Pulau Jerejak's Trip

It's a shame that Penangites never been to Pulau Jerejak, rite? This is what I used to hear before. Hehe..

I've been staying in Penang for the past 20 years and I've never been to Pulau Jerejak. Since young, we were told that Pulau Jerejak was an abandoned island, was a prison, was a rehabilitation site for lungs diseases patients. And thus, it makes Pulau Jerejak an unattractive island.

(Took at the jetty, a bit glaring though)

Then one day, we (all Moores Rowland Penang audit staff) decided to visit Pulau Jerejak. Pulau Jerejak has been continuosly promoted by the Penang Tourism lately.

By the way, do you know where is Pulau Jerejak? It's a small island by the Penang Bridge and can be vividly seen from Queensbay Mall.

After meeting at McDonald's Greenlane and took our McBreakfast, we headed to the jetty and took a ferry ride from Penang Island which takes about 15 minutes to reach Pulau Jerejak. Upon reaching there, we hired 8 bicycles and took turn to cycle as there are 15 of us and we could only take up 8 bicycles while the rest are either spoilt or with punctured tyres!

We cycled round Pulau Jerejak and took some pictures. Then, we went for buffet lunch, though not very tasty, but we were so tired and hungry, and we ate a lot.

Took a rest by the seaside for beach volleyball, listening to the waves etc. Then, we went for Suspension Bridge and Flying Fox. This is the finale. It was very exciting as I never tried Flying Fox before!! You should try that!!

Well, it was a fun day for all of us, I felt so contented, though I have sun burns all around my arms and face. It was en enjoyable day indeed!

Bye Bye, Jerejak!!
