We were kind of tired out somehow on the hour long flight, and walked out of our hotel to a nearby
Zi Char place forcheap but not-so-tasty Chinese food. We knew we wanted a car to go around as we don't see much taxis plying the roads and it'll be too costly to go point-to-point anyway. Planning for the day was simply a matter of selecting the places of interests and recording them in the GPS set.
The next day, we rented an RM80 Proton to zip around. It is a manual car (which means I can't drive it) and does not come with power steering - Karen has a helluva time wrestling with the wheels when doing reverse parking.
We wanted to know whether the weather is dry or wet then, but the big sunny skies says it all. We didn't get a drop of rain throughout our week's stay there, I think.
We had some difficulty trying to visit the cable car attraction because the GPS says it is not accessible by road; turns out the station is within this 'Oriental Village' place. It's just a place for tourists to take pictures in, with these funny looking buildings that bears no resemblances to anything oriental at all.
It was a very nice experience, because the cable car went up steeply and the wind whistled as it went through our car cabin. That's the Harbour Park and Burau Bay you see at the background.
The suspended bridge looks really nice and futuristic, and we want to go there too! There is an intermediate and a top station for the cable car station, and you can alight and board the cable car anytime to go further up or descend to base station.
Enjoying a childhood threat...
The whole island is really mountainous, and is one of the nicest resort island I've seen so far, by virtue of its varied landscape.
The suspended bridge has just one central pillar, and actually sways quite a bit even when everyone is just walking on it. Don't think too much when you're on it, just try to enjoy the view...
And after a climb back up to the top station, we descended and visited the shopping malls for the supermarkets. There really isn't much to shop for, so we just bought the essentials and returned to the resort. I rather watch Star Movies on cable...
