The Negeri Sembilan journey continued : Out of Tanjung Tuan and beyond!

OK... So we were at the 'Keramat'. But soon it's time to go...


Somehow I felt like taking this particular picture from this angle and accidently stumbled upon a 'gem'! Just look at this... My friend Zaidi is shown snapping some pictures but somehow, he looks like a midget in this picture! Nice unintended effect isn't it?


Oh.... From the 'Keramat' we could see this island called Pulau Masjid or the "mosque island"... Why is it called that? Try to study what it looks like...


Time then was almost 6pm or so... Caught this rock partly exposed to sunlight creating a rather profound effect!


We followed this path to leave the 'Keramat'...


At some parts the path looked rather unkempt...


Just look at this. Plastic bottles strewn all over the place...


Then we came across a hut... Not pizza hut ya! :]


Another view of Pulau Masjid with a home-made swing in frame...


A look back shows a rather nice beach with part of the hill where we come down in the background...


Ahead of us were lots of jagged rocks...


That, interspersed with sand, mangrove swamp and such...


More jagged rocks lining part of some steep slopes. Luckily it was low tide. Otherwise there's no way we go could go pass these rocks. The regular jungle path demanded us to climb back towards the lighthouse before we could get out of Tanjung Tuan!


Thank God, we managed to pass that one and enter a mangrove jungle...


Parts like this do test my confidence as the guide... Have I taken a wrong turning or somewhere?


Ah... At last, a clear path. Now I'm sure we could get out this way...


Sure, we are still within the mangrove jungle but the path to salvation is clear!


And so we arrived at the compound of a resort. With that, we could get out of Tanjung Tuan... That's all ya! :]
