It's now the 3rd day of the trip. Time really flies as especially when you rea really enjoying it. On this day, we make a trip to Perdana Quay, Telaga Harbour which is located in Pantai Kok. This marina provides the berthing facilitites for the yachts. Apart from the yachts, there are also a number of high-end restaurants, bistros, fashion and art stores. The boat/yacht used by Datuk Azhar Mansor is also being exhibited here at the harbour.

Telaga Harbour is a very scenic place with great architectural buildings. However, the place looks a bit deserted. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful place not be missed. Another attraction that awaits the visitor here is Tun Mahathir's Japanese bakery shop called "The Loaf". We took the opportunity to take some photos in front of the shop but didnt actually go in. The place look so pricy for us.

Next to the Telaga Harbour, is the deserted Summer Palace - a film set by 20th Century Fox for the film Anna and the King starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yun Fat. We were quite dissppointed to see the ruined & wrecked buildings. It's a movie history that has been neglected. This place used to be a tourist attractions before but unfortunately it has not been maintained well by the local authorities. We however manage to sneak into the building as the gate was not locked. Wish I was here before the place turned this ugly.
