We drove into the dark hole that appeared too narrow for the boat.
Beneath the wharf, a completely different atmosphere prevailed. The world seemed helmed in and the waves lapping against the pillars echoed eerily through the cavern. The boat bumped and scrapped against their sides.
The mad captain pulled against the upper beams to urge his boat forward.
With a groan, it propelled itself towards the light and sea.
And we slid out into the open sea again. This is the hole through which we exited. Even this wall facing the sea was not free from graffiti.
By now, it had started to drizzle so we headed for the railway bridge spanning Sungei Auf for shelter.
We turned our boat towards the bridge.
At this stage, the rain was still not heavy so we thought we could stay under the bridge temporarily to wait it out. Noticed that there were a number of guys fishing on the bridge.
But it suddenly rained in earnest and the bridge offered scant protection. The sky just opened up and dumped the rain down on us. We decided to make a rush for the Perlama restaurant to take shelter there. The fishing kakis cheered us on while they celebrated the rain's arrival. For them, the fun's just begun.
We were beginning to get wet. I covered my camera as best as I can but still continued to take shots under the cover of my hat. Next: It rained cats and dogs...
