Pangkor Island




This time we decided to go to the west island of pennisular Malaysia which is Pangkor Island. It is situated in Perak closed to Lumut Town. We left early in the morning as to catch up the ferry that will take us to the island just before the check in time. We took first the north sout highway and exit at Lumut junction to continue our journey.

We did not expect that it was still quite far to go after the highway junction. So we had to drive quite fast to make it on time for the ferry. The view along the drive is amazing and peaceful. We saw big rice field with hilly background along the main road.
It was really really nice. We however managed to get to the jetty on time and get on the boat as planned. I was so looking forward and excited to check in at the hotel. It took less than an hour to get to the Island.

We were greeted by the hotel staff and there was a transport waiting for us to take us to the hotel. We hopped in the car and checked in the hotel as expected. We were given a nice, comfortable and cosy room close to the beach. We took some rest before we hit the beach to enjoy the breezy sea and picturesque view of the place.

Oh well, we finally managed to get to the hotel despite the driving fast and almost missing the boat. The first day at the hotel was not that bad and I was looking forward to the rest of the day.
