Road Trip to Kuantan - 28 March 2009 - Day 2
Sungai Lembing is a tin mining town developed by the British in the 1880's. This a small town which once boasted having the largest tin mine on earth. The tin mine was managed by the Pahang Consolidated Company Limited, (PCCL). For more info on Sg Lembing's history, click here.

When we got near the food court we noticed the blue canvases indicating that there was a morning market near the food court. Our car was parked there and we had decided to have our breakfast first before removing the car out from where it was.

Mnch and I had won tan mee for breakfast, Rachel had 3 pieces of fried brinjal with meat and roti canai (indian bread) and Mctc had flat rice noodles and 5 pieces of yong tau fu. We were all very hungry after the climb.


We went to the museum (blog later) and after that wanted to visit the crystal place. Not sure what it was and what to expect.


They said they bought some honey and uncooked noodles.




We couldn't find the noodles, so we head back to Sg Lembing town again.



We stopped by Gua (cave) Charas on the way, but didn't go into the cave. Hmm... sounds kind of weird. Let me rephrase it..
On the way back to Kuantan, we saw a tall cave sticking out from far away. Since it was only 4 km to the cave, we decided to check it out. When we were approaching the cave, we saw a sign saying that we had to pay RM2 if we wanted to park the car. All of us didn't want to go into the temple (There was an Indian temple in the cave), and so we decided to leave the place.
