Pulau Perhentian (III)

The Deluxe Sea View that we stayed looked misty after the heavy rain on yesterday night.
The sea was calmed and felt the breezy and coolness.
PS getting her last chance of playing in the water. She was looking for sea shells and beautiful corals.
Double checked these tickets as be needing to show the boat man before boarding in the speed boat to take us back to Kuala Besut at 1200 hours.
Looking out into the sea for the final time before packing for departure.
Not satisfied in viewing therefore I snapped this view to bring home as rememberance.
Took the speed boat at 1130 hours then we got the opportunity to go to Fauna Chalets as boat man needed to pick 9 passengers up to bring them to Kuala Besut. To my discovery, Fauna and Flora Chalets are side by side. No jetty for these chalets.
HB and PS waited patiently in their seat for the arrival of the nine passengers.
This is the way to board the speed boat for tourists staying at Fauna and Flora Chalets. Passengers will have to climb up the man made wooden stairs to board into the speed boat.
Take a look at the passengers boarding the speed boat.So inconvenient. Luckily, the Abdul's Chalets have a proper jetty to pick HB,PS and I up.
On the returning trip, PS got to drive the speed boat. Is it safe then?
Had reached the Kuala Besut's Jetty.
Reached at 1221 hours.
Heading for the souvenir shops.
From Kuala Besut, we walked to the bus station. Missed the public bus and next alternative was taking a cab. Cab driver wanted to charge RM50.00 for driving to Kota Bharu's town.A couple agreed to share the cab fare equally among the 5 of us. Had to bear with the hot air because the cab's air cond was out of order.After taking an hour drive by cab to Kota Bharu town, we came to Laman Siti Khatijah for our lunch. HB ordered Mee Ratna, PS ordered Tomyam Bee Hoon and Fried Kueh Teow for me. Drinks were ice lemon tea, air sirap aka syrup water, ice tea. Total amout was RM16.00. Very costly for the kind of food and drinks ordered. We were 'cut throat' by the vendor knowing that we're tourists.Unfair!
The famous market aka Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah. All the vendors are women.
View of the Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah.
Upper floor consists of textiles for sale.
Variety of kuih muih aka cakes found inside of Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah.

HB and I waiting for the Air Asia flight back home to LCCT. Flight time was at 1700 hours and touching down at 1755 hours.
Saw KL view and especially the tallest tower aka Petronas Twin Tower from the window. We had reached home safely.
