Day 2: the wedding day! Very busy day, even for 'extras' like me because I wanted to attend the wedding AND go the touristy places in Pangkor...
Woke up early at 7am and went for a stroll down the Pasir Bogak beach.
At about 10am was the first wedding event for the day, the bridegroom picking up his bride, who's at the apartment we are renting. This lasted till about 2pm. But lets leave the wedding stuff aside first and see what are the places to go in Pangkor...
There are a few ways to travel around here; bike and taxi seems to be the most popular and easiest. A taxi tour of the place (round the island) costs RM50 for 7 of us for 2 hours.
Uncle talking about his good old days... :P
First stop is the Dutch Fort. Like the Melaka A Farmosa-type of place.
Not much remains of the place...
The pink coloured van at the back is an example of the taxis in Pangkor; can't miss them!
Nice circular rest area.
Nearby is this Historical Rock/Batu Bersurat. See the image of the Tiger on the rock? Apparently a Dutch boy went missing and was believed to be killed by this tiger. Some say the tiger image could also signify the local Malay villagers...
One place the uncle recommended was this Kuan Yin temple.
White sandy beaches!
Kuan Yin on a Dragon facing the sea.
The place has a nice view of the sea and a well-maintained garden.
The last stop (we were in a hurry, the wedding dinner starts at 5pm!) is the Foo Lin Kong temple. There's a miniature Great Wall of China by the side of the temple...
