Good morning Awana Kijal this was our second day and the weather was excellent and Captain Wong was ready to take flight with us on board. |
Everyone was ready to roll off for another day adventure in Terengganu. |
One formal group picture at the front of the resort. |
And off we went following the Captain to Kemaman. |
The four behind the entourage sweeping and ensuring all thing in the proper condition. |
Still at the lush landscape of the resort premises before hitting the main road. |
Obstacle ahead but no problem at all .... |
We were able to overcome the obstacle. |
and the ride continued ...... |
Getting out of the resort area of Kijal somewhere at Persiaran Meraga Beris |
Along Jalan Pantai Kijal we stopped by to watch the local folks drying ikan bilis on the ground while I took the chance to sembang with these folks and found out that they are ex-soldiers. |
Slowly and gradually the sun rises as we ride on for the adventure. |
At the proximity of Pantai Penunjuk Kijal where a year ago together with Kim & Anne we cycled on the similar route here. |
Here come the dragon back of Kijal - Chukai road on the same route last year that we encountered it before |
All doing well with climb with our small wheels. |
After more than 25km of pedalling we reached an edge of a beach known as Pantai Marina with a popular spring well that comes with a story. |
The water in this well comes from the hill next to it where during the olden days the local folks will borrow containers from genies and occupy the well for ceremonies. |
Goodbye Pantai Marina GPS : 4.239454, 103.452268 |
Mounting the bridge over Sungai Chukai as we got closer to Kemaman. |
As usual big boats moored that river bank as viewed fro the top of the bridge. |
Jalan Kampong Tuan |
And into a concrete path looking new with coloured concrete stamped finish. |
We could smell the kopi fro Hai Peng. |
Our bicycles nicely parked at the side of the kopitiam as we went looking for seats. |
I tried the kopi 'O' kaw with pack of nasi lemak and nasi minyak. The food bill was taken care by Mrs. Wong (Captain's wife who happened to be at the kopitiam) and thank you so much for the treat. |
Never have I seen a drying line for coffee sieve. This is Hai Peng drying line. |
An old building of Hainanese related, probably it's the old building for the association. |
Bicycle tow service for a flat tyre and heading to the workshop at Jalan Feri Lama GPS : 4.222733, 103.432921. Photo credit : YH Andrew. |
While the mechanic was at work the supervisors were take their siesta break. |
The day was getting scorching hot everyone agreed to head back to the resort and another 24km to pedal before we will be back. |
Just about to reach Awana Kijal we stopped for a quenching fresh coconut water and it was pandan flavour coconut so soothing and nice. |
At last we were back and have a few hours to rest and enjoy ourselves at the resort before we will go out for a dinner at Kg. Baru Ayer Jerneh. |
Together with us were also Captain Wong and his lovely wife. And dinner is served. |
The food was tasty and fried cauliflower was special everyone of us enjoyed it.
Next to Yeen Her Restaurant is the Hainanese Association of Kemasik. |
A rare sight of a small town with timber shops at this modern time and Air Jernih has this charm and attraction. |
The route we took to explore Kijal - Kemaman for a total distance of 61km. |
