Road trips

[Siewss]

so far we have decided to go to penang --> lumut --> kl

 

any other places in the western stretch of malaysia.... i should not miss?

 

anyway objective is to relax, eat, explore and have fun.... not into shopping, cutural and heritage stuff and all......

 

I recommend Langkawi - You'll need to leave your car on mainland though.

 

4D3N should be enough for you to enjoy the key attractions.

Western coast???

 

Malacca, Port Dickson, Lumut, Penang. @ days at each and 1 day to get back. 9 days already.....

 

Anyway, longest I've left my car "unobserved" was at the Mersing car park. Got back 4 days later from Tioman to find a whole host of issues. Speaker at one side not working, ABS lights intermittent (ABS module died), car almost couldn't start, wierd rpms at idling and driving. Wonder if it was stuck by lightning.

Many evil forces r roaming around Tg Leman jetty.

I've been to Lake Kenyir twice.

 

Both times were very pleasant experiences, especially the 2nd time after the refurbishment efforts a few years back. The rooms are not luxuriously appointed, but definitely cosy and clean. The bathroom is as big as the sleeping area, and the kids enjoyed the disney channel at night when there's nothing much else to do.

 

Make sure you request for a unit that faces the lake - it's really nice to wake up to the sound of birds and monkeys early in the morning, and drink a nice hot cuppa at the balcony. Bring along mosquito repellent if you like to remain unmolested when you walk around the resort.

 

Activities:

1) Deer feeding

2) Paddleboat / Kayaking

3) Island hopping

4) Table tennis/Dart

 

You probably want to settle all your meals in the one and only restaurant, unless you are keen to drive out 25~30km to a nearby town for coffeeshop zi char. The buffet spread is fine, but it does get a bit tiresome after a while.

 

3D2N should be more than adequate, unless you really like to vegetate.

Ok thanks for your useful information.

 

Which resort did u stay at & r there many others there or only that 1?

 

I hear there is a house-boat that wil travel into the lake & we wil wake up at a different location every morning. Do u have any info on this, like is the boat comfortable with all modern conveniences & the cost of the resorts & boat there.

Hi Siewss,

 

I am planning for my Lake Kenyir trip in early June. Was thinking if 3D2N is sufficient till your post comes abt. Just to find out what time did you reach Lake Kenyir and the time that you left. Also as per Pisces qn, which hotel did you stay in?

 

(Am planning to stop at Hyatt Kuantan for one night and leaving the next morning abt 10 to reach Lake Kenyir abt 3pm. After 2 nights, will leave for Cameron 10am).

 

Blessed day!
