir Waterfall
The beach in front of Laguna Redang Resort. Beautiful place, nice fine sand. And there are some fish swimming around the rocks too. This is after our we spent the morning travelling from Lake Kenyir to Redang Island. The trip on the open air area of the ferry was quite unpleasant.
The view of another resort's stretch of beach.
Taking the boat to the marine conservation park to see corals. It was nice floating in the water and watching all the fish swim around. Pity the day wasn't sunny, would have made it easier to peer into the water.
The view of the resort's lobby and restaurant at night.
Sunrise at the beach. There was too much cloud.
The sky is starting to lighten.
The sea is so calm.
Our resort's restaurant and lobby during the early hours of the day.
You can see the waves breaking on the shore.
Here the waves are breaking over the rocks.
The sky is getting brighter.
Here's the view from the restaurant's balcony. We're having breakfast here right before we take the ferry back to the mainland and take the bus home.
For those who are curious, the above pictures were taken with my little Sony DSC-S40 digital camera. Cost less than $300 :)
