Day +992 : Holiday at Tasik Kenyir (8)

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday…

We reached Herbal Island at 12:30pm. The island is another tourist destination in the lake with a very large collection of herb. We found many of the herbs were labeled.

Though a heaven for herb lover, we only spent 45 minutes on this island as we were not much interested in herbs.

While on the island, we were given complimentary Tongkat Ali drink at Pondok Harmoni. The drink was very bitter - definitely not the one that we could sip slowly to enjoy its taste. The guy there advised us to swallow the whole cup of drink at once.

Herbal Island was the last stop of our lake adventure. We headed to Lake Kenyir Resort and Spa Jetty at 1:15pm and reached there at 2:00pm.
