Rasyid's first visit to Makam Chondong

Continued from Pekan at dusk.

Taking a small road not far from the palace we arrived at this place.

Welcome to Makam Chondong, a royal burial ground where lies a number of Pahang royalties from 400 years ago.


For information the said royalties are descended from the Sultans or kings of Melaka while the current royalties which came from a later dynasty are descended from the Bendaharas of Melaka, equivalent to the Prime Minister.

This is the first time I brought the wife and baby Al-Rasyid here, in fact this is the first time they've ever stepped foot anywhere near Pekan. It seems Rasyid was enjoying himself despite the fact that it was very dark then, a fact concealed by pictures which were lighted by first the car's headlight, then the camera's flashlight.
