Pengkalan Datu river close to the river mouth

OK. Switching to the East Coast trip of 26 March-4 April.

In the last article here on the trip The 'real' Danau Tok Uban the vast lake that is Danau Tok Uban has been shown. The following day, Saturday 30th March we decided to head the opposite direction towards the coast. Soon we arrived and this part of a river called Sungai (river of) Pengkalan Datu.

In olden times it was the main river used by the Jembal royal dynasty to get to their ruling centre. Here's a look upriver. The main ruling centre known as Kota Jembal (now in the small town of Kedai Lalat) is about 7 km in this direction.

A look across. Here the river is about 160 metres wide.

A look downriver. The estuary is around 800 metres away.
