Sleepy Hollow of The East

Kuala Penyu...

Been seeing the signboard all the time, on the way to Labuan & Beaufort,
but i never had the chance to really go there... Sleepy hollow kan.. who on earth would wanna go there???

as soon as i reach this small town.. i noticed how quiet and slow things moves around here.. even cars were few on the road... and one thing caught my eyes.. The Turtles..!! Kuala Penyu kan.. (turtle's bay - loosely translated to english) and the chain.. used to pull the ferry.. i never had the chance to see the chain ferry crossing Prai River, only heard abt it from the mouth of the elderly ppl.. and seeing it with my own eyes.. fuyooooooo.. siok..!!!

See, the man can cross the road without even bothered to look at the sides

and camera shy people - running away as soon as the lense pointed to them... hmmm... sioknyerrrrrr
and those who r not that shy.. phewittttttt.. dr KB kot... judging from the cowboy hat... Koboi Bajau kan.. hahaha.

The only petrol station i saw around here.. or at least, thats wat i think.. unless there is another somewhere hidden in the town.. all i see were bottles of petrol being sold at much higher price..!!

and you wouldn't wanna have a flat tire around here, would u??

The life line and the machine.. the chain links with the ferry at the background.. one should really use the kuala penyu - menumbok road at least once in their lifetime.. taking the road less travelled sometimes means much more.. gives u something that no others can give..

another mean of transport to cross the river... this dude is waiting for passengers to go to the other side...




politik kampung or wat??

the dude that operates the ferry...



The Otherside...



and along the way..... nice beaches and beautiful sceneries along the kuala penyu - membakut stretch.. i just love the scenery there...
ciao...
