Halfway to Pengkalan Hulu, we stopped by a place to answer nature call, if I am not mistaken, it is in Lenggong. I woke up when the bus stopped and saw this beautiful lake....

if I were to drive, surely I wouldn't know about this place..
After 10 minutes, we proceeded on with the journey...

Hot Spring Chalet, Pengkalan Hulu....

just like what I googled a few days earlier...

and then REALISATION HIT ME!
I have came here before
la!
I think it was ten years ago, gosh...
how could I be so blur...
that time I was working with another department,
and the chalets were very "run-down" those days..

this supposedly water looked so turn-off during the day
no one dipped in their feet...
but during the night, we could see the smoke/steam
coming out of this yellowish water...
so... I just closed my eyes and dipped my feet in...
nice and hot...
(they are hot spring water with sulpur)

this chalet can house five of us...
2 rooms and one spare bed outside..
but I didn't opt for the bed in the living room
(coward ma!)
