Hello once again~
Yes, I back from a period of dormancy... and of course, back from a recent trip at Kuantan, Malaysia! And yes, what is Kuantan without its pristine, sandy beaches? So a 10hr car journey (we got lost) via the North-South Highway finally landed us at our first destination: Cherating beach.
However, you'd imagine the disappointment that I faced when I realised that the MONSOON WAVES have swept all the shells away! The waves were choppy and grey, the wrackline void of any seashells except a few uni-valved cockles... :'( And to make matters worse, I was bitten by a swarm of mosquitoes at 2.38a.m. at night... UGH!!!
Ok, granted that the beach is really beautiful and the scenery soothing to the soul...
Ok, the photo above is of Telok Chempedak, a beach south of Cherating and on the outskirts of Kuantan. (BTW, it was raining...)
Haha, initially we did not plan to visit this beach... BUT LOOK AT THE SURPRISE! HAHA! Finally, legitimate shells! THORNY OYSTERS,EGG COCKLES, SURF/BUTTERFLY CLAMS etc.
Monsoon waves are never clear but they are huge!
THORNY OYSTER...
To the left of the coast there's a cliff/headland...
COCKLES
OK, time to leave... :D SO, below are the finds from this trip! (Though not as extensive as those of other trips...)
