CNY & Vday Trip To Pangkor 2016 Day 1

It's my first time also hubby's and the boys first time to Pangkor Island... It was a ad hoc decision...We did plan to go somewhere but almost anywhere that we want to go doesn't fit into the budget we have...

It's been awhile since my boys last went to the beach so we thought going to an island would be a great getaway... It was CNY day 2 at our reunion dinner in great grandma's house, hubby talked to his bro about his plan...and bil said why not Pangkor... it's cheap and water is clean... not see thru type but at least way cleaner than the beach in Penang... So yeah that's how we ended up in Pulau Pangkor on day 4 of CNY...

We set off early, about 7am to Mcd for our breakfast then off we go to meet up bil at Taiping RnR...we reached Lumut jetty about 11am+ then took the ferry off to Pangkor Island... the ferry cost RM10 for adult, RM5 for children aged 4-12y, below 4y free of charge... and it's for two way... ^^ cheap hiakhiak...total cost us rm25 (2 adults, 1 children + 1 free toddler). It takes about 30mins to reach the island... The ferry actually stop at 2 stops. First stop is at a jetty near the town area which mainly cater for the locals, and second stop is for tourist because there there's taxi ^^.

Upon reach we hop onto a pink taxi cost rm20 (as we are going at peak season else bil said it usually cost him about rm12 at low peak). The taxi driver is crazy taxi driver...he tailgate, he overtake at sharp corners and he almost knock over a motor...scary ride...but Keith fell asleep inside the taxi.

We dropped our luggage at Seagull Chalet...an inn own by my bil's friend's father... It cost us rm130 per night for a family room with 1 queen bed and 1 single bed... equip with lcd tv, fan, aircond and a toilet with water heater..the water pressure is good... we then head out for our lunch...we just cincai hop into 1 stall and they only serve nasi kukus (steamed rice) with ayam goreng (fried chicken)... comes with curry and chili sauce... per plate cost us rm7...

After our lunch we went back to chalet for a quick rest, while hubby and bil went out to search for motor for rent...they manage to rent it after some time...due to peak season..everyone is snatching it... cost us rm80 for 2 days...(rm40/day).

My scaredy cat Kyle screaming all the way from chalet to town area... It's not his first time taking motor (he did when he's below 3y so i guess he must have forgotten)... while Keith enjoying the ride so much... We went to town area for some walking and side seeing then went Fu ling kong temple to walk walk... The sunglasses is cheap only RM5 for kids and adult, ice cream also cost rm1 only... the magnet souvenir also very cheap which i bought some for my mum.. Bought a cap for Kyle only RM15... In town area i also bought some homemade mee sua and mee teow... RM12 for 4packet of 200gm each...

There also got a mini great wall of china which we didn't climb.. it's mini but it's not that mini... it will take some strength to climb it hahahaha... so we just took some picture from bottom....

On the way in to our chalet there's an inn Hornbill Villa, there will be lotsa burung enggang (hornbill) around at 6.30pm due to feeding time...they said every 6.30pm the birds will automatically comes and wait... it's been going on for many many years... tourist gets to feed the birds with banana... it's fun to have a close range with the birds...

It's almost 7pm, the boys went for a dip in the water at the beach... we choose the beach upper part of teluk nipah... it's clean and sandy... we play until almost 8pm, before we head back chalet to clean ourselves then head back down to the beach area daddy's cafe (just at where we play just now) for western food...

After dinner, balik chalet tidur ^^...
