Raya Trip to the East Coast (1st to 4th October 2008)

Hola, it's the public holiday again! Since we both had about 5 days off, Joe and me decided to head to the East Coast during the recent Hari Raya to visit dad-in-law at his plantation estate. As we anticipated the drive down to Terengganu to be about 7 to 8 hours, we left the house at 4.30am (with me barely awake!). The drive down was quite smooth but I can't say the same for the opposite traffic coming up North, as the highway was full of cars going back for Raya at their respective 'kampungs'......

We got lost when we reached Kuantan, courtesy of dad-in-law's haphazard direction given.... haha.......... but we somehow managed to reach our destination finally.... albeit delayed by an hour! Oh boy, we were all so tired and hungry by then..... dropped our bags and headed straight to the nearest town Kemaman, half an hour's drive away. We hopped into the restaurant with the least people just to get our stomachs stuffed.... and it was a bad decision as the food was so-so only. Couldn't show any pics on the meal as we forgot to bring our camera out in our haste to look for food!

We retreated back to the estate after the meal to freshen up and get some sleep. It was a much needed sleep and we felt really fresher after that. After waking up, Joe and I decided to bring little Ken (our cheeky nephew) to tour around the estate and to see the dragon fruit farm. Pictures speaks louder than words.... here goes........


The Legendary 3 Stooges..... Joe, Ken and me!

More to come on the subsequent days adventure to Kuala Terengganu and Kuantan, Pahang. Stay tuned.........
