WARNING: This post has LOADS of photos!
Over a long weekend in April, I decided I needed a get away, a get away from the mounting work, a get away from the boring weekends at home, a get aw
ay from it all. So I joined a group and headed to Kukup.
Much to my surprise, three out of five friends do not know where Kukup is. Just in case you are one of those who do not know where Kukup is
Kukup is a small fishing village located about forty kilometres southwest of Johor Bahru, in the district of Pontian, Johor, on the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia. It is famous for its open-air seafood restaurants built on stilts over the water. Some of the restaurants are geared for tour groups, and it is particularly popular with tourists from Singapore. Regularly scheduled ferries connect Kukup with Tanjung Balai in Indonesia.
It was a simple 2 days 1 night affair. Day 1 started of with us boarding a chartered bus. The bus took us to a Go-Kart Centre in JB. I never tried Go-Kart before, I was one of the first to hop onto the Go-Kart! The photo says its all:
My journeys are never complete without some arty shots!
On my way out of the Go-kart centre.
It took us another 1.5hs drive to reach Kukup itself. We stayed in one of those bungalow resorts built on stilts over the water.
