2009 Family Gathering - 2nd day Pulau Pangkor

We got a bit of adventurous on the way from Taiping to Pulau Pangkor, lucky for us as the owner whom rent the house to us in Taiping guide us out to the road leading to Lumut ... a big thank you to him. On the way we look at signboard leading to Lumut and frankly speaking the signboards and directions can be improved further to help traveller. At last we reached Lumut and embark on a ferry journey (30 minutes ride) and reach Pulau Pangkor (oops forgot what time we reach I think around 5+pm). All 13 of us squeeze in into a taxi van and adjourned to Puteri Bayu Beach Resort. The van taxi driver offer us a tour around the island for RM80 for 2 hours (all in including fetching us to the hotel).
After checking in, we adjourned for our tour around Pangkor island, the driver turn out to be a guide as well, introducing us the history and landmark area throughout our journey (bravo to this man). We went to Great Wall of China (smaller version) and we found a drum which had hair growing around the drum, went to a Portuguese site (if I remember correctly), Pangkor rubbish dump site, God of Mercy temple beside a nice beach, manage to see the sunset (so beautiful) and a satay fish factory (not sure if I missed out any) and adjourned straight for dinner at a restaurant.
