Of old trees and old houses...

Friday after lunch activity with Lil Rainbow....we went for a short drive. Stopped by the Wisma Negeri cos she wanted to see the 'fallen balloon'. The Golden Jubilee Celebration is still on, so there's supposed to be a festive mood around still.

When we got there, we took a walk around the field opposite of the Wisma. Noticed this nice looking tree with two kampung houses as the backdrop. The day wasn't too hot..in fact the clouds were gathering. Quite a nice afternoon out for a walk~This is one of the houses. It is over 100 years old. It's a really beautiful kampung house, with all the intricate carvings. They moved the whole house from its original site and planted it here as a tourist attraction. The doors were padlocked when we got there. So, we just walked around it.
This is the sign outside the house. Known as Rumah Tok Su, it was moved from Bandar Baharu, about 200km away from Alor Star. It's a house with a history. If only the walls and trees could talk, I bet they could teach us more than a thing or two .....The rickety bridge over a small longkang leading to the houses. The bridge is falling apart and I think the termites probably have something to do with it. But all in all it's quite a picturesque scenery! Twas a nice short outing with Lil Rainbow!
Anyway, if you are interested to see this for yourself...this is where you can find it.
