Trip To The Beaches In 1 Day! - Part 3




It was dusk when we arrived in Kerteh the day before.


We're attracted to the flame.


As we got closer, the excitement increased.


There were many flame towers.


It's a sight to behold. 


Bursting every few seconds.


They're everywhere


On the right, was next to the sea.











What the town looks like during the day


It's an oil town










We first came across this small town in March 2012 and again this time around.  The view during the night is more beautiful .  We had to cross this town on our way to the beaches and back.  I rolled down the window and had to quickly roll it up back again.  The air smelled of cooking gas.

Anyway, this is the only small town in Malaysia with McDonald's restaurant.  Normally only big cities are worthy of a McD.  Well, maybe because there are many expatriates in this town and they flood Kuantan during the weekend for some fun - a 2 hour drive away.  I was made to understand that there are no cinemas in Terengganu for them to enjoy themselves on their off days.

And after this,  we're off to our next beach encounter.
