Taking the challenging coastal route from Pulau Intan

Continuing from Down to Pulau Intan.

Looking towards the southern tip of Tanjung Tuan from the furthest tip of Pulau Intan.

I decided that we should follow the coastal route to return to our car and the kids just followed.

But there are many challenging stony paths along the way...

The safe route is to climb back to the light house (see On to the lighthouse of Tanjung Tuan) and then just  follow the tarred round downhill to the parking lot.

Thank God it is low tide. Otherwise these parts are all submerged...

Looking back towards Pulau Intan. The time was 6.41 pm.

We have a window of just over half an hour before the sun sets.

And there was still some challenging distance to be covered before reaching safety...

We reached this mangrove swamp which is close to safety at 7.18 pm. Years ago there was a wooden walkway to get through. Now on have to walk on the roots to get to the other end and that turned out to be the most challenging part. For the record this is the 2,366th article in this blogspot.

Down to Pulau Intan

Continuing from On to the lighthouse of Tanjung Tuan.

The kids caught sight of a jungle path besides the lighthouse and immediately took it.

Actually it was my intention to bring them along the path. So they needed no persuasion at all.

It was with such spirit of adventure that I myself enter jungles, at times alone, when I was that young.

The path leads downhill to the western tip of the cape that is Tanjung Tuan...

There lies a place called Pulau Intan which means the island of Intan.

I can see that at high tide it is actually an island.

We proceeded on to the furthest tip of Pulau Intan...

There. Then only we were satisfied.

On to the lighthouse of Tanjung Tuan

Continuing from Views from the water tower at Teluk Kemang.

Next I brought the kids to Tanjung Tuan...

I wanted to show them the light house up the hill there...

I remember the views were superb from this spot in my previous visits. However the wide vista has been blocked by trees...

Still at least I got to show them the lighthouse. And the kids liked it.

Views from the water tower at Teluk Kemang

Continuing from A visit to Teluk Kemang.

Close to where my car was parked is this water tower.

I felt like going up to savour the views from there...
