Continuing from the posting titled Now, a look at the northern parts of the Pahang river estuary... made in Kota Bahru, Kelantan 4 days ago.
On Tuesday 25 March 2008, after spending for nights in the state of Pahang, I finally made the move to enter the state of Terengganu... But unlike my previous visits to the state where I often (or is it always?) take the express bus straight to the capital Kuala Terengganu (either from Kuantan or directly from Kuala Lumpur), this time I decided to take the rusty non-express bus from Kuantan and practically inched my way up north along the Eastern Coast...
My target (and the bus' last-stop) is Kemaman, the closest Terengganu district to Pahang. The town to go is Chukai which practically represents the whole district of Kemaman...
As always, I am excited by wide bodies of water especially rivers. So I took this picture from the bus the minute I saw the part of Kemaman river which rans through this town!
There, a better view of the river... Once out of the bus that is...
As I begin walking around town, saw this old brick building with posters promoting history... Perhaps as a reminder that I should visit the Terengganu state museum when in Kuala Terengganu sometime later...
A look at the said brick building. Somehow it stood out as some sort of historical beacon for me...
I look behind and saw a potential place to spend the night later, that is if I feel like it...
A map of the town of Chukai...
I walked northwards along the river...
Came across this parts with mangrove swamp and decided to have a look at things from the chair...
A look towards the left from the chair...
To the right and a better view of the mangrove swamp...
Walked on northwards and saw this river with cemented pavements flowing into the Kemaman river...
Saw this car and couldn't help taking a shot... It's the plate number I guess...
A look at the cemented river from another angle shows a hill close to the town centre. Ends! :]
