After our backpacking trip to Philippines in February 2009, we decided to have a gathering in Lumut to catch-up and to view all our photos. At the same time, we took the opportunity to explore the 5km Lumut Kanan River leading to Lumut Yacht Club waterfront area along Jalan Titi Panjang. Many thanks to Ching Neng Bin for providing the two night stay at Desair Apartment in Lumut. As usual evening was the good sea-food for dinner followed by fellowship in the apartment.
