Crocodile Farm, Telok Sengat

Crocodile Farm is situated at near Telok Sengat town, among the palm trees and beside the Johor River.
The owner, claim the farm is the biggest in Malaysia boasting of more than 1,000 crocodiles in captivity. And the oldest is more than hundred years old. He inherited the farm from his father. Prior to that, his father was a fisherman. A baby croc he caught by accident changed his career and passion for crocs.

Mind you that this is a farm, meaning they are selling the skin as leather, teeth and bones for medicinal and ornaments purposes
and the meat is very expensive at RM80 per kg.

Coastal Road Sedili - Desaru, Johor

We continue our way, after a short break at Jason Bay, Sedili, Johor, we drive towards Kota Tinggi through the coastal road. Very rarely we encounter cars from the opposite direction. I don't think I would want to drive here at night..... very creepy and quiet without any settlements.

And I was a bit worried as my petrol is diminishing fast....

Anyway while at it, we still enjoy the sceneries.... (Taken by my children while I'm driving)

We just enjoy the drive...........
