    There is an itinerary. But it is not true.
    90 % of the schedule was changed.
    Change , Cancel, Long time waiting, , .
    Especially, we would like to get photos of boats departures and coming back. I told him so that at first. But because of his reason , he did not go to morning departures of fishermen boats. And afternoon coming back of boats were already finished, although we went there before the scheduled time without batik factory visit.
    His car was neither comfortable nor clean.
    Totally he seemed to save fuel.
    Finally he asked us we have more two hours . Where do you want to go?
    We have no clue because we don’t know so much about Kota Bharu. Besides that all places he did not guide were already closed. Then we went back to the hotel before the scheduled time.
