FIRST ~ Penarik, Setiu 010504

Penarik, a very scenic village on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Home to fishermen who ekk their daily living by fishing the coastal waters.

And this is Penarik Inn, a collection of traditional chalets run by amiable Mr Baharuddin and his wife Kak Ana (Tel: +60 13 3260564), which faces the South China Sea. On the other side of the chalets runs the brackish Setiu River, home to fish, terrapins, shellfish and other aquatic critters. Mangroves line the other side of the river, providing a rich spawning ground.

A pleasant spot to unwind and watch the clouds roll by.
