Exploring Ipoh and a haunted castle

The bus from Kota Bharu arrived on the outskirts of Ipoh at 5am.  This was a drag also.  I had to get a local bus to the city from which I could get a long distance bus to the Cameron Highlands.


But I decided to make the most it while in Ipoh.  I had read about an abandoned castle a little further out of Ipoh, Kellies Castle.  It once belonged to a wealth rubber baron.  Now it's incomplete and derelict due to his untimely death.  There have been rumors that it's haunted.  I didn't see or hear any ghosts.


Back in Ipoh I just missed the 11am bus by a minute.  The next bus was at about 2:30.  In hindsight, I'm glad I missed that bus.  It gave me a chance to explore the city of Ipoh.  There is a lot of grand colonial architecture in the city.
