16 Feb - 17 Feb 2008 :: Port Dickson, Malaysia

Hello everyone, we're just back from Port Dickson (or more known as PD)! Drove up in my trusty (at least for this trip) Ren MegHB with Meow Meow as the navigator (Woo Hoo... Meow Meow can read map!!)

Along the way
PD isn't exactly that far, just about 300km one way... Hehee... Cross 2nd link straight up the NS-Highway, quite straightforward la... So tempting to go faster than the 110kmh speed limit (Heh, is that a minimum speed or maximum speed??? Hahaha...)

Avilion Water Chalet
The resort room is built on stilts jutting out into the sea!! It's like several 'fingers' stretching out from the coast into the Straits of Melaka... Quite cool... Hehhee... At night can hear the wave sound also... Not fantastically a lot of activities to be had at the resort, but the Cochin pool is quite nice.. Quiet and warm water!! And it's Adults-Only!! Heh heh.... That only means no children la... Hehe...

Gym... Power failure, so end up working out in a "naturally ventilated" gym... Meaning to say, open all windows and hope the wind blows in... It has got quite a nice view actually, situated right at the end of the pier looking out into the sea...

We explored the sauna and steam room too... Hahaha... The men and ladies are separate sections... So we ended up shouting to each other over the partition.... Hehhee... Just in case any of us faint in the heat...

Food! Food! Food!
Wherever we stop, it's all about shopping and food... Hahaa... So fun hor... Eat Walk Eat Walk... =)
PD has some very nice nasi lemak... supposedly with salted fish... Hmm.... Meow meow tasted that, but I can't seem to find any shred of that... Hahaa... The rice is very fragrant.... Yum yum....

There's a pasar malam just about 15min walk from our resort, so we ventured there to find food... Hehee.. Meow meow actually wanted to find the chinese zhi tzar.... but but.... cannot find... But anyway, the place is full of food!! So no worries.... Dear, dun be disappointed hor...

Lunch Stop - Melaka
On our way back, we stop by Melaka... Just hit general direction without a map in tow... Hahaha.. Very daring hor? I think I prob drove the wrong way at some point in time, cos' the main road disappear and we ended driving thru some plantation area... Eeeks... Luckily my direction sense still not bad, can find our way back onto the Fed highway.... Phew...

We just have the chance to eat the famous chicken rice balls and gula melaka chendol, walk along Jln Tun Tan Cheng Lock and we headed back to the NS Highway... 5+pm oredi and another 2+ hrs to go.. Hehee... With daylight can see the signs better... just in case I drive wrong way and head up to KL... :p

Overall
It's a fun weekend driveaway!! Thanks to meow meow for finding the place and making the bookings... Nice resort, nice drive, nice company... Great for a short break... Hehee...

Trip Recommendation - Highly recommended!!
