BOO! I'm back from Port Dickson! Actually 2 days ago.
I'm quite surprised no one knew where Port Dickson was.
They think it's some place in Europe or some arty farty island but in reality it's in Malaysia.
MALAYSIA.
Those who know me would understand how much I..err...'adore' the country.
Okay this is a public blog so I better not be trashing around, but basically I just don't like the fact our immediate neighbouring city, Johor Bahru, is dubbed the City of Crime.
And yeah and some other random stuff about the country. But nevertheless, LOTS OF SCENIC VIEWS. Very beautiful, nature wise.
Port Dickson is this...well...small town off the coast of Malaysia. It's well known for its resorts and beaches and lucky us, my mum won a 3d2n trip to stay in one of its 5 star beach resorts.....
Thistle Resort!
Really beautiful resort, as seen from the pictures. (Bigger pictures now compared to previous posts :D)
A far cry from the town surrounding it. The town's really sparse I must say, in terms of facilities and all. Theres practically no shopping malls and it's supermarket is like approx 20 km away from where I'm staying.
Other than that, the resort's clean and the beach is just a stone's throw away. (Literally, I tried)
Well, it's mostly relaxing over here, nothing much to talk about so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
Visited this Animal Farm somewhere near the resort. Selling point was Ostriches but it has loads of other farm animals. Kind of like a petting zoo. ALL THE ANIMALS WERE FREE ROAMING! Except the reptiles of course.
The animals were wayyyyyyy too cute but if i'm an animal activist I would have set all the animals free. The conditions there were living in was horrendous. They're probably dying from infections.
This is a great place for chalets, but please bring like a week's worth of food cos you're gonna take a lot of convincing to even get out and try the food they have.
We also visited the Marina and Leisure Club, sort of like a parking area for yachts. Its a really nice Cove that has only one entrance and exit to the sea!
I really like this pic
Other random photos
Part of swimming pool at night
Buffet for one night!
The Bazaar, nothing much really
In fact, business is so bad the shopkeepers have time to play sepak takraw in the middle of their shops lol.
Doesn't every new proud owner of a DSLR take this shot? LOL...wait..they don't?
The Causeway in the morning
Sushi on boats!
Overall I really enjoyed the trip, bonded closer to my family I guess.
