Yeah, went for Rainbow Waterfall again after almost 2 years.
For my last Kuantan trip, please click this to view:
Kuantan Trip 2008We managed to go few places for this trip only.
It's really a short trip.
We went to Cherating to see fireflies at 1st of May night.
Anyway, this is totally disappointed trip for me this time if compare with my last trip which actually saw a lot of fireflies on the tree.
The guide told us that we missed the golden time to see fireflies.
We should see it around 7-8pm, not at 10pm.
HA! 7-8pm?? That time we still in Karak Highway on the way to Cherating~~
Besides, the full moon in the Lunar calendar also affected to see the fireflies.
Anyway, I don't know how true is it~
But, what i check in the Wikipedia, fireflies are active in 1-2 hours only after sunset.
The moral of story: must see fireflies at 7-8pm! The best moment to see~ After we see fireflies, we actually want to go Kemaman beach to see turtle also.
But, we need to go Rainbow Waterfall in the early of the next day morning.
We need to wake up at 4am.
So, we hit back to our guess house to rest.
The moral of the story: Must plan Rainbow waterfall in the 1st day of the trip. If it held on 2nd day, the night we can just go back to rest and it's wasted~ Okay!
2nd day, 2nd of May.
We depart from Kuantan to Rainbow Waterfall at 445am.
We reach there around 520am.
We have a breakfast at Sg. Lembing market.
Still, the food there is still nice to eat, especially the "Yong Dao Fu".
We wait there until 630, if not mistaken...then we depart to Rainbow Waterfall piedmont~
I really enjoy the trip to piedmont on the 4WD. We sit at the back of the 4WD.
hahaha...it's really funny and excited!
We must be alert when the lorry is moving, if not, i am assure that you will hit by plants or branches~~
After 1 hour, we arrived the piedmont, we start jungle trekking with cross over few rivers. It's not very high and my stamina was more than enough to hike 1 and 30mins all the way up to waterfall~
huh~ finally~ reached waterfall~ the view is still spectacular..so nice~
Around 11 something, we walk down to the piedmont and go back Sungai Lembing Market to change our wet clothes.
________________________________
Eat lunch there, then depart from Sungai Lembing to Cherating. This time, we went a small island for snorkeling.
huh~~~Cherating is a beautiful place. Don't need to describe much, just look at my photo, then you will understand~
The guide said that is Dinosaur's footstep (don't know real or not)
Okay, now, understand or not? Why I like the place so much?
ha~ It's really amazing, right?
This time I remember to ask the flyer from the guide we used to be last time.
