Day 3 started off quite early too. This time round, it was a voluntarily thingy. We wanted to avoid the anticipated high traffic on the last day of a long weekend. After packing up, we took advantage of the rain-less morning to snap some photos of the beautiful beach which we will surely miss. It was a miles & miles of clean sandy beach.

Can't really see the end of the beach. Kinda foggy. Nice eh? I bet you sure to fall in love with it after looking at these photos. Anyway, after doing what we suppose to do, we bid farewell to Ruby and her gang and left for Kemaman for breakfast at this famouse kopitiam (coffee shop) called 'Hai Peng' recommended by Uncle Barran. We were told that Hai Peng started off as a small little coffee shop in Kemaman and now, they have a whole building of their own. Selling coffee also can make so much money one arr???
(since 1940)
We parked our car opposite Hai Peng. Kemaman has a very hi-tech carpark system. All we have to do is, key in our parking number which you can find at the parking box. Then, insert coins. That easy. No need to display any parking tickets on our dashboard. Senang right? Environmental friendly somemore, paperless. This is what I called smart government.

We had a packet of 'ikan bilis nasi lemak', The nasi lemak taste kinda weird cause it have a whole big piece of mackerel fish instead of those little crunchy ikan bilis that we are used to. Too fishy for an early morning breakfast. We didn't finish it.
Besides nasi lemak, we also ordered two toast buns, 1 toast bread, 1 classic coffee and 1 teh. The buns were a little too hard for our likings. The slice bread & coffee were alright though. Seriously, not to say I Kluang people or what la... serious seriously, Kluang Railway's toasts & nasi lemak taste far better than this one. Even my KL people think so too (i.e. Harrison..lols). Well, but if you are ever in Kemaman, no harm trying it out too. I like the atmosphere there though. :) It's peaceful and pleasant. At least you won't need to queue and wait till your kaki patah for sittings (unlike in Kluang).
After breakfast, on our way to the highway, we saw houses on both sides of the road were flooded. It must have been a gloomy Hari Raya Haji for these Malay folks. We were so blissful at Ruby's that we didn't even realise what's happening in the outside world (oh, I only get to know about the landslide yesterday, blur hor?). Luckily the resort we went to were alright. Otherwise arr... fu lat lor... no need to swim at the beach. Can swim right in our chalets. :p
(the beautiful scenery on way back to KL along the highway, nice hor?)
That's the end of our Cherating trip. Despite of the yucky weather, somehow, dunno how, we enjoyed ourselves very much and would still categorized this as a great vacation and can't wait to visit again. We love it.
P/s: This is the my first trip to a beach without getting a sunburn.
