Piknik di Port Dickson

PD.. here we come!!

It was not planned for. Thanks to all the tension revolved around us these few days. Out of the blue Tebby suggested for a picnic. So, picnic it was then. Kalau pegi dekat-dekat sangat, takde feel lah kan. Given pantai or sungai, Kakak pilih pantai. No pantai in KL except two that I know of, one being the place where I work (Pantai Baharu) and the other one is where I often have my lunch date (Pantai Dalam). Those, are far cry from sandy, watery beach. Yang ada cuma kesesakan jalanraya saja.

So, Port Dickson then. Tak jauh sangat, tak dekat sangat. Specifically Blue Lagoon. Takdenya Brooke Shields yerrr kawan-kawan. And it was a day trip, pegi pagi, balik petang. Ni langkah-langkah penjimatan juga.

Early birds as we always are, kami sampai PD around 9 am. Dah ada orang tapi tak ramai sangat so we got to secure a spot under pokok2 and very near to the bontot of our kereta. The kids, yang belum sarapan, terus aje nak pegi main kat air and insisted that they were not hungry. Ye lah tu, sikit jam lepas tu, depa makan sandwich sampai tak ingat Umminya huh. Since I forgot to bring apa-apa peralatan untuk main pasir, makanya belilah a bucket with all those penyodok and whatnots. Also a ball for Adam. Kononnya takut Adam nak tidur nanti, I bought one tikar to place the tilam which we brought from KL. The tilam never left the boot anyway he he. Ye lah, why sleep when you can have fun, kan Adam?

Since it was just 9, air masih pasang. I was wondering, whylah people flock there when there's mud kat tepi-tepi tu. After few hours, bila air surut, there.... sandy beach. Boleh jalan jauh-jauh since pasirnya terbentang luas sampai kat depan nun. But still need to jalan thru that lumpur to get to the sandy part. Tak kisahlah, the kids had fun sampai hitam kulit. Adam, the bravest of them all. He waded his way thru dengan air lebih paras pinggang dia then ran all his will on the beach. Yang herannya time dia lari tu, muka dia cam serius giler ha ha. Kakak, althought she was the first to get in and last to get out, claimed she'd prefer pool or water theme park than to a beach. Iman, macam biasa, he took his time trying to adjust and only got in the water 1-2 hours after Kakak dengan Adam dah berendam sakan.

Nota - perbandingan masa air pasang dan surut kat gambar kat bawah ni ha..




Public amenities were good, they have surau, cafe, stalls selling balls, shorts, swimsuits and whatnot. The toilets are clean but the shower stall had no curtain or door. Tak kan nak mandi bogel plak kan? Makanya, mandilah secara berpakaian. Pastu baru tukar baru. Nasib baik bawak towel banyak, boleh le nak cover atas bawah!

Menjelang tengahari, kulitpun dah terbakar, budak-budak dah penat (dan mak pak penat tangkap budak-budak bawak keluar dari laut), we made our way back home. Sampai rumah around 3 pm.

Seronok. We should do this again.
