Yesterday I got a bit too much sunburn so we decided to move on. We took a bus into Jerteh – about 20 minutes – and then changed money. After that we stood in the sun waiting for an air conditioned express bus to Kuantan down the coast. No bus but finally a car stopped and offered us a ride. The driver was a police officer from Kota Baru going to Kuala Lumpur for a training course. He drove us safely and quickly down a beautiful coastal road. We stopped and got a lunch and took it for a picnic under trees like this.
After 4 hours we arrived in Kuantan where our driver let us off on the road for the Hotel Merlin – a deluxe class hotel we had decided to treat ourselves to. That night we had lobster and relaxed near the pool
The next morning we slept late, swam in the ocean and the pool and had a lovely buffet lunch: Malay food, curries and beautiful fruit. Swam more, napped and read. The weather is still hot but not as challenging as Bangkok.
