Pangkor: Let's find some fish!

Went to Pangkor last week and it was a blast. I took a ferry from Marina Bay instead of Lumut, the usual place. It has new facilities going up around there. There were so many things to do in the island in so little time! I was not really coming for a holiday, but hey, when you travel you have to bear in mind that you are a traveller and you must act like one! Here are some of the things that you can do upon your arrival to Pangkor:

Snorkeling and Banana Boat
Have a good time snorkeling with your friends. You can also rent a Banana Boat to enjoy the waves.



Kayaking
Feel like going across the ocean? Go for some kayaking around the island and you'll be able to see some small islands surrounding Pangkor.



Cycle and Motorbike
For as low as RM2 per hour(approx. 40p/less than a buck), you can rent a bike and cycle across the island. But make sure that the brakes and the gears are okay! Since it is cheap, you are prone to have bikes that malfunction. As for motorbike, you can rent one at about RM25 per hour (roughly 5pounds/more than 10 bucks).





Taxi!
If you don't feel like exercising, you can just get a pink taxi across the island at about RM10. There are a few interesting spots that you can visit, such as the Chinese temple, the Dutch port, and the town center itself where you'll find some interesting seafood.

Lookout for the blue-eyed anchovies!
I am not sure if they are really that blue-eyed, but be sure to look for some! The price is a bit expensive compared to the typical ones (probably because of the contact lens), but some people said they are simply delicious when cooked.



We also found a friend of Paul along the way!
