The village is famous for its seafood restaurants, but there is also a nice beach, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sekinchan.org\/redang-beach.html\">Pantai Redang<\/a>. In general I am not that keen on the beaches of the Straits of Melaka (Port Dickson, argh!)\u00a0but this was a pleasant surprise. Local people have built a number of tree houses along the beach, using driftwood, parts of old boats, fishing nets etc. The result is very attractive. There is also a Chinese temple with a wishing tree. Will probably be\u00a0crowded during weekends. Worth a visit!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

One topic of conversation was that I had taken up playing flute after many years, but that I was unhappy with the condition of the instrument. &#8220;Why not use the flute my mother has been playing&#8221;, Caroline said, &#8220;She would have been very happy with the idea&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With some hesitation I accepted this generous offer, so a few days later I met them again, the flute was handed over ceremoniously and I am now playing it&#8230;:-)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6303\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6303\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,511\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 5s&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1410205947&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.12&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.03030303030303&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dinner withCaroline\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926-300x191.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6303\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926.jpg\" alt=\"Dinner withCaroline\" width=\"296\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9926-469x300.jpg 469w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9948.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6304\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6304\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9948.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,653\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 5s&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1410354077&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.12&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Handing over the flute\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9948-300x244.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9948.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6304\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9948.jpg\" alt=\"Handing over the flute\" width=\"227\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a first result, Paul and I are playing the famous Canon in D by Pachelbel.
