Hanging out with the Boys at Batu Ferringi

 


A Bistro by the sea at Batu Ferringi as the sun was setting. Hanging out with two Australians and a Dutch man with his son. Ben Rongen, Rob House, Hans and his son Luka, not sure if the spelling is right. Rob is visiting Ben from Bali his last location and he is a surfer who travels around with two surfboards, his favorite hobby. Hans runs the Boutique Chalet on Pulau Kapas located on the East Coast off the Marang district area. Hans is taking his son who is visiting him from Holland on his school break for a good time in Penang.

 

You get some beautiful sunsets here although not quite today. I used to visit this beach in my younger days with my girl friend back then. There was no seaside cafe or bars back then and the beach was relative empty not these days as it has become one of t6he tourist hot spots.


Hans I find is a very energetic business man who has lived in Malaysia for the past fifteen years and ending up running his own hotel on one off the most visited islands in the East Coast in the South China Sea. He exudes an air of confidence and has an almost childlike demeanor about him.


Ben my brother is always there to keep the party alive with his charm and wits. 


Rob is another surfboard wanderer on the look out for the next best place to surf which presently he found in and around Bali in Indonesia. Rob has a long piece of metal rod running down his leg from his hip area and walks with a limp, he has problem bending his leg but he surfs!


Suck in the belly time with Ben with overly decorated Bar behind us. What els can you want when you have good friends and enough time to spend with even if it is just for the moment.


Nothing like coloring up the place with rainbow to cheer it up, good food and pleasant ambience.
