A DAY IN THE COUNTRY

This quaint town in the countryside of Tanjung Sepat delivers sunrises of grey-blue and gold.

Catch these views while walking along the looong Lover's Bridge. 

The town's folks come in rustic style to buy breakfast and no one blinks an eyelid, only us silly city slickers. Simple comfort food like fried vermicelli and chicken curry accompanied with local coffee "kaw kaw" (thick and strong) costs only RM5.

Food stalls are like little supermarkets with home grown fruits and vegetables.

The earth here must be God-sent. Trees are laden with mangoes that are perpetually in season.

 These huge jackfruits like "tumours" are all "bagged" up to stop the birds and squirrels from getting the first taste.  

Morning glory scaling to the sky,

wooden houses with verandas to sit and chat in the evenings

and sunsets with the tide rolling into the mangroves. 

Ahhh Flipper, how contented your life must be.
