Kuantan--Jalan Telok Cempedak

Decades ago, when I was younger than Ian and Aria, our family made a trip to Kuantan and stayed at the now venerable Hyatt Regency on the coast at the end of Jalan Telok Cempedak.

Ian and Aria had loads of fun with their newly purchased sling shots from Cameron Highlands.

Back where our car was parked, we found a few uninvited guests picking through the trash cans.
