We managed to join the free shuttle service from the port to the nearest shopping mall, and from there, we will start the journey around the place. As we go down the bus, there were people offering us a city tour at usd100 for a 3-hr tour. As travel agents, we know this is very high. So we decided to walk a little bit far to go away from those people. We found ourselves at the waterfront of the city and seen these picturesque spot.
After the picture taking, my friend is so exhausted to join me around because of the heat. so she decided to stay behind the coffee shop and I decided to explore the city.
I got a cab just outside the coffee shop and haggled a good price to show me around the city in just one hour.
First stop, Atkinson Tower, built in memory of Francis George Atkinson. it was later used a navigational landmark for ships calling port until 1950's.
Second Stop, Signal Hill Observatory. A place on top of the mountain overlooking the entire city and the ocean and islands around. It is good for relaxing because it is so quiet and breezy.
Third stop, the city mosque. The second largest in the city that was opened in 2000.
Last and final stop, SHOPPING! The tour ended on a shopping mall where i bought some souvenir for my friends and some of the collectible items I have for the tours that I had. Nothing much fancy or pricey, but something local, something cute, and something memorable.
