Kuantan - the Sea, Sand and Skies

During the recent school holidays, we decided to drive to Kuantan for a short family vacation. Ambitious plans were made whereby we decided we would meet at Woodlands at 8:30am!!! The kids packed their bags and hit the sack real early in anticipation of their early rise. Lo and behold! The kids were really up early... and were roaring to go :)



The drive took about 8 hours and were interspersed with multiple stops. With 3 MPVs and 22 persons (adults and kids) in tow, regular stops were a given :). Finally being guided by GPS for the final leg of our journey, we passed through a very unfamiliar stretch of residential estates before arriving at Swiss Garden Hotel where we would be spending the next 2 nights at. En route to Swiss Garden, we stopped by a pottery shop where I managed to snap this photo (along with an unnamed mozzie). I thought the colours were pretty!

The day after the kids (and the fathers) were ready to hit the sand and sea. In all they spent more than 2 hours catching hermit crabs and playing by the seaside and going out to sea. Nathan and Theodore did lots of stunts including 'flying fish' stunts... wonderful to have caught him in action.

After 2 hours, we had to drag ourselves away from the sea else we risk being totally sun-burnt. All of us were definitely a tone or two darker, but all had great memories of the times spent together.
