With the kids around Pulau Besar

 Continuing from First time to Gua Yunus in over 7 years.



Saturday morning 23rd December 2023. I want to go for another trek around Pulau Besar and this time the kids followed.





I took a different route from the previous day.
















This is to get to the place called Batu Belah (the split stone) on the summit of the highest hill on the island.










Then to this abandoned golf club on top of another hill...






















Next is this abandoned resort project downhill...
















Then we walked along the west coast of the island.




Taking time at a beach.




Time to head back to the mosque.


First time to Gua Yunus in over 7 years

 Continuing from Pulau Besar solo trek.



Soon I arrived at this west coast area toward the southern tip of the island.




There is a small stretch of beach which is quite secluded here.
















From the beach I followed the contours of the hillside towards the south to get to a more secluded place called Gua Yunus...







Here I am on top of a big boulder...













Exactly under it is the cave known as Gua Yunus.













Looking from outside of the cave...










Next I climbed this boulder just outside of Gua Yunus.




Looking around from on top of that boulder...










My records show the last time I was here was in 2016.
