After checking in and returning the
car at Api-api Center, it’s time for our walk around KK. Mother Nature was not
on our side so we’re in rush to find shelter. Thank God it didn’t rain all the
way through the afternoon.
Waterfront
Esplanade.
This boardwalk is said to have the
best view for sunset. But when we went there, it was raining heavily. Our main
reason going there was to visit the Hard Rock Shop. The shop was hidden from
the main road by the big residence in construction next to it. There are also
food center there but unfortunately the shop I was looking for the cheese
banana fritters was closed so we didn’t stop.
A daily night market were local
catch is sold. Fresh seafood is the main attraction where u can order up and
get them cooked on the spot to savour.
Merlin
Statue.
Located in front of Hyatt Hotel, this
giant statue was officiated when KK was inaugurated as a city on 2nd
of February, 2000. To get to here, we walked all the way from the Esplanade,
passing Filipino market, Central Market and the Wet Market. That was about a 1.5km
walk.
Another 1km walk up north is the
Ferry Terminal to go to the island hopping. We walked up to estimate how far
will it take to walk from the ferry to our lodge before our island trip the
next day.
Well, we originally planned to buy
all of our souvenirs here but the night market was pretty disappointing. Nothing
much to be seen as all that’s being sold is clothing. More like the normal
night market in the Peninsular. So we had to ditch to have our dinner here.
Handicraft
Market.
Well, we walked back to the handicraft
market since we couldn’t find anything worth to buy at the night market. There are
a lot of reviews saying that buying souvenirs here are quite expensive but we’re
out of options and since we’re not buying a lot, I thought I’d be ok.
Here, I bought the I love KK shirt
for RM33, salt water pearl bracelet for RM35 and few brooches (1 dozen for
RM48).
