We didn't drive straight to Kuala Sepetang. We made a few stops along the way.
Our first stop was in Kuala Kangsar where we dropped by a friend's motorcycle shop to pay a visit.
Checking out some of the bright coloured bikes.
The yellow one above and the white one below are good for shopping purposes.So convenient with the metal basket in front, center and a back carrier.
We chatted for a while, refreshed ourselves, and we were on the road again.
Back on the highway
Going out of the highway in search of durians.
We came upon a roadside stall, stopped to find out the price.
The durian fruits look fresh.
Our friends checking out the durians.
"Watch out for the thorns!"
See, the "makcik" or auntie on the left opening the durian fruits for us.
Come, let's enjoy!
Yummy durian fruit.
Sorry about the colour, due to reflection of the pink coloured shade.
After we had our fill of durians, we continued on our journey.
If you want a boat ride, this is the place!
This is a common fishing village scene.
Taking a rest and a snapshot.

Though I am surrounded by troubles,
you will bring me safely through them.
You will clench your fist against my angry enemies!
Your power will save me.

DeleteThe fishing village looks intriguing. I've never heard of durian fruit. Kind of odd looking!!
ReplyDeleteThe durian fruit is covered with thorns but you either love the fruit or hate it.
Deleteah durian! I am so tempted to eat durian again. The air must be so fragrant with the sea smell of salted fish and shrimps.
ReplyDeleteYes, can smell the sea smell!
Deletewow I have never seen fruit like that before, it does look like it is a little sharp... Wow that is a lot of fish drying, I didn't know you dried them like that
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of sun, so naturally this is the cheapest way of drying the fishes and shrimps.
DeleteWhat a wonderful trip, i love the scenery at the highway and at the fishing village
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby!
DeleteThe fishing village looked like a nice place to be. I was intrigued by the drying process in the open air.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas! This is the common drying process done here.
DeleteHot day indeed.
