Ayer Keroh

the sand dune from a far at dusk, we walked appx 3km to and fro the main road. The hike was a brief and easy not too winding or hilly, wearing a sneaker or flipper it's good enough. it's good to check the time of sun down as the way to the main road is dim.

Bukit Rambai

Aerial drone view of rural scenery with tropical trees in Mount Ledang National Park, Johor, Malaysia.

Tangkak

We found this fort by accident after making a wrong turn. It is off a small paved road with its own parking lot and one lonely sign giving a brief discription. The abandoned restaurant by the entrance and the fact not one peron was around made it rather spooky. The view over the Strait of Melacca is definitely worth the trip though!
