Teluk Iskandar Inn

These photos taken at various times showing some of the the facilities available at the inn and the scenic views.

Mango season at the Inn

The inn is home to two large and beautiful mango trees. They are estimated to be about 80-100 years old and provide a bounty of fruit every year. Looking at them, they are the sort of tree, Totoro might want to play the flute in at night.

Ibrahim and Kamariah kept the trees when they were constructing the inn, and had to painstakingly monitor the contractors,  to ensure that they didn't damage the trees on the land.

Every day brings a bag or two of mangoes to the inn, which Kamariah transforms through culinary magic into mango chutney,  sambal, jams and mango fruit tart !

Hornbill sighting

It has been a week of Hornbills. They have come to visit Teluk Iskandar Inn in pairs and even larger groups all week. They can be recognized by their distinctive calls and are lovely to see.

This pair was spotted on the wood shed, about 50m away from the inn.

Grainy pictures taken with a 3X zoom camera. Had to resort to digital zoom.
