Journey to Terengganu (Terengganu Trip Day 1)

TM's uncle organized this trip, a sotong fishing cum diving trip, and we were invited. So the 3 of us, Barry, Dean, myself went along with TM's family, with 3 other families on this trip to the Malaysian heartlands.

3 vehicles were used for this trip, and the 4 of us shared a rented minivan with another family, which I dub the 'Watermelon' family, for their perchant for watermelons, as I'd find out later on the trip. The trip was a long one, and leaving at 11, we were prepared to sleep all the way there.


Lunch was at the above roadside cafe, which had the distinction of being the most housefly infested eating place I've been to. At any one time, there would be at least 10 houseflies trying to get to your food. We had to gobble it up as soon as the food arrived. Next to the cafe was a row of fruit stalls, and the families bought oranges, durians, and yes, 4 watermelons.

The rest of the journey was long and uneventful. It was 7 when we reached our dinner place. Apparently the restaurant which we had dinner was famous for stuffed crabs. They even have a website: www.stuffedcrab.com. It was really good. We finally reached the house at 10. It wasn't as big a place I had expected, and the 4 of us squeezed into a section of the living room. That was the end of the first day.
