Day two and we headed to the local village to see traditional Malay houses and to trek to a waterfall.

After trekking uphill for what seemed like miles, the pool was so good to swim in.

It rained very heavily that afternoon, before it started Joan (one of the group) had gone out in a kayak and had to be rescued by a passing boat when the storm struck. In the evening we had a traditional Malay meal, sat on the floor, only eating with the right hand and no knives and forks. We even wore traditional Malay sarongs.

The next morning we were catching the coach from Kuala Kengsar, the royal town in the state of Perak. Before we left we saw a few of the sights including the Royal Palace and the Royal Mosque (below).
