Brought the babies on their first holiday last week (13 Dec) to Cameron Highlands with their Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle too. Although I'm tickled pink describing it as babies' holiday, because indeed, what could they be needing a break from? Hehe...
Stayed at the Hotel Equatorial's 3-bedroom apartment. Our experience of the place warranted a story on its own here.
We left home about 11am and stopped at Sungkai for lunch at about 1pm. Lunch was superb, with braised pig's trotters, river fish, and local veges. Absolutely amazing stuff being dished out from an unassuming coffee shop setup on the main road.
Arrived and checked in at close to 4pm. The babies slept almost all the way from Simpang Pulai to Kea Farm, which is a good thing. After checking in, settled down and had tea, and Mom prepared the night's dinner. Basically we were just sitting back and relaxing until dinner time. Balcony has a decent view of vegetable farms and we had a pleasant time sitting there.
This place is nice and cool...
Later just before dinner, fed the babies with cereal. As the usual baby chairs were not available, we made do by sitting them on the couch. Worked fine on the most part, though they kept getting up and walking all over...
Cereal in the highlands...
Dinner was great, we had steamboat next to the balcony, and Mom brought a lot of yummy things including her home-made fishpaste, and some scarily big prawns! We put the babies next to us in the cot. Speaking of the (hotel-supplied) cot, it was in surprisingly good condition, complete with little blanket and sheets. Though for the sake of familiarity we brought the babies' own sheets and pillow...
Mommy, we want a big big prawn...
After dinner put the babies to bed around 9pm (past their usual bedtime) but they were so excited that they protested very vocally. But they were so tired from the long day they didn't keep it up and fell asleep rather quickly...
