Pangkor Island (Day #1)
The trip began at Lumut, where we had lunch at a famous fried chicken outlet!

Then, it was off to the jetty to catch the boat! It was a hot day!

Peek-a-boo!

Me family walking towards the newly renovated and nice looking jetty at Lumut
This is a pic of a ferry which is similar to the one we took:-

At the back of the ferry, on top, we could step out into the fresh air and enjoy the nice sea breeze!

Goodblye mainland!

As you can see, it was a wonderful day!

Riding on the top of the ferry in the blazing afternoon sun - brings back memories of the Rejang River ride, altho this was much safer and the sea is much calmer than the mighty Rejang!

All excited and happy!
We finally reached the island!

Upon checking in, it was nap time!

After a nap, the rest went out to play in the pool which I strolled to the beach and got me pics of the sunset:-


After that, it was time for seafood dinner! Yum!

Walking to the restaurant next to the hotel. You can see the hotel at the left background - a big white building. We stayed in a penthouse, which was on the ground floor and 1st floor. This is the way to stay when you travel wif 2 small kids and 2 senior citizens!!! Still, the comfort was a welcomed change from the usual backpackers' dorms for me!
After dinner, we just hung out...

...did some shopping...

...and then went back and chilled in the nice spacious, aircond penthouse!

The kids taking aim at their evil uncle who sneaked upon them from the upstairs balcony!!!
