On to Pulau Semat, again

Peace be upon you all. Regarding the Penang and Perak trip made 28th June till 2nd July actually I still have a few more articles to share. It's just I was too tired and not in the mood to share it earlier. Now let's just lay the ghost to rest. Continuing from A quick look at Kuala Gula bird sanctuary.


Tuesday 30th June 2015. After visiting a number of places in and around the royal town of Kuala Kangsar in Perak I headed for the small town of Manong on to its jetty besides the Perak river.


I went there to get a boat to reach the island called Pulau Semat. This is a downstream view of the river and you could actually see part of the island in the middle of this pix.


A look across.


A look upstream.


There. I already got a boat.





After a few minutes I've passed the northern head of the island. The island is seen on the left.


Soon I could see the jetty of Kampung (village of) Semat on my right. It is a village which lies at the western bank of the Perak river facing the island of Pulau Semat.


The jetty to Pulau Semat is situated right across. The problem is its hard to get a boat from Kampung Semat.


For the record I have been to Pulau Semat once before with my family. But that was more than 5 years ago. Look at the article Visiting the mystical island of Pulau Semat.


This time I was on a certain mission and went alone. Let me explain in the following article...
