Port Dickson- December 2007

Port Dickson is not a strange place for us. It was the place that we’ve keep coming back since we were young. But I believe PD now has more to offer other than the sandy beaches such Teluk Kemang, Blue Lagoon, Batu Lapan, etc. I can’t recommend any accomodation since we would normally rent a place at either my dad or sis’ co’s sites. But once we stayed at Guoman. I’ve got nothing much to comment. The room was spacious. The pool was superb and the interior furniture really lives up to the 5 Star standard.

We are never tired of revisiting this infamous beach. 2 years ago, besides dipping into the Straits of Malacca, we visited several nearby attractive spots. The Ostrich Farm does only hold a number ostriches. but there were also monkeys. rabbits, goats, crocs. snakes to be enjoyed especially by the kids. I did get intimidate by the ostrich while feeding them. They could really pecked your palms.

Then we went for an educational visit to the Muzium Tentera Darat Malaysia. I had fun climbing the real tanks. I believe this is actually a very recommended place for History teachers to bring the students for a visit. I wish it existed during my school days. As it is really a fun way to learn about our nation’s history. And the exhibits are 1^st class! It is not anything like a very dull and abandoned museum but I would say your PD visit may not be complete if you don’t stop by here.

Last year, on our way to PD, we stopped by other tourist attraction. We took the Seremban exit and visited the State Museum. The building is high in esthetical value. When we went there, they held a Herbs Exhibition located at the upper level of the main building. That I would have to say that the exhibits were not looked after appropriately. Some of the plants were already dead but were not removed from the hall... However, I did learn many Scientific Terms for the plants that I see everyday.

Later, we stopped at Kota Lukut. It brought us back to the. All of us managed to reach the top of the hill though we had to climb up the steep stairs.

Everytime we go there, we would never failed to dine at Warung Mak Mah (No 1001 & 1002, Km 1 Kedai Jamek) for its delicious Nasi Ayam (Chicken Rice) and also the Cendol Stall at the road side (I don’t actually remember the exact location). And yes, the Pasar Malam that is held every Saturday night is also a place you-must-visit if you are really interested in searching for the local food or local handcrafts.

Port Dickson is certainly a place for any family to get-away at any time of the year.
