Kuantan the capital of Pahang

Just the last week before college resume i manage to sneak back to my hometown for a little break.
.
Away from the temporary job at KCP and away from the city.
.
Although Kuantan is the capital of Pahang, the life here is definitely LESS LESS tense here.
.
Even driving in Kuantan is less stressful here.
.
.
.

.

Going back to Kuantan would usually mean boredom to me.
.
Especially when i'll be going back once every few months for hols.
.
But this time, its different.
.
Totally different as my EX-colleague came along for a short break too.
.
.
.
Kuantan River Cruise was the 1st event of the trip.
.
At RM15 per pax, we cruise along the river with many interesting sight.
.
From fishing boats to fishing area and mangroove sites.

This boat were filled with lights to attract the 'sotong' (calamari) at night.
.
.
.

This is one of the boat accupied by a family, anchored by the river.
.
.
.

At one point along the river, we stopped by a site for sight seeing.

Its a paya bakau area

The next destination was Sungai Lembing on the following day.
.
Sg. Lembing is located bout 40 km from Kuantan town.
.
It used to be lombong bijih timah, but now a village with very low population.
.
Most of the villagers has migrated either to Kuantan to seek a better living or to heaven.


Due to its location at he river bank.
Sungai Lembing has encountered a very bad flood back at the 1970's
The flood water did rose as high as the height of the red roof in the picture above.
