Good morning Pulau Ketam!
Went back to the hotel to wake Hock Beng up for breakfast. Mei Kheng did joined along too, keeping her previous night promise while the rest were still continuing their beauty sleep.
And on our way heading for breakfast, this is what we saw.

It took us 5 minutes of walk before reaching the central region of the Pulau Ketam where you see stretches of shops on both sides.
Fishing, the main industry of Pulau Ketam
We headed back to the hotel after the breakfast. The rest had woke up by now. I did some light packing before we went to rent some bicycles to cycle around Pulau Ketam.
Getting ready for rouding Pulau Ketam
Our first stop was the famous temple of Pulau Ketam. I suppose it was the biggest and the prettiest temple in the village.
Time to be holy=)
We did some praying here before we went up to the highest floor of the temple to have an aerial view of Pulau Ketam. However, the view was disappointing though.
We continued cycling towards the deeper of Jalan Satu and after 5 minutes, we came across a jetty.
Amenities for the local spotted while cycling around
I suppose the Maybank was the only "floating" bank in Malaysia.

What doing us while we were on the bicycle
It was 12.30pm when we called it a day for cycling. We went back to the hotel for washing up and did some packing before continuing the day with a visit to a fishing village where they rear commercial fishes. It costs us RM 15 per person which includes the boat return and a tour guide.
The boat was supposed to pick us up at 2pm, however, there was a delay and by the time it reached us it was near to 2.30pm.
It only takes about 20 minutes and we reached the Green Way Fishing Village.
The place where the commercial fishes were rear
The tour guide was very nice to us as he explained a lot to us including answering lots of queries from me. You know, I'm a very curious person and I seriously did ask him a lot of questions. Thankfully, he was a patience guy and answered each of them slowly and descriptively=)
We were told that some of the fishes took more than a year to breed and rear before finally ready to be exported to the market. No wonder some of the fish prices were sky rocket high. It makes me appreciate fish more after this, that able to consume them were indeed a blessing.
Baby Grouper
Just happened that we bumped into the timing of a fishing net trap that needed to be change. The tour guide told us that careful measures needed to be taken when changing the nets as it could costs thousands bucks of losses if the fish fled away.
Members of GreenWay Fishing Village Visit
We stayed at the fishing village for about 40 minutes before headed to another area of village that consists of water chalets where people can overnight for fishing activities or merely relaxation.
Any potential to be a fisherman?=P
It was after 4pm by the time we reached Pulau Ketam. We went to collect our luggage at the hotel reception before boarding the wrong boat return to Port Klang. What I mean wrong here was, the boat was open air, it moves way slower and it brings us rounding around the Pulau Ketam shore before heading back to Port Klang. The worst part was to encounter with the "shiok sendiri" tour guide auntie that keep singing/shouting with the microphone. Man, can you imgine?
Battle cruiser?
We reached the Port Klang Jetty after near to 90 minutes on the boat. Thank God, the boat did not bring us rounding somewhere else. It felt good to step on the earth again after "floating" for more than 24 hours.
The trip was nonetheless fun even though this is my third time being there. After all, I suppose it's the company that matters the most. I guess it will be a long time before my next visit to Pulau Ketam! See you again somewhere in the future.
