The cliche post
Yesterday, after an early get up, waiting for a bus without schedule and then making it to the bus that was to take us to the east coast, a long 6 hour ride, being dropped off in the middle of a main road and walking into the village that we were heading into, we sweatily roamed the streets in search of accommodation and finally settled into this:
That brown bungalow on the left is ours.
I am jumping up in the story a bit, there is a lot to say about the places that I have not written about, but, but…but, the sweetness of this set up is impossible for one person to hang onto for long. Its so sweet, it will give me cavities.
This is our front yard and I guess we were ready for it, all of us.
Even the little grubby fella, found himself a little rock set up and splashed in the pool.
We soaked up the sunset as though we have never seen one before. The water is like tea – warm and clear – reminds me of late summer Black Sea holiday. Only its nicer.
But, if we thought the sunset was amazing, we were absolutely left without comment at the sight of what the morning brought to us.
The sea had retracted so much along the shallow floor, that now there were numerous little pools and “islands” for us to explore. And that is exactly what we did.
And to complete this full of cliche images post, I will throw in this one of the girls running a kite on the beach.
The sea is now back and we will spend the afternoon right here.
Sorry about that ;)
It must be amazing to wake up looking out to sand and ocean. You lucky things. Enjoy
Beautiful! Now THAT’s a holiday!! :)
That looks heavenly! How will you ever be able to pry yourself away from a place like that??
Oh it really does look beautiful – I wish I was there right now swimming in the warm water.
where is this place? how does one get there? what’s your accommodation like?
Nina, this is in Cherating, on the East coast of Malaysia (mainland). A small resort village with not much else but the beach.
Our accommodation is a bungalow – pretty basic, but with a/c, hot water and tv, so not too bad. Right on the beach. All for the huge price of $33 ;)
There were fancier places, but for us its good enough.
It has been heavenly and we are enjoying it a lot. This afternoon we have a sand-castle building competition, so the girls are busy picking up raw materials and making plans.
Now I’m a bit envious. :)
What an amazing place! And yes, add me to the envious list!
Thanks for the info – that sounds like a dream! $33 nice one!
So how did the sand castle comp go?
But of course my team won ;)
Cliche or not, me thinks that’s what life is all about!! Enjoy it and savor every moment… :) Do we get to see pictures of the winning sand castle? xoxo
Castles! Castles! Want to se them!
The only thing that would make the pictures PERFECT is my tent among the trees. :)))))))))))
Lovely! We’ve always wanted to make it over to Cherating but never really sure if the beach was worth the drive. It certainly looks like it is though. Thanks for sharing.
Now this is beautiful.
Can you give me the name of the bungalow, we are in KL right now and are planning to take our time in Malaysia. I think the boys need a bit of a beach holiday and that would be paradise.
Cliché or not I really like it.
Beautiful pictures as ever.
Thanks

T, I cant remember a name, but Mr.Blab thinks it was “riverside” something. It is close to the beginning of the street and across Kendi Warung (which had delicious cheap food).
I hope you have as good time in Cherating as us.
