And so I reached Seri Menanti. I immediately head for the main destination there. Above is the gates to the said destination...
So what is this place? Welcome to the old Negeri Sembilan palace which has been turned into a museum. For more pictures of it, look at the article Istana lama (the old palace of) Seri Menanti... in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) ...
Once done at the palace, I immediately head out of Seri Menanti as there's one or two other destinations I wanted to catch before dusk, both being situated at a distance to each other. As I was about to leave the small town, I saw this archway... It was only when I passed it on the way out that I felt like taking a picture... I saw something else calling me to visit...
Actually I saw another arch, a white one pointing the way to the Negeri Sembilan royal mausoleum. But the gates to arch were locked. So I had to go through the way to the mosque... The royal mosque of Tuanku Munawir...
The mosque...
Ah... This must be the Negeri Sembilan royal mausoleum...
Yes it is. It's just that there's no one buried here, yet.
Then I realised this one is the new royal mausoleum built likely for the present royal family. As it turned out, the existing (and used) royal mausoleum is behind it. Have a look at the article Makam diraja (royal mausoleum of) Negeri Sembilan, Seri Menanti in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) .
Whatever, it's time to leave Seri Menanti. A last look at the nice background of hills from inside the car...
So where's the next destination? Guess... I took the straight road. Is it to Tanjung Ipoh or Kuala Pilah?
Almost 20km later, I arrived at another junction... So now, is it to Seremban or Kuala Pilah?
I took the left turning. But if I wanted to go to Seremban, I could have taken the earlier left turning at Seri Menanti. So where am I going? Try reasoning by elimination... As the famous detective Sherlock Holmes would say, elemantary my dear Watson...
Whataver, here is written my next destination. We'll continue the story next time. Cheers! :]
