Spoilt Trip

Rainy morning spoilt our waterfall trip. Heavy rain yesterday evening spoilt rest of our Sunday. Rivers swell with murky water. The whole town was sleepier today. We all woke late as we are suppose to be up at as early as 5am to leave for the waterfalls to catch the rainbow by 10am.

Unfortunately all turned wet! I took a stroll in the rain to the morning market with my new found friends to have our breakfast and a hot local coffee. The people in town are only active during daylight and basically they are hawkers and farmers selling freshly home grown vegetables. There are some old time miners still living their lives in this memorable town.

Since our watertrip was cancelled , we visited the Crystal house that holds a collection of variety of Crystal collected by this miner.  This Chinese old man who had worked in those mines for past 23 years before it was closed down in 1986. He had collected all sort of stones that he didn’t know they were worth when a geologist visited him in 2002. Since then he exhibits his Crystals for people to view.

More story of this old miner will be on my next blog of a story .

We went Charas Cave near Panching . It’s a tall lime stone hill and there is an Indian temple and sleeping buddha in there. Auspicious Shivan temple, biggest Shivalingga statue in Malaysia in South East Asia. Of cause India houses the biggest ever in Thanjavur temple.

The trip was good indeed as I had a good work out though!
