The Getaway

This is how I would sum up my short 3-day-2-night vacation in Port Dickson last weekend. Since "a picture is worth a thousand words", here's my 14 thousand word entry on a recipe of how to wind down and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

What you will need:

1. Fine, white sandy beaches

2. A bright golden sun

3. Sparkling, crystal clear sea water

4. Azure blue skies and fluffy white clouds

5. Lush, refreshing green palm trees

6. Natural wildlife

7. A glorious sunset

8. A warm and cosy bed

9. A steaming hot jacuzzi

10. A magnificent water closet

11. A relaxing ambience and an exquisite decor

12. A dining delicacy

13. A heavenly, mouth-watering chocolate dessert

14. And ofcourse, a high speed internet connection

The result?

  9. im quite sure it was not Avillion reedean, because we were initially supposed to stay there. its about 2-3 km away from Legend.

  10. we stayed at Legend Water Chalets odd. how bout you? staying there for any chance?

    btw, just in case you ARE, the floor has a unique glass panel in place of concrete in some places. like in the BATHROOM.

    sure wouldnt want anybody swimming in the sea during shower time. LOL

  14. imran: thanks for the compliments ali. weirdly enough, yes you can see the sea from the water closet, because its made of glass. im not sure whether you can see the seabed though. i suppose on clear days boleh.
