Night views from Alor Setar's telecommunications tower

Continuing from Muda river from Pantai Prai pump station.

Journey was continued to Sungai Petani followed by Gurun and Guar Chempedak. Upon reaching Alor Setar at dusk we immediately rushed to its telecommunications tower.

While there was still a bit of light we wanted to catch views of the city...

We did get a bit of that before it turned dark...

For comparisons to daytime views look at the article Views on top Alor Setar's telecommunication tower....

You can also get more information on the places seen from the tower there...

Muda river from Pantai Prai pump station

Continuing from Muda river from Sidam Kanan pump station.

From Sidang Kanan we took the bridge across Muda river to get to Sidam Kiri where we visited the tomb of an illustrious 18th century Bugis warrior prince. Then we took a rural route which practically goes downriver and saw the pump station of Pantai Prai.

I feel I must have a closer look at the Muda river from this side...

A look downriver.

A look across.

A look upriver.

Muda river from Sidam Kanan pump station

Peace be upon you. Entering 2nd day of the recent northern trip.

Sunday afternoon 24th March 2019. We left Bukit Mertajam to send a daughter back to college in Kepala Batas. From there we decided to enter Kedah via a rural route and found this, the pump station at Sidam Kanan.

It is situated besides the Muda river.

Upriver one could see the bridge heading to Sidam Kiri.

A look across.

A look downriver.

Bukit Mertajam from Summit Hotel

Continuing from On to Pulau Aman.

At 3.30 we arrived at the town of Bukit Mertajam.

We immediately checked into the Summit Hotel and got a room at the 9th floor.

As it turned out our room faces the west.

Here are looks around starting northwards going anti-clockwise on to the south...

On to Pulau Aman

Continuing from Visit to Taiping Zoo.

Our next stop is the jetty to Pulau (island of) Aman in Pulau Pinang.

It is a small island about 2 km off the mainland of Pulau Pinang.

It took only 10 minutes by speedboat to get there...

The island is a quick escapade for those from the mainland....
