After a short visit to the town, we headed back with a short stop in Tanjung Karang for 2nd lunch. My daughter wanted KFC. My good friend Mas is from Tanjung Karang, and my father remembered her house as we used to give her a ride back to our hostel last time. However, she's now in Sudan and will only be back next month. If she's around, we would've stopped by and have her mom's Nasi Ambeng.
Our last stop was Kuala Selangor's Bukit Melawati. Have not been there for years. Aliyah was so excited because we told her there were "meriam" (canons) at the top of the hill just like the ones in Pirates of the Caribbean. We took the tram/train to go up - with many people around you can imagine us having to fight our way up. The Majlis Perbandaraan should create some sort of queuing system lah. Anyway, the trip up was fun. We went down at the top of the hill, visit the museum before going down.

My Kak Long, our walking history book err... my father and Nizam on the tram. Beautiful view. My father told us all these stories about the Bugis and the Dutch who were at war at this very hill.

At the back is the lighthouse.

Aliyah and her Abang Ijam looking at monkeys. The monkeys here are called Silver Leaf monkeys - they have this crown-like hair and they are black and kind of silver in colour. Nizam bought a packet of peanuts. Naturally the peanuts got snatched :)

Such a nice trip to a place I once called home.
