Fraser Hill Weekend Trip. A quick one...

-
Stop over at Sungai Selangor dam.
We succeeded in booking the Rumah Peranginan Perseketuan months earlier using the new system. It was quite troublesome, as my wife needed to make the payment at Putrajaya as opposed to using the old online payment system. Anyway, the bungalow is really big, coming with all the necessities. Let me share our short retreat away from the bustling city on November 27-29. It was a short 2-hour drive, but really challenging when we went uphill. The small and winding road made my drive difficult.



The bungalow
It was foggy in the evening

We got up late on the Saturday morning and had our own breakfast in the room. It was sunny that day and I didn't plan earlier for any activities or whatsoever, so I just did my Google search looking for attractions and things that we can do. We bump into the tourist information center that was about 2.5 km from our stay. A small town with several public amenities and a nearby hotel makes this town alive.

The police station was built in 1919.

On the left is Selangor, and Pahang on the right

Nice and peaceful town

Our horse riding activities at the Paddock and several water activities at the Allan's.


Not so many horses in the stable.



It was 15-minute water bicycle ride
The water ball

Later in the afternoon, we planned to have a picnic at Jeriau Waterfall; however, due to the rainy season, all the waterfalls and trails were closed for public safety. There is actually plenty of jungle trails suit to every level of difficulties, where you can get the information at the tourist center.


The mini golf activities

That's all folks for now. Wait for our next trip in a couple of days...

Indian Ocean Escapade. Day 1: Kuala Lumpur - Malé, Maldives

-
Image
Our trip to Malé, Maldives, was a mix of excitement and relaxation. From smooth flights to scenic speedboat rides, we had a wonderful time exploring Maafushi Island. This journey gave us peaceful sunsets, tasty meals, and the chance to soak up the beauty of this tropical paradise.  We started our journey early in the morning at Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 am with Batik Air, flight number OD 293. The check-in process was smooth, and we were ready for the adventure ahead. The flight took 4 hours and 25 minutes, crossing over the stunning Indian Ocean. We landed at Velana International Airport (MLE), Male, around 1 pm local time. The view from the plane as we approached Male was breathtaking—clear blue waters and tiny islands dotting the ocean. After landing in Male, we headed to counter 13 for the Kaani Speed Boat service. It’s an efficient way to get from Male to nearby islands like Maafushi. We boarded at around 2 pm for ...

China Ancient Trip, Day 1-2: Hong Kong

I was here, HK airport! We went for a holiday to China between October 18 and 28, 2013.  Our holiday often will visit at most 3 cities where we will be staying at least two nights in each place.  Historic sites, museums, landmarks, and so on are places that not only do we visit, but we will explore the best possible, given that we have the opportunity to be there. As has been said, tourists take pictures; the travelers keep the memories. :P oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo We landed at Chek Lap Kok airport in the late Friday evening. Flight MH432 to Hong Kong took nearly 4 hours, and it has the same time zone as Malaysia. No jet lag or anything, but we still feel the fatigue of travel. Anyhow, a brisk immigration procedure at the HK airport made things easier. We had booked in advance a round-trip Vigor's shuttle bus that cost HKD $103 for 3 persons. The ride crossed Lantau Island and Kowloon before reaching Hong Kong Island. It was raining heavily at KLIA; I ha...
