Travel to Terengganu

I am back after a 6-day, 1,600km road trip covering two of the thirteen states in Malaysia: Terengganu, and Pahang, and one Federal territory: Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, with my family.

I left home at 4:30am, when I met this tree along the East-West Highway, it was shivering in 21 degrees C, and at an elevation of 1,050m.

The rain had stopped when we reached Kenyir Lake (point B). We took a boat ride under the midday hot sun. We found no others except a few lonely trees standing in the water during this fasting month for muslim.

The Terengganu State Museum is the largest museum in Malayisa. The vastness of the history simply shows how small we are, especially when there were only a few of us wandering inside the building.

    Well, sounds like you had an a pretty good time..I enjoyed these photos and the shivering tree the best. The mosque reminds me of some I'd seen from Russia but colorful..almost like an amusment park ..course it wasn't.
    Did you take many photos inside the museum?

    Took the same route like yours back in 90's and very lonely without much traffic plying EastWest highway then. Oh dear the poor shivering tree without the leaves to ward off the bitter cold. Nice crystal clear pix of the Crystal Mosque.

    The shivering tree is a beauty. The backdrop is more than breathtaking. It was good that you noticed and captured that amazing sight.

    Your trip was a load of fun, reading and studying the photos. If it was not for you--and your camera--we readers would be the losers.
