Due to busy workload and a build up of stress, i needed a trip somewhere and wanted it to be by the beach. Initially, i thought of heading to Bali as it has been a while and would be good to submerge myself with some great food and the beach.Well, unfortunately, that was not possible 🙁 as there were some events which i had to be around for. After brainstorming with the intended travel group, we locked in Port Dickson. Malaysia is just at the doorstep and it has not been explored too much. I was excited as i have never been there and heard from friends that its an amazing place.
After looking at some hotels and resorts, we booked Thistle which was just by the beach and had a huge pool. Yeah, ideally i would love to have a private pool but this was fine.
We reached SG customs around 8am on Saturday (about an hour odd later than expected) and there was a jam build up. It took ~ an hour to clear up and we passed both immigrations.
I stopped by the petrol kiosk to pump petrol before heading off and spotted about 15 Maclaren – which was quite a sight to hold. Perhaps one day i could have the opportunity to drive one. 😉
Doesn’t it look good?? Oh it was an awesome Nasi Lemak which hit the spot well.
About an hour odd after driving, we reached Machap R&R that was an ideal stop. I had a hidden agenda though. It had a real power nasi lemak which i had during the last trip to KL.
After a good breakfast and a coffee, the drive continued for about 2hours before reaching Thistle @ Port Dickson. I didn’t realise that Waze was set to “Avoid Toll Roads” and it took a scenic drive thru the kampung areas.
Finally, we reached Thistle.
