PS and I took a pix of what was left from the World War II, Menara Loceng aka Bell Tower.
Menara loceng aka Bell Tower has lost it's bell. What was remained was the standing wooden tower.
Bell Tower was built by the prisoners in the year 1918.
By 11.30am, we were back in the hotel room resting. Our checked out time was delayed to 1.00pm therefore HB spend his time by surfing the internet using free wifi.
