Every year after we got married in 1975, Christine and I made a pilgrimage to Kuantan to visit her family. We flew from Miri to Singapore, staying overnight in a hotel and the next morning at Arab Street we caught a bus which took us across the causeway to Johore, Mersing and Kuantan. The first time in 1975 we had to cross two rivers by ferry at Rompin and Mersing. The whole bus journey took over 7 hours.
Eugene went for a swim at Kuantan beach. The sand particles are really large and easy to wipe off. Surprisingly not many people swam in the sea. Further up from Kuantan, half way to Trengganu is Cherating, a well known Club Med resort.
