Teringat snorkeling kat Phi Phi Island? My first time entering the magical underwater world, seeing colourful fishes, giant purple clams and long spined sea urchins...I thought Aquaria is already amazing. Well I was wrong. Going underwater isn't anything like watching animal at the zoo. The indescribable feeling makes me want to find out what Pangkor has in store for me. Actually juga sebab kitaorang bosan duk officel.
So my journey to Pangkor Island started with us, the three girls driving all the way to Lumut District, Perak. Total cost (petrol, toll, ferry tickets, accommodation) were shared equally, We each forked out RM100. Slightly over three hours, we arrived in the town center, which I thought was pretty much developed.

Walking to the jetty |

Parking was incredibly cheap, Monday-Thursday: no charge for the 1st hour, RM0.30 per hour after that, Friday-Sunday: RM0.80 first hour, RM0.40 for next subsequent hour. We paid only RM7.50!

The Jetty |
|
RM10 return ferry to Pangkor |
|
|
Air conditioned. Half and hour trip, might also transit at one island |
|
Pangkor was actually somebody's name, Che Pang Kor. Surprised? I was.
|
Jetty to Teluk Nipah, RM10 or RM15 (1 taxi van), depending on how you negotiate |
|
|
Pink taxi vans everywhere |
|
|
Stayed in Nipah Bay Villa, RM150 one night, 1 queen bed and a bunk bed |
|
|
Chalet but we stayed in a back building for late booking. All good ones were gone |

Cam tipu pula gambar ni kan? |

Snorkeling in Giam Island, a smaller island just across Pangkor |

Sand is rough and coarse |

Nightlife begun |
|
At noon |

Beautiful serene beaches |
|
Some place to dine at Pangkor Jetty |
|
They say it's cheaper to get seafood snacks in Lumut than on the island itself |
|
Inside Anak Kampung Pangkor, you wouldn't miss their huge sign |
On our way back, we stopped by Kellies Castle. Such a fine day to shoot photos.
Then my battery died...
