Day +1153 : Pangkor Trip – From Bidor to Sea View Hotel

I am fine today.

We reached Lumut Jetty before 11:00am, but the buses reached there about one hour later.

About thirty of us who traveled using private cars boarded an earlier ferry to Pangkor Island.

There were a lot of tourists visiting Pangkor Island due to the National Holiday that fell on Monday. The ferry was almost full.

The journey from Lumut Jetty to Pangkor Island took about 20 minutes only. This was a lot faster than the fishing boat that we rented two years ago which took about 45 minutes to reach.

There were plenty of "taxi" waiting at Pangkor Jetty. The ride From the Pangkor jetty to the Sea View Hotel took less than 5 minutes. Each taxi could take 12 passengers, and the trip cost RM12; RM1 per passenger.
