Desaru Malaysia

We had a 2-day 1-night trip to Desaru on 2 July. A short trip but fun and meaningful. We stayed in Lotus Desaru Hotel, visited the ostrich farm, bought some fruit in the fruit farm, ate delicious and cheap seafood, watched fireflies and shopped in Tebrau City before heading for home. Many new experience for the children, especially the the visiting of the ostrich and fruit farms and the viewing of fireflies. We have learnt much from the trip. For example, the mother ostrich weighs about 130 kg and she will sit on her eggs without cracking them. So we also tried balancing on the ostrich eggs coz we are less than 130 kg! While taking the cruise to see the fireflies, the river was pitch dark. The children were afraid. However, they were very fascinated when they saw the thousands of twinkling lights near the bushes at the river bank. In order to maintain the darkness, photography was not allowed so I told Pb to remember that night and lock it in her memory bank. These are things that we do not see in Singapore and I'm glad that the children had the opportunity to experience it.

On day 2, we checked out of the hotel and drove to Tebrau City, JB for our shopping. We ended our trip by having dinner in Fish Manhattan, before heading for home at about 6 pm.
