pangkor island was the destination for our 11th anniversary. abt 4 hours drive from shah alam to lumut, through sabak bernam/k.selangor/teluk intan route. no toll at all except for shapadu toll heading to meru. we didnt tell the kids where we're going to.. it was a surprised for them. when we reached lumut, they were all excited as it was their 1st trip to pangkor. i've been there few times when i was studying in itm manjung 15 years ago. so this trip is part of 'kenangan terindah' with my loved ones.
at lumut jetty, we took mesra ferry with return fare at rm10 per adult and rm5 per child. at pangkor jetty, we took pangkor cab aka pink colour van, cost us rm12 from the jetty to teluk nipah. we checked in at ombak inn chalet for 1 night only. the 4 of us were more like backpackers so the chalet we stayed was just nice and comfort to sleep, a room with air-cond, attached bathroom, astro (it was a centralised, so there was no remote and we had to watch whatever program the reception area watched) and cosy balcony. right after checked in, we went out for lunch at one of the stall along teluk nipah beach. from the beach we could see the nearby pulau giam, where people would go on a speed boat for a swim in crystal clear water or snorkelling. we chose to snorkel and rent the snorkel gears plus the return speed boat at rm50. when we reached there, the shallow part was clean and clear but as we went further, the water was a little murky but we can still see the fish. since it was the kids' 1st time to snorkel, we gave them a quick lesson on the snorkelling gears. it was challenging for them but they are fast learner and we had a great 2-hour snorkelling. after 2 hours in the water, CD the guy with the speed boat came for us. before heading back to teluk nipah beach, he took us for a round trip at pulau giam, where he showed us a rock that has 2 shapes that look like a head of a crocodile and a turtle. it was awesome. after shower, we went strolling along the beach for the sunset. it was beautiful and pleasing to watch the sunset over the sea. i just stand there loving every minute of it. after that emotional feeling of capturing the sunset, we had 2 big delicious ikan bakar for dinner. simply the best!!! and i also bought the satay fish and variety of dried sotong. my favourite!!
the next day, we checked out early around 10am. after breakfast, we hired a cab for a round trip of the island - cost us rm60. the taxi driver took us to a temple, where there is a miniature great wall of china and the dutch fort. after that, we took the afternoon ferry back to mainland. at lumut, strolled at the waterfront for a while before heading back home. well, we didnt exactly go home. the kids wanted to watch 'kung fu panda', so we went to OU. after that, we went straight to nilai, BIL's house, stayed 1 night and the next morning after breakfast, we went to bagan lalang beach at sepang. since it was low tide the time we arrive, hubby and the kids built sand whatever while i relaxing on a mat under the tree...fell asleep... i cant help it.. the fresh sea breeze and nice weather... we had dinner there with more ikan bakar and kerang rebus... seafood everywhere!!!
it was a thrill and fun experience for the kids and for us too. they enjoyed as much as we enjoyed having them on our anniversary getaway. it was a pleasant beach trip with the kids, so i'm planning for another beach trip to another island.. hmmm.. pulau mana ek??!!
