hot and cold..

I'm sunburnt and down with a flu.

sniff sniff.. susahnya..

it was suppose to be a very relaxing weekend by the sea.. but i'm so so tired now. but that doesnt mean it was a bad weekend. It was really great !

A relaxing day at the seaside, with the sun and sand.. and the waves crashing to the shore .. what more can i ask for. made my very first sandcastle..( yeah, i never did that when i was young!) was walking along the shore, and saw this little girl with her play set.. as she got up and walked to the water, we asked the nice lady sitting there if we can 'pinjam' her toys. then we started building a castle with forts around it and a nice deep moat around it. unfortunately, our castle was build on the grounds, where the sand is completely dry.. so it will take tonnes of water to fill up my deeply dugged moat ! ish !!
shall post up the picture of my accomplishment later.

the next day was a completely different outing..we made our way to Eagle Ranch Resort.. it is located on the far end of Port Dickson. it took us about 30 mins bus ride from Bayu Beach where we were staying.

The moment you step in the resort.. you find yourself greeted by log cabins, bandwagons, bullock carts and many more items from the cowboy era. It was really cool. even the signboards were in typical wooden designs.

Among the accomodation choices one can have at Eagle Ranch are the tepees, kampung house, paddock dormitories, log cabins and bandwagons. There are even huts by the forest meant for people who are keen on camping.

Our tepee was actually a room disguised under a tepee - some sorta like a Red Indian totem. Once you step in, you find the walls finished with planks, oil lamps as bedlights, and the TV rest on a brick stand. A wooden door opens to the toilet which is another unique feature, it is partially open air - meaning you will be showering under the stars and the watchful eyes of the night creatures !

The package we selected came along with activities such as horse riding, canoeing, and archery. It was a fun time doing all these as it is something different from the usual hotel experience. It was my first time at archery, and though it was just 10 arrows.. my hands were tired already. hmm.. not so easy to be Robin Hood after all ! horse riding was ok, as it was a guided 2 rounds at the stable. Canoeing was fun.. but.. it was kinda gross after some time, as it was in the fish pond, and the water was kinda dirty, but we enjoyer chasing the ducks swimming in the pond.

We decided to give Go-Kart a try, it wasnt included in the package, so we paid RM 20 for 5 laps - which i think it's pretty ok. Was a little nervous, as my driving skills are realy doubtful, apatah lagi to drive a go-kart !! but as i went on my 3rd lap.. i just lurve it ! I realised that i like the excitement from the speed and the noise !

All good things has to come to an end.. as we checked out from the resort and left Port Dickson. It was a long way home on the bus and KTM.. but it was all worth it.
Can't wait to receive the pics..

and for now.. 2 panadols and lotsa sleep will be the best medicine.

thought for now : should i suggest Eagle Ranch for department activity? hmm.
