The highlight of the holidays was of course the 2-night trip to Permai Rainforest Resort. It is a beach resort nestled in the rainforest, right at the foot of Mt. Santubong. It is a more rough and tumble resort compared to the hotel ones which the kids are more used to. They were initially appalled to learn that the cabins did not have tv's! Lol!
However, despite (or perhaps because of?) no electronic stimulation, the kids has a fantastic time! Other than the usual swimming and sand play, we went kayaking and Annie and Hubby tried stand-up paddling (SUP) for the first time. Hubby's friend who manages the place also kindly arranged for a huge bonfire on both nights. It was complete with marshmallows for roasting and a fire-eater for entertainment!!
The kids were astounded and the boys were shouting, "No!! Don't do it!!!" Lol!
Well here are the photos...
Cold drinks at the cafeteria.
This is the jungle pool, filled with cold, fresh water from the mountain.
This was the reaction from my city kids;
"Is the water clean?!!""There's fish!!!"
"Big fish!!!"
"SOMEBODY KILL THE FISH!!"
Suffice to say, nobody went in and we headed to the beach instead...
Annie
enjoyed the stand-up padding.
The rest of the kids had fun
kayaking.
When
Hubby said the two boys could go kayaking on their own without an adult, Hughie
was the first to literally jump ship! Lol!
They even set up a darts corner at
the bonfire.
Roasting marshmallows...
... telling campfire stories...
... and releasing flying
lanterns.
It's
always fun at the beach!!
