Catching the sun before it sets

The holiday is ending. It was a quiet and restful two weeks with a few busy trips to Melaka and KL. on top of it two wake services to attend. One of it was Uncle Lincoln's who was 90. 

On Friday we decided to drive to Port Dickson to watch the sunset. We started off at 5 pm. We exited the first toll and tuned into Pantai Cahaya. Our favorite beach here.

Some changes have been made. There is a bridge that connects the mainland to a little swampy island. Usually we would be very careful here because we need to leave the island when the tide comes in or we'll be trapped. This time we found platform has been built to enable us to walk into the island whether there is a tide or not. The sad part is a lot of trees have been cut to build the platform. 

As the tide was low, we were able to walk around the island. The kids went off on their own and walked to the rocky side overlooking the sea. It was totally secluded and nice and we had a great time in this corner taking pictures of the sunset. 

It was still hot when we arrived about 5.40pm. 
The tree, the sea and the rocks. I'll never get tired of the sea even though it is the same place that we visit each time. 
Walking the rocky path to the secluded side of the island where we found a pond and lots of balitung amongst the rocks. 

Various shades of sunset. 
Finally we got off the island. Was a bit difficult to walk on the rocks with slippers. So didn't want to stay till its too dark. 

Then off to find dinner. We went to the roundabout before Teluk Kemang. Lots of shops along this road. We wanted Ramli burger. So went to a Malay restaurant and ordered Ramli burger. It was so so delicious. 

What a great way to end the holiday.
