Pangkor Island Part 3

After  the boat trip, we headed home and freshen up a bit. At 3.00pm, my husband chartered the pink taxi RM80 for 2 hours to tour the island about 25 km in distance. According to the uncle driver, Pangkor Island is inhibited approximately by 15,000 people: 45% Chinese, 45% Malay and another 10% Indian. Occupation: mostly fishermen. He himself is born and bred in Pangkor island.

First and foremost he took us to Kampung Teluk Gedung where the Dutch Fort is situated.

Then he drove us off to Fu Lin Kong Temple in Sungai Pinang Besar. There, we saw 3 particularly huge fishes up to a size of  1.8 metres (6 feet) . We asked the uncle what fish is this? he said `ikan laga'  itu 'lagon fish' oh..oh..dragon fish. We couldn't get a clear picture of this fishes because the water is murky due to the rain before this.

We also stopped by Monkey Bay. Usually around this time the Majlis Perbandaran Pangkor would come and bring food so every monkey was on standby mode.

By now, the camera has run out of  battery and  the battery phones were running low. So, no pictures of the `satay ikan' factory., the original coral beach, Teluk Nipah and also the three petrol station. If you are here don't forget to checkout the `Shell petrol Station'. The other two petrol station has no name!! At 5.00 pm the `uncle pink taxi' took us back to our hotel.

Then, at 6.00 pm we went to the beach and the children finally had their dreams come true including my husband.

The next morning, every inch of the body was aching. At 11.00 am we checked out and headed back to home sweet home.
