And so, after a couple of hours on the road, we were in Port Dickson. This time we stayed in Sunshine Bay Resort, which isn’t such a bad place. Much better than the ones in Genting, though. We were pretty enthusiastic about getting our barbeque pit started at first. At first. While we were hanging around the lobby waiting for our rooms to be ready, the sun was shining bright, the evening was looking good. For about 15 minutes….

_{Now you don’t see, now you do =.=”}

We managed to get sea view rooms, though. At least that’s a bonus for having to stay inside. I have to admit, the view was pretty good.

_{The horizon was glowing. The one on the right was taken from the beach itself.}

It rained, and rained, and rained. It didn’t stop. We were all hungry. We waited for a couple of hours, hoping it would stop. It didn’t. As a last resort, we abandoned our plans for barbeque and drove out to the nearest restaurant.

_{Best meal ever. At that moment.}

After the meal we got back to our hotel to rest. And we were still hoping that the rain would stop, didn’t really stop until it was past midnight. In the mean time we got our bodies twisted and back aching from Twister.

_{*ooh my back hurts*}

We played a couple of rounds to determine the overall loser. There was going to be a punishment.

_This.

Poor Ivan. Somehow, he always end up being the victim. For whatever it may be.

After the Twister session, some of us went to the beach’s pub to have a drink. After which we hanged out on the beach searching for little crabs. By that time, the rain had stopped and the guard actually told us we could start barbequing. The ones who were on the beach wanted to do so, but the rest in their rooms were less interested. After much debate, we decided to call it off anyhow and just go to bed.

Here comes the shocker. We all woke up early to start a fire. We were barbequing in the afternoon. Like the sun wasn’t hot enough! I mean, whoever actually barbeques in the afternoon?? But we didn’t have much choice because all our food was already prepared and we had to finish it somehow. So we carried on roasting our chicken wings and sausages while the Sun roasted us.

This is where my pictures stop. After the barbeque, the temptation to jump into the swimming pool is too hard to resist. It was a huge relief. For once, I appreciated that fact that the water was cold. But then again, I knew very well I was going to get sunburnt, but oh what the heck. I didn’t stay too long because all of us had to get packing to leave.

Update: While we were cleaning up after the barbeque, there were two leftover uncooked eggs. Phil told me to bury it in the sand. As ridiculous as it may seem, (:P) he said that the hot sand would cook the eggs. So we really did bury them and were planning to come back after the swim to collect the supposedly cooked eggs. And…. we didn’t. Now I’m hoping chicks would pop out from them

We all left Port Dickson at about 3. We went back to KL to have our dinner, and our trip has officially ended.

It was a good one.

Things will be changing from now on.
