From Kuantan, I ended up riding much further than planned again after deciding on-route to bypass Lake Cini and do a quick drive by at Pekan, Rompin and Endau. If it wasn’t a rainy, low season day, they all would be worth a visit, but it’s not, so i decided to push on to the port town of Mersing. An unremarkable port town with the exception that it is the gateway to Palau Tioman and my tropical paradise…I hope.
