We are now in the plane but unfortunately due to the rain, an additional 1 hour delay was spent on the tarmac.

While waiting, bought myself a chocolate bar. Breakfast for me.

Waiting and looking at the time on my watch ticking away slowly.

There are some shops in this terminal but not as many as in KLIA.

After checking in, waiting for sometime at the waiting lounge. Took a selfie. Compared to KLIA, LCCT looks third world!

Over the Hari Malaysia long weekend, I attended my company's trip to Surabaya, Indonesia. Flying by AirAsia meant the use of LCCT as the flight terminal instead of KLIA Airport. Because of that, a bus was provided to bring the staff from Mid Valley to LCCT.

Everyone is satisfied and getting ready for the long journey back to Kuala Lumpur.

Restaurant was packed.

The kids getting restless after the meal.

About 20 or so kilometers away from Kellie's Castle is the town of Tanjung Tualang. Made famous by the number of restaurants specialising in Tiger Prawns. The specilisation is so absolute that this town has been given the honour as the Tiger Prawn Capital of Malaysia. We found a restaurant and quickly went to choose the items we want to eat. The interesting thing about this particular restaurant is that everything that we want to eat is still alive and swimming. Below is a tank full of large tiger prawns.

More information.

Some write-up about the family that owned the property.

Mine and my friends' from Bahamas' kids.

This is part of the destroyed home which used to house the previous owner of the property. The plan was them to move to the castle when completed and keep the original house as a guest house.

The castle as seen from the internal courtyard.

There are actually two houses on the property. The first is a normal house which was destroyed during World War 2. My son posing next to an old wood fired oven in the destroyed house.

One section of the house was completed by the museum authorities to show how it would look like if completed. Looks nice using period furniture.

If the castle was allowed to be completed, it will be one heck of a house.

The tourists reception area is on one side of a river while the castle is on the other side. A walking bridge linked both sides.

About 70 km North of Sungkai is the town of Batu Gajah where you will find Kellie's Castle. An uncompleted castle of a Scotsman. The grounds have been beautified with tourists in mind.

That night after going back to the pools, we all got dressed to have dinner at the main cafe. Food is fine. If you want to eat out of the resort you need to drive out and it could be a distance before you find a decent restaurant.

I took a picture of a palm tree being bathed with a spotlight. Looks eerie doesn't it.

A close up of the tall buildings. Interesting designs.

A close up of the ornate bridge.

Here as well you will find a very ornate bridge linking the opposite sides of the lake.

On this part of the lake, you are allowed to use motorised water vehicles.

At this location one can also find the tallest buildings in Putrajaya. These are for 4 different Ministries such as Multimedia & Telecommunication etc.

Last Sunday took a lazy watch along Putrajaya Lake. The weather was overcast which made it a perfect walking environment with strong winds whipping across the body of water. Over the horizon you can see the Maritime Sports Complex (to the left).

The area outside the cave entrance.

Although not that obvious but its quite a drop from where we were standing.

As go deeper into the hill, it gets cooler and fresh cool wind can be felt. Underground rivers help circulate the air.

It is estimated that the height from the floor and the ceiling the cave spans 10 stories high!

The colours on the walls were breathtaking.

After lunch, we decided to head towards Gua Tempurung.The cave is located in Lembah Tempurung (Tempurung Valley) near Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia. It is 25 km to the south of Ipoh, the capital of the state of Perak. The cave was first identified in 1887 in the Map of Perak-Malay Peninsula, which indicated a mountain spelt as “Gunong Tempoo Rong”. The Department of Minerals and Geosciences estimated the age of the rock formations in the area of Gua Tempurung to be between 250 and 400 million years. The cave was also known locally as Gua Perah. Large and intricate cave system with beautiful speleotherms like stalagmites, stalactites, rim stone pools, curtains, straws, calcite crystals and pillars. These and more form the natural limestone cave architecture. The most commonly known formations are stalagmites (growing on the cave floor) and stalactites (growing on the cave ceiling or wall). For more information go to: http://www.guatempurung.com/ The biggest cave system in Peninsular Malaysia. You can spend hours walking through the various chambers that make up the cave system.

Tables and chairs for the guests.

Two goats were roasting...

Last Saturday was my parent's open house for Raya. Over 200 guests came. Had to cater due to the crowd. Did it stall style.

The water that comes out of the source is well over 100 degree Celsius (it is possible to be hotter than boiling as minerals in the water increased the boiling point to exceed the boiling point of pure water).

Sprawling property. Loads of open spaces to play football and such.

Leaving our stuff in the car we headed towards the pools.

We arrived early, so our villa is not ready yet but we are all roaring to go to the pools.
