Our Road Trip Up North, Pearl Of The Orient

OUR ROADTRIP CONTINUES....

This time we moved up North and the three of us were pretty excited about it.  Both of them had not been visited Pearl of the Orient for a number of years already.  For this trip, we would be staying four days, three nights at two different hotels due to some special reason.  Started our journey early in the morning so that we would reached in time to have our brunch....

While driving, I didn't notice the dark clouds looming above
But it is pretty obvious now as I post this.... 
Thank God it did not rain though it looked alarming... 
Managed to find the Best Koay Teow Thng here at Cecil Street Market Hawker Center...

Yearning for a hot piping bowl of Koay Teow Th'ng with duck meat...
Should have ordered without the "clots" though.. 
They look kind of "gross" here..
After separating them and leaving them aside on a different bowl,
the rest was history... *patting stomach*
Next stop... Penang Road Kek Seng for the Laksa...
My sisters said it was not sourish enough... 
But the Sweet Delights of their Homemade Durian Ice Cream Ice Kacang 
was pretty well received with lots of hmmmmssss..
Durian Ice Kacang served on a plate.... 
Time for relaxation after a full stomach.... 
Royal Hotel along Jalan Larut... 
From our 9th floor, these scenes greeted us... 
Red Roofs is the KFC in bungalow style... 
And some footprints to show we are Here!
LOL...

    The ice-cream is beautiful! And your hotel room is very pretty and clean looking. Those clouds ARE kind of scary, very low. Your view is spectacular!

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....
