Stuif's Adventures

Then it was time for lunch already. We went to Bukit Tambun, famous for its seafood. It was a floating restaurant, with fish ponds all around. After lunch we took the highway back until Kuala Kangsar and from there followed the Perak River until Parit, from where we contunued to Batu Gajah and our last destination, Kellie's castle.

When I first visited this folly, it was still a romantic, tree-overgrown ruin. Since then it has been extensively restored. But it is still interesting and Pat and Roger had never been there. You can find more information about the castle here.

A nice trip.Good luck in Australia, Pat & Roger! I am sure we will meet again soon, in Australia, Ireland, Holland or Malaysia...

wrote on Jan 10, 2008: Just to put on record that this site has been visited by BCL, the famous Selamatian. Unfortunately, it sounds very much like a Martian!! KK to Parit along the Perak River used to be a very narrow and winding road. I wonder how is it like today? And is the BRIDGE, near where water intake source for half of Ipoh's population, still there?

Kwai Loh wrote on Jan 10, 2008: Thanks, BC, for visiting my site. The road from KK to Parit is quite winding, but not so narrow now.Nice driving, but we had hoped to get more glimpses of the river. Do you mean the bridge near Parit. It is still there.

Kwai Loh wrote on Jan 10, 2008: Can we have a birding trip soon, with the Gang of Four? I am starving..:-)

wrote on Jan 10, 2008: what about doing a khong in a quiet nook? is that objectionable? /stephen

wrote on Jan 10, 2008: aiya, how can they renovate it with concrete and paint it over at that. if you wanna do it, least use clay bricks, similar to original. now it looks someone slapped a bandage on. must they perpetuate the folly? /stephen

Liz wrote on Jan 26, 2008: Nice to see the sun shining on the hills and no haze...... great pic.
