Cherating oh Cherating

We planned to go out to the Turtle Sanctuary up in Cherating to get some news on the turtle watching opportunities. Driving up there, we found that the center was closed due to it being a public holiday. We were then told that we could come later in the night to watch the turtle.
There was a nice breeze (gale?)blowing, so we took out the kite and flew it there. And fly it did! we ran out of string, and it was still tugging away, threatening to fly off. The pix here kinda says it; the speck on the top right is the kite, and the speck on the bottom left is Amalyna.
We drove up to Kuala Kemaman to get keropok and other stuff and ran into and old school mate/ bandmate. He was quite surprised to see us buy out the store.
We recalled having visited an arts and craft village in our previous visits; and along the way, we found nestled amongst village house chalets off the main road a little restaurant calles Intan Seafood. It was a thatched roof hut facing the sea, airy with the sea breeze blowing through; The ambiance was something out of the movie "the Beach" with caravans and tents parked right outside the restaurant. The interesting thing about this place was the fresh, fresh fish, and the size of the buttered prawns was to die for!



No doubt there wasnt much left in the way of leftovers. We found the arts and craft village, but renovations were just completing so they were not open.
