Durian Season

DURIAN FEST... 

Eat all you can for RM5??  We saw a big crowd at one of the stalls near Taman Sutera but no, we did not stop and see what was really going on.  Seriously, why are the durians so cheap here in Johor?  Some are even selling as low as RM1 and RM2, but of course, they are tiny ones.   Seems Aaron is back at the perfect timing this round, he has a durian fan with him all the time... ME!!

Yes, both of us gained weight together, durians are sweet and give heat to the body same time.  Do not overeat, or if really cannot refrain, drink fresh coconut water or eat mangosteens, they are sold at RM5 and RM20 respectively.  I rather opt for the fresh coconut water with fresh flesh.  LOL... We were also told not to take branded durians, no need to name them here... As usual, we opted for those cheap, small but original ones which cost around RM5 each.... 
Durian Party for durian lovers!
Prices vary accordingly.... 
Stalls here and opposite... just choose the seating.... 
And here goes....
For RM5, we were not supposed to 'open n carry' back ... 
But this guy is very nice, he patiently packed up nicely for us... 
On another day at another stall...
Engrossed faces... 
Some of the RM5 goodies we had.... 
Durians Smiles all the way....

    Durian lovers sure happy and eat till their hearts content. Haha. But not for me. Somehow I don't fancy the fruit any more for many years now. Probably ate too much of it when I were young girl that I fall out of love with the fruit. Lol. Can do with or without it.

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....
