Short Visit to Sematan and Lundu
Took a short drive to the tip of Sarawak, Sematan.
The last time we were here was back in 2017, more than 4 years ago.

The Pan Borneo Highway is still under construction, to be upgraded to a two-lane dual carriageway. Lots of diversions along the way but bearable. |

On our way to Pantai Pugu (Pugu Beach), we decided to take the short cut via the oil palm plantation. Took the wrong turn and lost our way for a while. |
