I know you are waiting for something from me, but let’s finish this first. Apologies for the long long long hiatus.
We walked to market beside the library and had our breakfast – the delicious and highly acclaimed “mountain water beancurd” + Lembing noodles. I personally think they both taste nice when you are hungry. LOL.

We went back to our room, cleaned up and packed everything before heading out to the inner part of the town, the only one and the most famous tin mine.

We were taken into one of the entrances and the feeling was… eerie! The local aka our guide for the day explained a lot of stuffs about this tin mine but I did not listen most of the time. Anyways, it was once the world’s largest and deepest underground tin mine.

We adjourned to the museum which is just nearby the tin mine. The weather that day didn’t really help either as it was scorching hot and humid. The museum itself is not air-conditioned, thus try imagine walking in when you are already sweating a lot. I didn’t stay very long, just snapped whatever I wanted and then got out and cool myself under the shade outside the building. Nonetheless, the visit was well worth because there are a lot of informative stuffs and things you have not seen before.

The visit took some time, and thereafter we went for tea break aka lunch at a coffee shop. The stuffs there were so good, we walloped everything that came our way. LOL.
Random food #1 – char siew pao with egg
Random food #2 – glutinous rice
The next visit was Pasir Kubur recreation area where you can picnic with your friends and families. The river bed is full of stones and the water is refreshingly cool. We didn’t picnic there except to have a look at what other people did on weekend.

The last stop was Gua Charas (Charas Cave), a little further away from the town. We were surprised to find a Hindu temple and a reclining Buddha inside the cave.

After spending some time, we finally left the town and back to reality again. -END-
