Oct 23, 2009 - Pekan

Pekan is the former capital of Pahang state and has some white marble mosques, stately and treasures to explore for a day or two. This is a mostly muslim town and they look after their mosques well, all of them are spotlessly white and blue and clearly considered important. I lucked out on the Museum which was undergoing renovation but the strangely named Galeri Pengangkutan Air which in fact houses a collection of royal watercraft was open, which I followed up with a walk towards the palace set in enormous grounds and then back into town....
