Terengganu and Kuantan, Malaysia

I am going to combine Terengganu and Kuantan here because we only spent three nights between the two towns. We had planed to spend five nights but quickly realized there was not enough to keep our interest for that long.

Shaun and I only spent two nights in Terengganu partially because there is not much there but also partially because the only reasonably priced guest house in town were the rudest guest house operators I have ever encountered. People that work in guest houses are normally friendly and helpful and easy going. These people were anything but. We walked around and took some pictures. That is pretty much it.

We only spent one night in Kuantan, where we also walked around a took some pictures. There a couple nice mosques. Just before it got dark one evening we took a disc to a soccer field in front of the most prominent mosque and threw the disc around. Not long passed before a group of locals were watching. We did not throw for long but we did continue until after it got dark using the lights surrounding the field. Throwing the disc around in a town in Malaysia against the backdrop of a one of the most beautiful mosques in the Muslim country was pleasant.

Both of these stops we basically to break up the trip en route to Melaka and so that we could arrive in Singapore on out intended date without spending too long in Melaka. We successfully spent three of the intended five days getting to Melaka, but that left us with two extra days. Which is not such a bad thing, of course.
