Port Dickson - Part 1 or 3

I had the idea of spending a night in Port Dickson since that's on the way back home from Melaka. We tried out D'Wharf hotel - for a change since our maid wasn't around and we didn't need to have a separate room for her.  I thought there would only be one big bed.  But was pleasantly surprised to find one bed in the 'living room', and another in the normal bedroom.  Perfect for the 4 of us.

The usual dining/living room areas was converted like this... sofa, coffee table, TV, partition, bed and then the window facing out. 

We will snack, watch TV then hop into bed for a rest



First up was the swimming pools (there were 3 pools).  I didn't want to go in after having gone into the water park back in Melaka that same morning.

Ahh. Relaxing


The good thing about a hotel arrangement was the included breakfast.  There was plenty of variety so we enjoyed it.

Eat eat eat


Surprisingly, the kids didn't want to go to the pool again.  Guess they were spoilt after the nice water park in Melaka.  Like SE said, there's nothing in the pool.  Haha.  They preferred to do this:

Lalalala la poke poke poke


Luckily I only booked one night at this hotel!  I had mistakenly thought it had beach access. 

So we swung by our usual PD place at Glory beach.  Haha... the kids love this rundown place for the animals, swimming pool and the little beach.  Had to drag them away after some time messing about with the sand.


Sand! Yeah!

Our last "holiday" destination, the king bun shop.  Drove past and couldn't help noticing the huge buns.

We are going to eat one giant bun!


The same problem... how as SE going to eat spicy food?  Somehow managed it after I scraping off the sauce for her, and she liked the bun.  And drank lots of water (again).

Verdict: We like!

I found it so-so only. Had better bun before and the curry was salty and not fragrant.  We took the leftovers home and the taste improved slightly the next day.  Still not something I'd purposely go for, but it was okay for its price of RM34.

All right... end of holiday.  And I had to face the tasks of cooking, cleaning, laundry etc for the next two weeks.

  1. What a pleasant surprise for you at the D'wharf Hotel with such a spacious room! Fun time at the beach for the girls. Happy multi-tasking. Before you know, your maid will be back with you to take over all the work.

  2. with so many beds, did SE and JE sleep on one bed each so they slept separately from you and spouse? staying at the beach is more fun for the children. curry bun must be very big.

    1. Ended up one kid to one adult. They helicopter all over when sleeping so it's hard for them to sleep together.
