On the way to get the inquiries, I realized all the bungalow villas in the resort are not managed under one management. They are separated according to the positions and the rooms in a bungalow. So I visited 3 parts of the resort and what I get after these visits is to call to the headquarter in Kuala Lumpur, as they don't let their customers to do future booking in-situ. This is a pretty new method I see people manage a resort. I amazed.
After getting out from the resort, I let Blackie, once again, lead me to the next destination-Rachado Cape, the historical hill with historical light tower. At first the journey quite surprising for me, again, as Blackie this time led me to my destination through village area and palm oil tree plantation area. But after being told by my mother, I realize that the road I taken is just the usual road for anyone who wants to go to Port Dickson (Rachado Cape is situated next to Port Dickson). I took 2 beautiful scenery photos along the road, despite the day, the sky, and the cloud are so amazingly attractive, with each of them contrasting each other's characteristics. I think maybe this is because the sky had been washed by a series of rainy days.
After reaching the destination, I thought any visitor who wants to reach to the light tower should walk along the jungle track (almost similar to the track of Tampin Hill). After seeing somebody drove their car on the track, I thought maybe I could just follow the way they used, although it is illegal according to the signboard stood there. Not to mention about the hotels there. they are so amazing beautiful when looked from front, but also amazingly not-so-beautiful from the back.
Along the track I saw a group of visitors coming down from the hill. Seeing the way they looked at me, I thought maybe they were thinking that "this is not fair!", as they thought the track only open for walkers, not drivers, but after a hard journey going up and down the hill, they saw a weird guy driving a small car going up the hill, and realized that the rules stated below there is actually just a shit. Nevermind it, it's just some of my thoughts and imaginations.
When I reached to the hill, and when I saw that pure white light tower, contrasted with blue sky, white cloud and greeneries around it, I just want to say that "this is just like being in Greece!!" (although Greece doesn't have these much of greeneries) So I took out Blackie and took as many scene as possible on the hill. Going up to the light tower is just a normal journey for me, as the view already shown in my eyes while I'm at it's foot. But when you turn to the back of the tower... "WOW!", just like what they said when they promote Microsoft Windows Vista. The sea view, captured by the trees and tall grass on the top, is really something new to me (not to mention "surprise" also).
Rachado Cape is actually the best spot to view various raptors that usually not seen in Malaysia. They came during March and September, if I'm not mistaken, and so those birdwatchers from all over the country. The reason why I want to go there at this time is because that I planned to go there another time in the coming March. Now I want to explore a little bit in order the next time I go will be more familiar with the surrounding. If anyone want to go into the light tower, a special letter should be obtained first from dunno-where-is-it place, as there is a special signboard stood there saying this rules. So this time, I don't have the chance to get into the light tower. They said that looking at the sea while on the top of the light tower in a nice weather, you actually can see the Malaysia's neighbor-Indonesia. Since I can't get into the tower, then I have no chance in getting a single photo from there.
After the fantastic view at the top of the hill, I travel down the hill and turned to the small road, which to my amaze, lead me to the sea side, or in other word, beach. Again, to my amaze, the smell of the sea is really... it's like there is somebody cooking a soup which 80% of the ingredient is of fishes, seaweeds etc., while there are still crowds in the sea. Yucks... Anyway, the sand of the beach is quite fine. Since there are a lot of rubbish and trash along the beach, I really don't like to suggest this beach to anyone, unless they want to see how it really looks like and feels like when standing in such a beach.
After the whole journey here, I continued my way to Jusco in Seremban 2, in order for me to fill up dear deer at the petrol station along the road, while I could have a chance to search for the latest book from J K Rowling. When I reached there, I was amazed again, as Jusco had started to collect entrance fee from their customers with RM 1 per entrance. Anyway, lucky to me, the entrance fee doesn't make itself a waste to me, as I found the book I want there, and also a magazine published by PAM.
The whole journey is considered a fruitful journey. This is because I took so many white and blue photos that could let me create a beautiful collage out from Google Picasa 3 Beta version. I really like it and have made it as my desktop wallpaper. Besides, I also got the latest book from J K Rowling, which I have been long to have one (although it's just published a few days ago). As the conclusion, this is also considered another success journey for me.
p/s: Finally, now I can map my photos on Google Maps and share it right here. Thanks to Google.^^
