| Breakfast at Bandar Penawar. Unfortunately, Nur Cafe was not opened on Saturday so we had to content ourselves with bus station food which was not too bad. RM1 for small packet of nasi lemak. |
 |
| Seriously huge mushrooms were sprouting at the bus station. They were the size of saucers |

 |
| Lunch at Super Lobster |
 |
| Only remembered to take photo of this Nyonya fish |
 |
| After lunch, we took another route back ie via Jalan Bukit Lang which forks into 2. The right fork as recommended by Google Maps was a 1 km gravel path leading to Jalan Teluk Ramunia. Not wanting to take the gravel path as rain is coming, we took the left fork which led us to Temple Village, returning to Route 90 via Bayu Damai police station. We managed to get to Chalet Arked D'Punggai before the actual downpour. While waiting out the storm to past, a few decided to take a cat nap... |

 |
| It was divine intervention! God had planned for us to take shelter at Chalet Arket D'Punggai because he had wanted to show us a 5 star campsite and how to get around the system! After selecting our gazebo, we left to collect our cars |
 |
| Enroute to Bandar Penawar for our baths at the bus station and early dinner at Yam 918, we saw an army truck and this armoured vehicle on their way to Tanjung Lompat. Desaru Coasts is a popular entry point for illegal immigrants and smuggling activities hence there are constant army patrol around the area |

| Sunset at Punggai Beach. So peaceful until..... |
 |
| ....Mr Lim got his wheels stuck in the sand and between the pavement. It was 10 minutes of panic, solved by 5 strong men lifting the car's front and 3 ladies pushing the car by the sides |

| Escaped the system and paid very cheap fees. Pondok Pantai costs RM35 per 8 hourly rate but we selected Pondok Biasa which only costs RM15 per 8 hourly rate. In fact it was even better as it comes equipped with concrete tables and benches. As we did not set up our tents, we also escaped RM20 per pax charges! The gazebo was good for hanging hammocks as well |
