Endau Rompin trip Oct/Nov?

It’s in the works.
The tentative itinery is a 3 day 2 night adventure. We will be having an early Saturday morning drive down to Selai Endau-Rompin.

** Update ** After Raya… (and Myanmar)

Gua Tempurung/Ipoh makan trip!

While plans changed and the timetable was thrown out of whack, we managed to get to Gua Tempurung. Unfortunately Connie couldn’t join us and running thirty minutes late meant that we had to skip our coffee break at Bidor. That said, we made good progress and despite one wrong turn, we arrived at 9:30am. After getting out tickets, we soon entered this fascinating dark world. There’s lots of walking, some crawling and splashing in water, a fair bit of crouching plus a bit of sliding and squeezing yourself into pretty tight areas.

The photos are here. And in case you’re wondering how difficult is it?

Eugene’s rating: TOO EASY!

Oh, of course we had to have good food so we headed up to Ipoh… which is another story by itself…

Plan to shoot; shoot to a plan!

Heck.
7.5Gb of photos.
And not enough!
Thinking this through resulted in one conclusion: the final objective has to be defined.
In other words, making a little travel journal/photo book from my travel photos requires planning and more planning way before a trip takes place. Of course, new ideas can take place but at least I won’t be caught short or have insufficient photos.
