A look around Kemaman, Terengganu...

Peace be upon you all. Glad to inform that I'm now approaching the end of my latest travelling session... Still gladder to inform that today in Raub, Pahang, I finally managed to transfer the rest of the pictures taken using my cheap digital camera into my pen-drive, making it possible to upload the picture into the Internet. So here we have, some pictures taken in Terengganu, particularly in the town of Chukai, Kemaman which practically represents the district of Terengganu. Here goes... :]

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! :]
