Crossing the Terengganu river to Pulau Sekati

Continued from Terengganu river near the state museum.

OK. The actual reason I went to the part of Terengganu river near the state museum was because I thought the wooden bridge to the island called Pulau Sekati is still there. I have been to the state museum or around it quite a number times but have yet to take the walk across the bridge...

Somehow for the last few weeks before this trip I felt a strong urge that should I go to Kuala Terengganu again I must make the walk to Pulau Sekati. Luckily my instincts pointed me to the right way to reach the bridge.

For the record I arrived this place at dusk. The data which came with these pictures say I started crossing at 7.17 pm. Here's a look downriver.

A look upriver. But this is not the main part of the river. Rather, it is a relatively narrow strait between the mainland and an island seen to the right.

Unlike Pulau Sekati, the said island is much smaller and uninhabited. The wooden bridge is made especially for locals to cross by motorcycle. There's not enough room and not enough strength I presume for a car to cross.

It is also convenient for pedestrians such as myself...

A look downriver as I went pass the smaller island.

Still quite a distance to cover.

A look upriver shows the straits formed by Pulau Sekati to the right and the smaller island to the left.

Getting closer...

And soon enough I was on Pulau Sekati. No need to elaborate more. :]
