Views from the peaks of the 'Mosque' island

Continued from The 'Mosque' island.

The pile of stones we climbed is actually a peak area of the island.

From up here we can have a good look at the surroundings.

However I was not satisfied as I could see two higher peaks around.

Going down for perspective.

There's this peak at the centre.

There's the highest peak a bit further.

It was harder to climb. So I decided to go up alone. Here's a look behind.

A look ahead at the actual peak.

A look from it.

A look towards the east.

A look down.

And more looks at the surroundings...

Zooming in towards another special place. Look at the article The wife and kids first visit to the so-called foot-print of Hang Tuah and the tomb behind.

A look down again.

The 'Mosque' island

Next, it's time to check out this island.

During low tide it's possible to walk all the way to it.

A look behind...

That's the wife and our kid crossing.

Me, I was carrying baby Johan while snapping pictures.

Approaching the island.

It's like we were welcomed by the mangrove trees.

Looking behind, the wife and kid have just arrived.

As we followed the path available we saw this pile of rocks that we simply must climb!

Oh. By the way the island is called Pulau Masjid, pulau meaning island, masjid meaning mosque. Some people say it is called that because the pile of rocks here look like a ruined mosque from afar.

The wife and kids first visit to the so-called foot-print of Hang Tuah and the tomb behind

Continued from Baby Johan's first visit to the light house of Tanjung Tuan.

To get to the said places we must walked down a smaller path.

We have to walk through some virgin jungle. By then Johan was already asleep.

We passed besides a well said to have been built by Dutch colonialists centuries ago.

The path leads to the coastline where our next phase of adventure would start.

Zoom in. There's an island we'd like to step our foot on.

But before that we want to check out this pile of stones.

For on top of it lies what is believed to be the footprint left by the legendary Malay warrior Hang Tuah more than 500 years ago.

Behind lies these steps.

It leads to a tomb said by some to belong to the founder of the kingdom of Melaka.
