Trip in Pahang

Here's another past post.
The trip was from 10-12 May 2009 and actually was to send my brother for registration at Pahang Matriculation, Gambang (his registration was on 11 May 2009).

So we started our journey on Sunday morning (10/5/2009) by sending my sister to Open University Malaysia (OUM) in Ipoh.
Then only we proceed to Pahang via Batang Kali-Genting Highland-Karak highway-East Coast highway.

Departed from Ipoh at about 8:00 a.m. and reached Kuantan, Pahang around 2:00 p.m.
Searched for hotel to stay one night and the next morning (11/5/2009) send my brother to Pahang Matriculation.

Kuantan River (nearby the hotel we stayed)


After sending my brother, my mom and I got back into Kuantan and then we went along the road by the sea and just stopped at anywhere we like...hehe...
Actually kinda boring and did not know where to go because there were only the two of us.
So we travelled from Kuantan, Pahang till Kemasik, Terengganu...haha...

After that we went back to Pahang and stayed at a chalet at Balok Beach (we regretted it because that chalet's services not very good and maybe would be better if we went to Cherating Beach or Teluk Chempedak Beach but never mind, next time will travel to the East Coast again...hehe...)

We stopped by at a few places all the way from Kuantan-Kemasik-Kuantan.

Natural Batik Village at Pahang



Kemasik Beach at Terengganu


Awana Kijal Star Cruise Jetty at Dungun, Terengganu

Perwaja Steel Factory at Kemamam, Terengganu (this one passed by only)

Telaga Simpul at Terengganu
(We were curious by the name, so we went into this place to have a look...haha...and not a very special place I guess. But we noticed something, a lot of people came into this place have meal. My mom and I were wondering why?? Actually we wanted to find out and try but too many people so we went out after taking the picture of the well which we were so curious...hehe...)



Balok Beach at Pahang

On 12/5/2009 at around 7:30 a.m. we checked out from the chalet and went for a breakfast before drove back home to Ayer Tawar.
Some interesting part here, my mom and I decided not to use the highway, so we used only the trunk road of Pahang (Kuantan-Gambang-Maran-Temerloh-Mentakab-Bentong).
Not too bad and actually get to know some of the places situated at which location by using this road.

Then we planned to use the other route and did not use the Genting Highlands route.
From Bentong we went towards Raub and diverted into the road up to Fraser's Hill.
Oh my god...such a long journey going up the hill which took us almost 2 hours I guess because it's about 66km all the way up.
In between we did stopped our car and took some photos at the hill.






Going down was easier and nearer (about 26km if not mistaken) and we were out through Kuala Kubu Baru.
Reached home at about 4:00 p.m. and yeah next time no more using the Fraser's Hill route...hahaha...
