pangkor part 3...

We rented a motorcycle that evening for round island trip. It costs Rm30 for 1 day but most of the time the owner never fill up the tank before renting to the tourist. U can rent from your resorts or one of the shops near the beach. So be smart and check which motorbike has the most fuel and check that the brake and lamp is functioning properly.

why? Because when u round island with the bike its like a roller coaster ride due to the very wavy terrain. One second ur going up a steep hill and then the moto is like having barely enough "oomph" to carry 2 people up. Then another second ur rolling down the hill while u pray hard the brake is working..lol. The moto we used was half tank full but the brake was not very effective. Luckily we didnt rolled down hill with the bike lol.


Example of one of the shops renting motorcycles...

If u go round island u get to see the houses built by the shores and the people living around there...some involved in fishery business.



Another wooden plank house by the beach with a ?jetty. More after this....
