5 star for Pengerang Kelong

. Soon Hock Kelong .
Overall, this trip was rather fun though we were quite bored as we don’t fish and play majong. Time was moving slowly… so most of the time were spent playing card games (provided by the owners), eating and taking pictures.

I guess we were the only group that took the most pictures. Departure hall, in bumboat, 1st step onto kelong (when people were moving in to settle down), toilets, food, our "room", kelong structure and many more were captured into our cameras. A picture really tells a thousand word, therefore I would like to capture whatever we’ve experienced in my pictures and this post.

Though, it was no 5 star posh place for a short gateaway, the service we received from the owners were definitely 5 star. They offered us durians, reminded us more than once that there were fruits available after dinner etc. When I asked if they have chinese tea (cos I saw some pple drinking), the auntie told me that they (group members) actually brought those along with them, but if I’ll like to have a cup, she can offer me a cup (her own). When it was time for fish feeding, the uncle told us to take pictures and even waited for us to take out our cameras before throwing in the small fishes for feeding the BIG fishes.

It’s such small gesture that made me felt welcomed in their humble kelong/home.

To be cont’ (on fresh water, food, world cup/sleep)
