Ok, effectively it wasn't KL anymore. It was interesting that we didn't really need the alarm clock yet didn't oversleep in the morning. Maybe it wasnt that tiring a holiday. On the last day in KL, we woke up to a wonderful bfast and muscle ache. My arms were nicely worked up from lugging the float at SL. Lol.
The bfast was a welcome change and the spread was so much better than Impiana hotel. We enjoyed bfast tremendously.
The kids lamented about not swimming in the hotel. We popped up to where the swimming pool was and were glad that it wasn't magnificent or it would have hurt even more. The pool lay beside an open, windy area though. Just nice for a picture before we bid the hotel goodbye.
We checked out after bfast and proceeded to our next destination: Port Dickson. We hit the road and was on the expressway shortly. Smooth!
Port Dickson was about 1 hour drive away. We would be staying at the Thistle Hotel; our 1st stay there. We arrived at Port Dickson at about 11am and the room would only be ready at 2pm. I had planned to visit the Ostrich Farm and was happy to realise that the farm was very near to our hotel. Just nice. Port Dickson is like a sleepy but HUGH town. It might mean driving for kilometers to get to a destination.
Previously when we visited Port Dickson, we rarely stepped out of the hotel, opting to nuah or swim to burn time. This is the 1st time that we actually visited one of the attractions. I was worried that the kids would be bored; we had been to so many farms and enjoyed so much nature for the past few days. My worries were unfounded.
The entrance was at RM15 per adult and RM10 per child. We both 2 bundles of leaves to feed the animals.
Despite being an ostrich farm? What greeted us 1st were hungry goats.
Interestingly, the same leaves can be used to feed the ostriches.
The staff was nice and brought out a probably tamer ostrich for the kids to touch and feed.
She even offered to help us take a family picture with the bird. But I think her photography skill quite lousy. Look at Daddy Lim's head. Lol.
Ok, the 2nd shot was better. At least I didn't marry Mr Ostrich.
It was a small farm and we thought that we would be done soon until we came to the rabbits. So cute and cuddly. The kids ended up spending a long time here.
Look at these. Baby rabbits that were less than a day's old!
Right beside to the Ostrich Farm was a Dog's enclosure. We topped up RM20 to play with the dogs. There were so many different kind of dogs, big and small. The staff said that there were 35 of them. The kids went crazy.
We spent an even longer time petting the dogs. Some of them do look like they could do some grooming but we had a good time still. The dogs were all friendly and happy to have a good scratch or rub. This husky was my favorite. Her rub was amazing soft and she was so calm.
The last part of the farm were the creepy crawlers. By then, the kids were experts; they handled the snake like it was their best friend.
The farm had a small room for art and craft and the kids spent another good half an hour doing sand art. The parents were just happy to hide in the aircon room.
Amazingly, we spent almost 3 hours in the small farm. By the time we were back in the hotel, our room was ready. Hurray!
We had lunch and hid in the room until the weather was kind enough for us to swim. The pool looked inviting from our balcony.
We did go to the beach but it was too dirty and we didn't want to swim in it. The kids tried but there weren't many seashells to pick too.
However, the beach was perfect for pictures come evening.
It was supposed to be a relaxing end to the holidays and we did relax. We fell asleep in front of the TV.
