When we about less than half an hour to our destination, we passed by a very unique island with two giant Wind Turbines on the top of the hill. The small pathway leading to them looks very interesting too.

I wish I got time to explore that pathway…

The boatman explained to us that the turbines are the main power source for the islands. 

The electricity on the island starts at noon till midnight. I am impressed that malaysian government have started a move towards greener energy. I really hope that this clean wind power will be extended further in other places.

Yes, I can see the shade of our island, finally!

(To be continued…)

   wow, you can zoom that close from the water, thats great. the pathway looks so interesting, i don’t think i’ve ever been to a pathway like that that climbs to the peak of the island. I would love to try it too, the pathway must be very pretty up close.

   It looks like an interesting climb up the pathway. From the shot, the island looks like a model of the actual place.

   betchai: Not to mentioned that I was on the speed boat, that’w why the close up look a little bit not focus. I believe the view from top of that hill is beautiful.

   BK: They do look like a model, plus the cute yellow boat down there near the jetty

   I love that pathway up to the wind turbines. I’d love to explore that. Wind turbines are one of the best ideas ever. There are huge fields of them here in our midwest.

   tanchi: Hey hey, how are you friend?

   alexa: I think so, if you running up the stairs

   ann: I wish you were there to experience it

   Cashmere: Welcome back girl you need to take water taxi to go there. Morning before noon time is the best.

   Ratty: Agree with you that it is one of the best idea human has invented. Hope you got time to take picture and post them one day in your blog!
