From Beruas I went to the much bigger town of Pantai Remis. This is the view of the hills of Segari as one went further south and got out of town...
Just before the foot of the hills I took a right turn heading towards open sea or rather, the waters of the Straits of Melaka...
You see, this is the first time I entered these parts of Pantai Remis...
Based on memory of the local map and geography, I reckoned I should be able to find the estuary of the Beruas river at its widest point around here, the place where it meets the Straits of Melaka...
Ah... I could already see parts of what is obviously a river. But coordinate-wise, the Beruas river should be on my right not to the left...
So I continued taking the small road towards open waters...
And here I am facing the straits of Melaka which looks like a sea from most points. But where's the Beruas river estuary?
A look to the south and I could see the other river I previously saw. Then there's the highest peaks of the Segari hills in the background.
That's when the locals told me, the Segari river is a bit of a distance behind these mangrove trees. There's no way I could see the estuary from here and the mangrove swamp covers a wide area. It seems my geography is off mark but hey, what heck? I still get to see places right? :]
