Trip to East Coast (8-14 December, 2007)

Other than having fun on its beautiful islands surrounded by crystal clear water, what else can we do while traveling to the east coast? I have been wondering about this for a long time. Finally, I've managed to spend my time there during the last couple of weeks. Perhaps, you may be asking why travel to the main land, isn’t that CiT an island traveling team? Of course it is, but due to the adverse weather in east coast at this time (monsoon season), we would just visit some “tourist spot” in the main land. This time we have our big brother Ted with us.

This trip was actually suggested by Ted, who has been called for presentation in a conference somewhere in Cherating bay. We decided to start from there. The trip started as Ted came to meet me a day earlier than the starting date of his conference. We rent in a resort and spent a few days over there. It was a windy afternoon, and we have decided to do our warm-up in Cherating. Days later, we move north to the state of Terengganu and Kelantan and stop by many stations along the way. The trip was really great and full of fun, and it deserves really a great deal to be written here. Here are some photograph taken during the trip. Well, let the pictures tell the story :)
