Day 3 & 4; Homestay Kuala Sungai Baru, Melaka


Assalamualaikum...

Nak sambung cerita Day 1 and Day 2 hari tu. Lepas balik dari JB-Singapore, next destination pergi Melaka. Kat sana we all tido Homestay. Nak merasa Homestay dekat tepi laut. Plusssss..homestay ni special sebab ada live-in hosts. Maksudnya, hosts tu tinggal serumah dengan kita. Best part they cook for us too! Kalau biasa dengar homestay, dah bayar sewa you get the keys pastu owner/host tu balik lah rumah dia. Ini tak..they will be around to make sure we are comfortable staying in their house. I like the concept, bak kata Kak Ros (homestay owner/host)..."macam balik kampung". Siapa yang tak ada kampung lagi la sesuai merasa pengalaman macam gini.

Endurance

Remember I said about this time our holiday theme was 'endurance'. Naik-public-transport-crossing-border-given-few-hours-time ala AMAZING RACE dah try. Haaaa...kali ni KAMPUNG style la pulak. No aircond, gadgets, fast food, shopping malls segala. Amik kaw!!

Promoting Homestay Kuala Sungai Baru, Melaka

Sebelum tu, promo sikit homestay ni untuk Kak Ros, Abang Man dan juga Chef in the house Azim (anak bongsu mereka). Highly recommended you alls! Selain dari tempat tu yang 5 star for its kampung style...credit goes to mereka-mereka yang disebut di atas. Masya Allah they are so friendly. Kejap je kita dah rasa macam..eh ni rumah kita jugak ke?

Please consider this for your next holiday. Especially nak buat family day ke. 2-3 small families ok rasanya kat sini. Tengok FB page kat sini.

Ada aktiviti in door and outdoor. Mesti fun abis! Yang suka amik gambar dan di ambil gambar...haa this place is a good place to take pictures. Scenic view by the beach yang depan rumah je. And the house itself...so traditional...macam semua angle boleh jadi gambar kad raya! Tepi tingkap putih, atas kerusi rotan, dekat tangga merah, bawah pokok kemboja... ish apa-apa jugak lah...

Kids would love it. They can run around. Dekat beach boleh lari kejar itik ke kalau selain dari beach activities la. Kat laman rumah pun luas. Malam hari boleh tangkap hermit crab. Kalau bernasib baik boleh tengok penyu bertelur! Ada hammock jugak kalau suka lepak sambil swing gitu kan. Ahhhh perfect.

For group of adults...nak piknik depan rumah..nak pasang kemah ke...atau boleh lepak santai je dekat pangkin depan tu..borak-borak. Nak main congkak ke. Main gitar ke. Karom pun ada kat sana. Kot nak canggih bawak Monopoly board game with credit card machine. We alls bawak Saidina je hari tu. Hehehhe..Naik main tarik tali pun ada rasanya. Nak naik bot ke, naik basikal pusing kampung.

Tengok lah sendiri dekat FB diorang. Harga....sangat lah berpatutan. Kalau all-in with food...memang tak menyesal. Simple dan Sedap.

Journey to homestay
a. JPO stop

Flashback balik sebelum sampai ke homestay. Bangun awal pagi hari tu pukul 7.30 dah terpacak dekat swimming pool sebab kids nak berendam dulu sebelum balik. Siap packing off we went to have breakfast dekat the famous Kacang Pool Haji, Larkin Bomba. Perut dah kenyang gerak menuju ke Johor Premium Outlet pulak. Hai...time ni macam dah rasa dah..sure lewat sikit sampai homestay. Boleh ke Window Shopping je?


2-3 hours jugak la dekat JPO. Sangkut lama dekat GAP tak boleh nak decide apa lagi satu item. Asalnya nak beli jeans for the kids and myself. Tapi ada promotion pulak. Buy 3 get 1 free. Arrghhh..last-last kids dapat 2 pair of jeans each. Semua 5 items. Pandaikan tactic depa..last2 pembeli terbeli juga. Niceeeee..

b. Minyak habis

Dah lepas lunch time..tak makan ni sebab ingat nak makan dekat homestay lah. Beli air je minum dekat JPO tadi. Start balik journey nak ke Melaka. Boleh pulak tak isi minyak......Sedar-sedar minyak dah tinggal less than 20km. R&R dah terlepas. Wooohhh ni ala drama apa nih! Idrees pulak nak sheesheee...tak tahan. Berhenti lah tepi highway tu. Mak aiiii dangerous!

Tutup aircond. Pasang Waze nak locate the nearest petrol pump. Itu jam la Waze buat perangai. Sib baik semua phone ada data line. Pakai phone encik husband pulak. Hmmmm..we really need to decide. Jalan jugak for the nearest R&R atau keluar dari highway. Kalau ikut Waze tu 8km ke nearest R&R ada petrol pump. Minyak tinggal lagi 6km. Apa akan jadi kalau minyak 0km. Mati terus ke kereta? Hai tak sanggup nak take the risk. Look for the nearest exit. Sempat ni. Kalau tak de nearest petrol pump after that at least boleh berhenti tepi jalan then ask for help.... we decided exit the highway. PAGOH. Dah keluar tu kalau ikut Waze Petrol pump 2km. We only have 3km left exactly. Heh bahaya nih.

Sehebat2 teknologi.. Hebat lagi kalau kita ringan mulut bertanya. Nasib baik we all tanya abang jual buah dekat tepi hentian tol tu. Dia kata ada petrol pump less than 1km for here. To the left. Caltex. Whereas Waze kata Petronas to the right of junction. Haaaa tengok tu! Ya allah, syukur gila time tu. Nasib baik informasi yang diberikan betul. Ngam sampai dekat petrol pump. 1km left. Fuhhhh...so much of endurance I tell youuuuuu.


c. Akhirnya sampai juga

Dekat pukul 4.30pm baru sampaiiiiii... Jauh tempatnya. Berdekatan dengan ALAM (Akademi Laut Malaysia). Segan jugak dengan host nak bagi tau "berliku-liku" jalan nak sampai ke mari. hahhaha..

Dah sampai, disambut dengan mesra. Rasa best jek. Nak makan tengahari ke minum petang? Hah, tak malu lah. Kami nak makan dua-dua! Memang lapar sangat kot. Dah isi perut. Rehat kejap. Rasaaaaaa...alahai..if only we reached earlier. So much activities we could do. Tapi tak pa lah. Allah knows best kan.




Insya allah we will come again some other time. It was a wonderful experience. Mana tau by then it's already upgraded to butik resort ;-)
