Avillion Port Dickson

The day has finally come... out long awaited drive up trip to Port Dickson @ Avillion with 11 adults, 6 kids & 4 cars!! Our group consist of .....

Dan, Fiona, Janek, Anneka & Dan's mum

Nimrod, Joanne, Natanya, Nadine & Nadya

Brian & Lai Kuan

Linda & Julie (she was not feeling well so no pic of her)

Jac, me & Ezra

We arranged to meet along Tuas West Drive before hitting the customs. Thank God the crowd wasn't too bad & we were over in Malaysia fairly quickly. With kids in every car, we decided to convey together, travel @ 110km/h and do 1 rest stop. The journey should take us abt 4 hrs excluding lunch break.

We took a lunch break at Ayer Keroh where we had A&W. The meal was quite a disappointment.
Nimrod, our convey leader took us for a spin by almost all the way to the fringe of KL!! The true spirit of convey, we followed his car despite the GPS telling us "Make a U-turn, you are 200km/ 300km .... away from your destination!"

Anyway, we finally found our way to Avillion aft consultation with Chris Tan, a church friend who was from there. Thank you Chris & bless you. By the time we checked into our room, its already 5pm!! We had the water chalet where its built on silts over the waters. The room is beautiful with a King-sized postal bed, a queen sized day bed by the windows, balcony opening to the sea & an open roof standing shower. The surrounding has lots of greens & beautiful swimming pool.

Our Water Chalet

After the long drive, we decided to jalan jalan to the nite mkt & look see & dine at one of the small malay shop. The whole dinner with fish, chicken, beef, tofu, veg & drinks only cost us RM110!!

The walk from hotel to nite mkt

We retired early on 1st nite so that we can be recharged for the next day activities!!

DAY 2
We started the day early with bkf provided by the hotel, nice spread with ok food. After that, its time to hit the pool!! The kids had a wild time there, swimming, dipping in water, having water gun fight... even the adults were engaged in the water war!!
With the heavy bkf & snacks, lunch was skipped!! The kids were made to sleep in the afternoon cos we adults also needed that rest!! hahaha.... We drove out to a seafood rest for 2nd dinner but I believed we were chopped!! This meal cost us RM500!! After dinner, we gathered in my room for SNACKS, wine & cheese!! The kids were watching DVDs while the adults played Taboo!! It was a very enjoyable night!!Ezra refused to sleep aft everyone left abt 10.30pm. He even poo at 12am!! Think he had too much snacks!!

DAY 3
After bkf, we headed to the beach for actvities. We wanted to rent the water bike but the tide was too low.... so the kids had a blasting time playing sand. There was a particular time where Nadine & Ezra started snatching over toys.... but the 2 mummies were busy snapping away instead of breaking the fight!! Bad mummies!!While the children were paying sand, the daddies played Frisbee. Thanks to the mummies, all the poses were captured!!In the afternoon, we started fishing & laying our crab trap right from our balcony, so convenient. We did not bring any baits but smuggled some hotdog from bkf!! For the records, we did not catch any fish on the rod, no crabs in the trap but caught a puffer fish in the trap. We were checking out the fish in the trap when suddenly it turned over & puff up!! Ezra got quite a fright seeing the ballooned fish!!My elder sis, Linda was so kind, she treated Joanne & me to a scrap & massage at the spa. The place was beautiful & it was so relaxing!! Thanks sis...

Good times past so FAST... very soon, its time for us to say bye bye to this place & return home on Sat. We will miss this place & the fun we had!! Well, like the saying "Pictures speak a thousand words" here are the pictures that speaks much of our trip!!
