Pictures around Kuala Besut

Peace be upon you all. Last week I did a simple posting called Pictures around Kemaman . I forgot to say that the pictures were taken after me and the wife spent a night there. Next, we spent the night at Kuala Besut further up north, close to the Kelantan state border. Here are some pictures taken the following morning. Have a look...


Around the Besut river estuary. By the way, Kuala Besut means the Besut river estuary...



Part of the small town of Kuala Besut...



Seen here is the budget hotel we stayed at and the cute local bus and taxi station...



The tourist complex leading to the main jetty. For the record Kuala Besut is the main hopping point to the Terengganu resort island of Pulau Perhentian.




The old surau or main praying hall built in 1955... but the main mosque is much older, built in 1926 and much more interesting. Have a look at the article Masjid (mosque of) al-Jamhuriah, Kuala Besut in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) .





A look at another part of the small town, at the front of the tourism complex. It just happened that this pink Volkswagen entered the frame!






And that's my lovely wife posing. Cheers! :]
