PIC2008 Update3

Last day of trip, we all slept late. Well not too late though. Get ourselves ready, packed all our stuff and took our breakfast. Then we had another beach cleaning activities to clear up the camp site and the surrounding area so as to have all our rubbish packed nicely so that the beach will still be clean. Then we had to break the tents and get everything back in place, waiting for the transfer back to the mainland.

One last sight of the beautiful view

Another one before leaving

We hopped on a ferry this time so it took us a little longer to get back compared to travelling in a speed boat. The seats were quite full, I ended up having a first class seat beside the captain. Hehe. nice view from the top. I see him handling the controls, GPS is one main component that plays an important role in navigation. Manage to chat with the nice friendly captain throughout the journey back.

As we reached the jetty we went to enquire for direct bus transfer back to penang as we wouldn't want to travel down to kl and back to penang. Kinda redundant and also I wouldn't wanna sit upright back. We manage to get our tickets but we will need to get to Jerteh for the bus. So we took lunch at K.Besut and took a taxi ride to Jerteh. About 20 min ride. But our bus was at night. So we took our own sweet time just to pass sometime. We reached Jerteh at about 4pm. Nothing much there. It felt like Parit Buntar. No McD, only KFC, I wonder why. KFC seems to have wider coverage. And their shopping is EconJaya if i'm not mistaken just like our nice little Billion. We went into shopping to cool down for a while then we hang around at a hawker nearby. There's pretty much of local food there. They all looked tasty. So we grab some snack, little bit of this, little bit of that. And lekor is of course a not to be missed snack. I ended up having too much snack that I skipped dinner. We took a quick shower public toilet before getting on the bus. Little did i know that being at the last seat provided me with once again an upright seat. Damn!! Well had to bear with it. Lasted all the way till penang. My neck...

mouth watering

Well one hell of a challenge it was. We'll be back next year with a more well prepared condition.
