Last weekend - Port Dickson
Bummed in PD last weekend. My oh my we almost couldn't believe our senses when we caught a glimpse of the "new" public beach (the one facing Petronas ard 4th Mile Jalan Pantai). Clear blue sky, greenish (!!) sea and amazingly a glistening white sandy beach!
Kinda surreal, since PD as we know it has a deserved reputation of "dirty water dirty beach". So... quite a surprise. The local government has finally decided to do something bout this place.
People: Lorraine, Joe, SiowPing, Samuel, Di, HauWei, LiKai, SiewWeng, Joanne, Chris
Location: AnCasa Resort AllSuites, Jln Pantai
Activities: Sleep, watch tv, bummm, rayau-rayau look for snacks, bummmm sommore hahh
All in all, a very lazy break with the buddies. Time constraints meant we couldn't go far hence ended up in PD. Took a 3 bedroom apartment for RM388nett.
3 bedroom apartments at AnCasa comes with:
~ 2 queen 2 single beds
~ 3 bathrooms
~ an (empty) kitchen with fridge (funnily there were signs banning cooking, plus they supplied coffee/tea and cups/saucers but NO spoons/stirrers)
~ living area plus dining table
~ enough chairs
~ balconies (can bummm there, watch sunset or sit there pok-pek)
~ airconditioners in the rooms
They don't have a private beach of their own. But a side door next to the pool leads to the public beach.
PRO: Stalls along the public beach provide ample supply of mamak food/drinks. We dropped by for some burgers & kelapa (fresh coconuts)
Walk walk walk along the beach..
Me with some of closest kaki-kaki (buddies) -- this time quite literally.
Some obligatory sunset photos::
this's the view from our balcony
a new addition to my "sunset in Malaysia" collection
At night.. gluttons we are. After polishing off a heavy chinese seafood dinner (cheap cheap!) we ended up back at the pasar malam ard 4th Mile Jalan Pantai (next to Petronas). Bought more food and headed across the road to eat SOMMORE at the beach. From dinner to supper. No break in between =)
The "new" PD beach is trash-free at the moment. SiowPing and me ran along the shore for awhile in the dark -- no trash, no cut glass etc. Come back in 6 months, I'm sure the beach'll be back to its normal status le.
Some random pics::
We had to leave early the next day. S.Ping had a flight to catch in mid-afternoon..

AnCasa professes to have a "Balinese" theme in its decor. Overall, I'd say this place's quite a decent place to stay - clean, sufficient space, (fairly large) rooms, ample parking.

Background shows one (of many) apartment blocks of AnCasa, foreground are the mamak stalls. Perfect for someone like me "yamcha anywhere/anytime" :P

A "norm" on our trips -- Sam can always be found in front of his beloved tv

The usual..settling of sums
Another usual..getting ready for our annual photo (oops I've got no copy of that)
So that was it.. end of a trip which I believe is first/last time where we're all back in KL.
