12 Jun 2008 - Trip to Desaru

We have planned for this Desaru trip just one week ago. It was a bit rush but we are really looking forward to this short trip. Early morning, we had our breakfast at home and did some last minute packing. We will be taking a ferry to Desaru. So I drove my car to Changi Ferry Terimal where the parking is free. In the past, cars were able to go onto the ferry but that had been stopped. Not long after we checked in, we boarded the ferry.
The ferry journey from Changi Ferry Terminal to Tg Belungkor took about half an hour. From there we took the land transfer to Desaru Golden Beach Resort which also took about half an hour. After we checked in to our executive villa, we had lunch at the resort lounge.
We started exploring around the resort and as the resort name implies, it has quite a beautiful and clean beach. We had lots of fun at the beach and it was Jerlene's first time to come so close to the waves. Initially Jerlene was a bit scared when the waves splashed onto her leg. She started hiding behind me but after a while, she enjoyed kicking the waves.
As it was pretty hot under the sun, we did not stay there for too long. Jerlene was quite tired after the fun beach play and the moment we reached our villa, she fell asleep.In the evening, we took Jerlene for a swim in the resort's pool before calling for room service for our dinner.
