Port Dickson Trip 3 (Ostrich Farm or Cow Farm??)

We continued our journey to the Ostrich Farm from the Lover's Bridge and Dead Island.
Captured some pictures along the way to Ostrich Farm.
We asked one of the locals (our friend's friend) for the way to the Ostrich Farm. She told us that there is a shortcut to the farm just behind her house. She asked us to drive straight along the muddy road and turn left at the first junction.

We were so stupid and we just followed her directions even though our instincts told us that this is wrong wrong wrong. The muddy road was so narrow and there were rattan trees at both sides. We can hear the scratching sound of our car by the rattan tree.
We tried not to give up after a long drive through the rattan trees. We continued our journey to the ostrich farm and guess what we saw. A COW FARM!!! zZzZ .. No sign of Ostrich...
We had no choice but return to the main road. Once again, we had to drive through the rattan trees.. Scratching sounds again.. OMG.. Finally, we reached th Ostrich Farm after 2 minutes drive from the main road! We were so mad with ourselves because we chose a difficult way to reach here...
We were so happy that we reached Port Dickson Ostrich Farm. However, we did not go into the farm because the entrance fee was unreasonably expensive. RM8 just to go in and see some ostrich? I would better go to the Taiping Zoo where I can see lots of animals with just the same price.
We stood in front of the entrance for quite some time as we were busy discussing our next stop.

Some of us suggested to visit the Lighthouse Tower at Tanjung Tuan but our local friend said that it was very far from here. Therefore, we decided to treat ourselves some drinks and rest..

While we were on the way to find some shops to drop by and had some drinks, we saw a mini market! We drifted our car and ran there to buy some buns and drinks..

We bought some snacks, buns and drinks and decided to have a small picnic at Teluk Kemang Beach.

*Port Dickson is indeed a very small town where you barely find any shops to order some drinks...
