On our full day at Pa Ukat, we were taken to see the salt mines at Pa Umor. It was not easy to get there as the rains had damaged the road and no vehicles could use the unpaved road. The pot holes were as big as a car! We had to walk the half hour trek up and down the hill. I had been there previously by car and another time by walking. So this was my second trek up to the salt mines.
Along the way we took a lot of photos.
At the end of the day, Mary the driver went off and we visited the Kallang's farm. As there was no road to the farm, we walked up the cement road and then 20 minutes to the farm.
On our return we met the buffalo pulling his load from the padi fields up the jungle trek and then the farm's grassy road. It only had a short distance to walk on the cement path to the village of Pa Ukat.
(Visit to Elizabeth and Kalang Akup 10th March to 13th March 2020, just before the Controlled Movement Order 2020. We were lucky to have been to Pa Ukat. May God bless every one in Pa Ukat)
What a patient farmer and his beast of burden.
The Kallangs do not own a 4x4.
