Febuary's trip: Northern Expedition of Peninsula Malaysia and Thailand (13/2/19 - 15/2/19) finale


On the last day of our trip (15/2/19), that guest house host brought to tour around the prestigious Melati Lake (Tasik Melati) in Perlis. It is just few kilometers away from the town centre as well as Beseri town of Perlis. Indeed, Tasik Melati has an appealing scenery which is able to lure morning joggers to jog around the lake while enjoy looking the scenery. For me, I felt that lake is like the miniture version of Taiping Lake in Perak which has a calm and tranquil scenery along with beautifully designated pavilions on the lake for the joggers and visitors to take a break...
Here are few photos of Tasik Melati, Perlis.

After visiting Tasik Melati, it was the time for me to say goodbye to Perlis State. I was about to depart to Kuala Lumpur (going back to face the reality). That host sent me to the nearest KTM station in order to go back to Kuala Lumpur. Upon arriving to there, I realized that the ticket from Perlis to KL Sentral was sold out already. Therefore, I ended up to have a backup plan to commute Komuter from Arau, Perlis to Butterworth, Penang first since I have relative staying there as well as I could make use that chance to travel in Georgetown, Penang.

I need not to explain much of Penang, since Penang (island part) is usually regarded as the popular tourist destinations and heritage site among the foreigners. 
Here are a few photos of mine when I had my 'touch n go' visit in Penang island.

After finishing my 'touch n go' daytrip, I took ferry back to mainland again to meet my aunt. She treated me with the local delicacies there such as Laksa and Cendol. Then, she brought to visit the nearest temples in Butterworth such as Tow Boo Kong (9th Emperor Temple)...

Then, I booked express bus to depart from Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur in the evening. That was the end of my Northern Expedition of Peninsula Malaysia. We may have explore so many mainstream tourist places in Malaysia, however, we can't not try to visit some rural and not mainstream places in Malaysia. Although these places may seem to be so rural and outback compared to the renowned tourist destinations, but these places indeed are hidden with the tourism potential to be discovered.
