The following day, Sunday 16th September 2018, on the way to return home in Selangor we made a short trip to Pulau Besar, Melaka.
It has been 2 years since I took the family there and a year since I myself went.
So there we were on the boat or ferry to the island some 4 km off mainland Melaka.
Soon we arrived at the main jetty and decided to walk on to the main part of the island.
On the way the kids wanted to take a dip at the beach not far from the jetty.
Normally we would go to the main part first before enjoying the beach and such. This time I allowed the kids to enjoy the beach first. We took some time and built a sort of sand castle.
We also built a barrier of sorts. It is the first time I enjoyed doing something like this in so many years and first time ever at Pulau Besar.
After two hours or so only we went on the main part of the island.
This refers to where the mosque lies along with the tomb of a saintly person known as Sultanul Ariffin Sheikh Ismail.
The area was under renovation however. Preparations are being made to knock down the old mosque and build a new bigger one on its site...
