New Discovery Cui Hu Jing At Lawan Kuda, Gopeng

A VERY INTERESTING TRIP THIS AFTERNOON! Just the night before, we "WhatsApp-ed" each other for today's plan and we decided to go to Gopeng... we just planned to have a nice lunch in Lawan Kuda, I have never been there before and where food is concerned, I am ALL for it!

Actually we planned to eat in Peng Yau, a restaurant in Lawan Kuda but it was not opened and when one of my friends mentioned that there is a restaurant near a pond, we went to search around the vicinity for it. We even asked one uncle where it was located and we finally found it right here!

We took a picture of the road just in case next time we forget!

From this road, we could see the restaurant....

But firstly, we need to drive through this narrow road leading to the restaurant....

I dare not look actually.... there is no barrier on both sides of the road...

Any wrong turning, the car would be "swimming" in the pond!

Here is the name of the restaurant.... it is only opened during the evenings around 5pm....

The phone number is 011-26456371

But since we were here, we might as well look around and see what they have to offer...

Fish and prawns being reared here...

What these are... I am not sure....

One can even go "sampan-ing" in the pond.....

This is where the fish are reared...

And the young lad was so kind enough to take us for a "tour" around his pond...

From where I stood.... I dare not go any further...

Cos I am no "swimmer!"

Even though my friend kept saying.. Come, Come... I wanna hold your hand....

Both of them went ahead....

I stayed put where I stood cos there is no barricade on both sides...

See what I mean???

That is the furthest I wanna be!

The planks wobbled as we walked along....

Somehow I managed to balance myself...

*aikksss.. I dare not walk on the planks again!*

Back to firm foundation.....

And this is the place where one can have a romantic dinner....

Because once the sun sets, the scenery will be breathtaking!

But as it was noon when we went, there was no sun set to see as yet...

But we would love to go again when the sun is setting...

Best time will be around 5-6pm.....

On the way out, we got down from the car to take some pictures....

See how narrow the road is????

Safer to walk, right???

Love the scenery here... got moutntain, got water....

I would recommend this place for an evening dinner anytime!

Hope I can still remember how to come in... have to bring my friends with me if I don't!

It was indeed a Fruitful trip this afternoon...

We discovered a new place for our evening dinner and we will surely come here again...

THUMBS UP!!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning. My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port. Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand. We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods. LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd. Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town. All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again. LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal... ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship.... Elevators on each side of the ship.... Making my mark.... On another side.... We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters... At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea.... Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise. So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation. Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room. Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax. How not to resist... LOL... And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea.... Looks small from afar... It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance... Our room for the next three nights.... Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door... The one with balcony cost a bit more... A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
