Going around Gemas old train station

Continuing from Traditional archery tournament at Kota Tinggi.

Later in the evening we arrived the town of Gemas which is situated in the state of Negeri Sembilan. Gemas is where the two main railway lines of Peninsular Malaysia meet, the north-south west coast line and the one to the east coast.

The Gemas train station that I used to know from my rougher travelling days has been redundant for some time. A new one has been opened 2-3 years ago if not mistaken, the one of which part of the building is seen in the background.

I brought the wife and kids to the old station to cherish some memories.

So there we were frolicking around going in and out of trains and stuffs...

Traditional archery tournament at Kota Tinggi

Continuing from Lunch in the middle of Johor River off Teluk Sengat.

Saturday 29th August 2015, after visiting a number of tombs of prominent persons in and around the town of Kota Tinggi me and family headed west and stopped by a school field.

There was a traditional archery tournament organised by the locals.

It managed to attract participants from many places in the state of Johor...

Lunch in the middle of Johor River off Teluk Sengat

Continuing from Group visit to Johor Lama museum.

After conducting our Friday congregation prayers at the Johor Lama mosque we left for the small town of Teluk Sengat about 3 km to the south-east and immediately headed for the jetty.

From there we were scheduled to take this boat.

As the boat was just a small one, we have to divide the group and take turns.

Our destination is a raft house in the middle of the Johor river.

We were going to have lunch here.

But first a look around...

After everyone has arrived and had a good look at the surroundings we started having lunch...

This is followed by a talk or lecture from me about appreciating historical sites and how it could help one's own spiritual journey and self-understanding.

Later everyone was given certificates for having successfully followed the journey along the Johor river. With that the function is officially closed...

Group visit to Johor Lama museum

Continuing from Views of Sungai Johor from Panchor.

Returning to Johor Lama we next went to the museum situated in front of the old fort.

The fort was built almost 500 years ago.

The museum in turn was built around one or two decades ago if not mistaken.

Going inside...

Most of those present have never seen what this museum has to offer...
