Sungai Rengit of Kota Tinggi, the southern-most point of east Johor

From Desaru we head south past Teluk Ramunia and on to Sungai Rengit...

Like at Desaru you can have a good view of the South China Sea. But here it is much closer to the island-nation of Singapura... not the island in the picture though...


Here's one directly to the south with a view of the ships anchored off Singapura. When I took this picture I thought it was Singapura in the background but a check with Google Earth shows that it is either the island of Batam or Bintan in Indonesia.


A look to the west...



And on we go to the small town of Sungai Rengit.




This one nearly got me spooked...





Anyway did I tell you that Sungai Rengit is the southern-most point of east Johor? Well, I've been told that by some people but a check using Google Earth shows a cape 3 km to the south-west as the actual southern-most point. That again you could say it is still part of Sungai Rengit. So I guess the claim still holds...
