2007 - PTS Co Trip To Pangkor Island - Part 1

I have never been to Pangkor Island before.
I'm quite excited about this trip.
For a 3 days 2 nites trip (14th, 15th and 16th of Dec 2007), my darling would be left alone at home..he was :(
But I was :) as I got to have fun around the island.




Early Saturday morning, as early as b4 the sky was bright, we had been waiting at KL Sentral for our bus.
The bus delayed till 7 or 8 sth only reached...quite pissed off tho!!
When the bus finally reached, most of my colleagues one by one put their bags into the luggage area.
I brought my bag into the bus as I was sitting all alone..hehe..there was space for my bag.
1 movie was played on the way to the jetty..hhhmmm...someone obviously forgot to bring CDs..
The bus driver was kind of sucks!!
He drove so fast and even "cut" and horned the slower cars in front.
He didnt even bother to stop when the bus was going over road humps.
We were all "jumping" around inside the bus.


We stopped by 2 perhentian(s) to have a rest and "release" --> u know wat I mean ya..;)..TOILET obviously
I bought some fruits to eat and a packet of Twisties..
On the way to jetty, I alone finished up the whole packet..wow!!





Finally, we reached the jetty. Some of us went to toilet, some shopping (buying local products).. Sharine and I just sat there chit chatting while waiting for ferry.
Ferry return tics were passed to us and was to be kept tight.

Waited for nearly half an hr (I guess), we boarded a ferry.
I couldn't rmbr the last time I was on a ferry. The ferry was packed with passengers and luggage.




The scenery around was serene and peaceful.
We could see the wooden houses built near the beach.
Fishing is the sole income for the villagers.

We reached Pangkor Island jetty.
There were a lot of vans waiting for tourists.
Their responsibilities were either to drive all the tourists around the island or to their hotels/resorts.



We stayed at Puteri Bayu Beach Resort.
Take a look of the resort: http://www.puteribayu.com/home.html
The services provided by the resort was just average.
Anyway, it is good enough to relax.

The first thing we did upon reaching the resort was to have lunch.
Uncle Jay ate too much of mutton and eventually did not join us for island hoping..one of our afternoon session activity.




Each of us get to share a challet with one person.
Sharine and I were arranged to share the challet.

.....Stay tune for our activities session ;) .....
