Shauna is turning 4! We decided to make use of our buffet club free hotel stay to bring the kids for a 4D3N trip to Penang on her bd weekend. We managed to get zero dollar air tics, just have to pay taxes! Yippee!
Penang is not that great a place for kids, but we are glad the 2 of them enjoyed it very much. Jarel just recovered from his scary episode of high fever and bronchitis. We nearly had to cancel our trip. But glad he got better in time, and the fresh air at the beach resort seems to have whet his appetite back again. (A relief to me! for 2 weeks he was sick he didnt want to eat at all, gone all skinny!!)
We planned to just go to the Tropical Fruit Farm and the famous Penang Hill , we thought these 2 attractions will appeal to the kids. but ended up Shauna felt quesy in the rented car when we travelled up the windy road to the Fruit Farm, and she was whining and complaining the whole time in the cable car up Penang Hill , complaining so squeezy and her legs are tired. Jarel, on the other hand, was easy going... and had his naps on-the-go, so he was not so cranky.
The hotel had a private beach, we went down to the beach one late afternoon and were amazed how big the sea shells were over there. We started picking up the nice ones to bring home. Daddy busied himself with his crab. (click this link for Daddy's crab story..)
We spent a morning at the pool too. Jarel quickly learnt how to balance himself walking in the pool, esp after falling in and drinking water 3 times! Shauna wasnt keen on using her new goggles.. Haiya..
Flight back was on a Firefly plane.. a very small plane with propellers at both sides. It was a better experience than the Air Asia flight. Nice friendly stewardess.. free check in luggage space.. and serve refreshments on board. Not bad a deal considering its a budget flight.
Jarel was very upset when we returned the car.. and the car seat. He really thought the car seat was HIS! He said his byes to the car seat with such emotions and sadness.. i just want to hug him.
Penang is a great place for hawker or street food but with the kids, we were not able to explore the food paradise there. The first night we went to the gurney food street and was so happy to get a table there. Shauna stood by our table refused to sit down. "Shauna why?" "This place so dirty!" Aiyo we have a haughty princess here!
But overall the children enjoyed the break. Mummy and Daddy enjoyed the break too, even tho we did really get much sleep, with all 4 of us squashing onto a king sized bed. Amazing thing is, the kids slept very well. Well, i guess having a holiday is tiring for them bah..
