mind blowing! |
Hot (as usual), partly cloudy, not
too sticky - 29 real feel 33

We aren’t scheduled to arrive in Sebang until after lunch,
so we are in no rush this morning. We do however have a breakfast date with all
of the other 26 Grand Voyage passengers. We meet another couple from Dallas,
but because this is a sit-down rather than a cocktail type mixer we don’t meet
too many others – that’s fine with me.
After breakfast is a talk on Myanmar where we will be
visiting on Friday for 3 days. Myanmar is yet another country that I know very
little about…really much of what I know about many countries of the world,
including where they are on a map is from visiting there.
very refreshing |
After driving through the winding streets, seeing houses, shops
and the people who live there we stop at Wey Beach on the Strait of Malacca.
I’m pretty sure this is most gorgeous beach I’ve ever visited. The crystal
clear water is in various shades of blue and green and the waves are
substantial – substantial for what I’ve experienced. There are cows, goats and
chickens roaming and I drink a freshly chopped coconut – delicious and
refreshing…I’m reminded by a friendly fellow passenger to go easy as coconut
tends to have ‘effects’ on the digestive system – I’m aware of this, but it is
a good reminder!
Next we stop at Pantai Tapak Gajah
beach, where there is the remains of a hilltop fortress the Japanese built
during World War II. There’s not much besides the remnants of the concrete
bunkers and gun emplacements dug into the sides of the cliff.
coconut refreshments |
After a couple more stops to gaze over
the incredible water we say goodbye to our guide.
This tour was surprisingly wonderful. If
I could visit a tiny place like this for the next week, I’d be happy. We’ll see
if my digestive system says the same thing tomorrow!!
