GOPENG TO LENGKAP – 90KM
3rd day of the ride, gosh…wonder how to survive today’s ride with the wound on my butt. Yet, today is gonna be a long ride.
A few historical sites we will visit today. Again, continue from route 1, came to a T-junction, turned in to route A8, this is an old highway and now a quiet road, good for cycling. A short ride for about 10km, we reached to Kellie’s Castle located at Batu Gajah. An unfinished, ruined mansion built by a Scottish planter, William Kellie Smith, in the 20th century. Okay, I am lazy to tell a long story here, so Google if you want to know more. Haha!
Then we turned in to route A15, another short ride, there lies an abandoned huge tin dredge ship. It’s a last tin dredge ship in Malaysia, The Tanjung Tualang Dredge No5, or TT5. The history can goes down to 1940. Again…Don’t let me bored you with history, go check with my secretary, Miss Google to know more. Kam xia (Thank you in Hokkien dialect).
But it was closed due to holiday, hence we could only snapped some pictures from a distance.
The highlight for today was the giant shrimp at Tanjung Tualang. This small town has nothing to interest tourist except the giant shrimps. It was packed with people and even caused a traffic jam in the town, all because of THE – GIANT – SHRIMP! I guess the shrimp is gonna be extinct in just few years.
屁股开花的第三天， 屁股在嘀咕着过了今天,这条老命都不知还保不保得住。。。泣。。。
今天将会探访历史景点。还是沿着昨天的一号公路，来到三叉路口，转入A8路线，这个曾经是个繁忙的车道，现在却是个宁静和适合骑行的“骑”道。一小段路程，来到了位于华都牙也的凯利古堡， 一个集美丽与哀愁，十九世纪末以来尚未完成的巨型老建筑。相传哦，这个城堡是由一位非常有钱的苏格兰人建来要送给他的未婚妻的礼物来喔，然后呢，就发生了一连串的事故。。。唉。。。算了，我也不浪费唇舌啦，想要知道故事如何的凄美，上网找吧。总而言之，凄美的意思就是悲惨加浪漫。。。的故事啦。。。并且故事一定要凄惨，不然就不美丽啦。
城堡之后，继续前行，取道A15公路，大概10公里路程，在左边就看到铁船的入口。丹戎督亚冷5号铁船（TT5）。此铁船的历史可追索至1940. 当时的这些铁船对马来西亚的经济有着非常巨大得贡献。。。哎。。。还是长话短说，如要知道详情，请向我秘书 － 谷歌小姐，查询吧。谢谢。
其实，今天的重头戏是丹戎督亚冷的午餐。这小镇没舍看头，除了出产阿头虾，没什么景观。游客从别的洲属挤满整个小镇都是为了品赏大头虾而来。我看啊，过了几年之后呵，这大头虾也要给人吃到绝种了。。。悲。。。
The Kellie’s Castle. We were there too early and it was not open yet, but the kind staff allowed us to went in for some picture shooting.
凯丽古城，太早抵达，售票处还没运作，不过好心的售票员见到我们风尘仆仆，满脸风霜，两额深陷，一脸失望的表情，怜悯之心油然而生，允许我们先进去拍照。

督亚冷，连入口牌匾都放一只虾做地標。 领队辛劳，当然得孝敬他最大只的。。。（右边照片源自Pei Yi Chew)
