Pulau (island of) Bunting at Yan, Kedah

Continued from Passing through Kuala Sala.

Still miles from the small town of Yan but already within the district of Yan there is a coastal gravel road.

From there you could reach an interesting place...

Too bad the road was blocked and you have to start walking.


As I walked towards the said place I could see the coast towards the north opens up...



A look towards the sea to the left and you could see two or three islands.




A look towards the south and you could get a good view of Gunung Jerai, Kedah's tallest peak.

After the gravel road there's a nice tarred road. In fact it is a bridge leading to an island called Pulau Bunting.




Pulau Bunting literally means the pregnant island referring to its shape like a pregnant woman lying on her back. Too bad I didn't have much time to indulge. Otherwise I would have walked all the way to the island. Besides I can't leave the wife and baby waiting in the car for long.

So after just a few minutes taking in the atmosphere I have to walk back. Ah... if only I had more time, or if we could bring in the car. For the record this is the 700th article in this blogspot.
