Avillion @ PD - 2nd Round visit!

Does this look familiar??? It does?
Yup. We are back @ Avillion PD. We loved it so much, that we decided we would love a revisit. So, here we are a second time round!!!
And this time, more prepared to enjoy the facilities along with Little One. And Little One getting more courage to go up the water slide.
This time too, Mummy and and Daddy can join him in his Kiddy pool. :)
Does he look like a Frogfish??? :P


His umpteen time going up!
We also decided to visit the beach (called Riau) located next to the Garden Chalets. Unfortunately, we still preferred the other side, and so made our way there...
Little One gazing away and enjoying his view the next morning
An almost 180 degree panorama shot...
As the tide was low, yours truly decided to venture out...
Whilst Missus and Little One played on the sand.


Missus enjoying herself with the strong sea breeze that we were getting then...
Normally, in normal or high tide, this out rock would be hidden under waters. But when the tide's low...

Family photo!
Sadly, still having no luck with a proud peacock....
Neither with this one...
For lunch, we decided to have it @ Starbucks, PD Waterfront... Here's the view at the car park.
And Little One enjoying himself...
But not happy to go home...
But at least someone's enjoying her Starbucks! :P

The End.

Spending time @ Avillion Beach Resort, Port Dickson

We decided to cuti-cuti Malaysia and where did we end up? Avillion Beach Resort, PD!

So what is it? Well, it's chalet style residences as opposed to hotel (i.e. room) stays.
And this is what it looks like. Staying above the Straits of Malacca waters. 
Yours truly bought a selfie stick so that he can finally be in the picture! :P
 Little One couldn't wait to explore the area and the beach... which took us a while to find. And was very eager to don his Shark Hat! Which is a first coz he absolutely deplores it; even though it is his favourite animal.
 But before that, here's our bathroom.
 And... yes, that's what's beyond the wooden rail in the above picture. So, you'll get the sound of the waves as you shower.
 Or use the bath tub. Now, if you DO want some privacy, as the tub and shower is 'open' between each other, there are blinds that you can roll down. Having said that though, missus commented that it doesn't provide 100% privacy... :P

And the wash basin... it's opposite the shower area,
 Our king bed and beyond that, the Pangkin Day Bed.

 And off to the beach we go!

 And so, we're here. Waiting for the sun to set...


 In the meantime, it's time to play @ the beach.
 Missus gave Little One a stick to draw....
 Like So...

 But he ended up having more fun with it than we thought!
 So where's this beach then? Well, one had to walk beyond chalets number 900 series to get to it. It actually shares a part of it with the public beach...

One interesting thing to note: this beach resort is under the flight path of Air Asia flights as they come in to land @ KLIA2...
 Waiting for the sun to set.

 But in the meantime, Little One running loose and wild...
 Leaving his tracks behind for our memories...

 We were worried about the beach. Especially, having heard of the horrors of its unclean beach; especially for PD. But surprise, surprise. It's actually quite clean. Aside from the idiotic resident mentality of trowing the miniature bath / shampoo bottle, which we found, there wasn't anything else to be found in terms of rubbish.

Overall, very happy.

 Avillion have a petting zoo and along as well, some resident birds that roam freely. This one, decided to visit the beach. Unfortunately, it wasn't feeling very proud. So no displays here.

 Still waiting for the sun to set.


 Did he like it? Obviously, from his jumping, the answers, yes.


 Almost there.


 Here we go... setting sun.




 Obviously, my front facing camera brighten things up way too much.

 Can you spot something interesting up there?
 What the chalet looks like at night.
 Oh, by the way, if one choose to shower, you're under the flight path of Air Asia flights...

Now, at the start, it's kinds cool. But as you want to sleep... those frequent flights might annoy you...
 Shot of the Day.
 The next day, we had low tide. And that's what you get if you stayed at those chalets that front the Straits... Next time!
 Little One completely knackered after enjoying himself in the kiddy pool.
The End.
