It was sun, sea and sand again for the family over last weekend at the Legends Water Chalet, Port Dickson. We headed to Melaka first in the morning to to have lunch in Jonker street and followed by my long awaited Mille Crepe, as reviewed by Ann.

Zoe ordering from menu, Nyonya asam laksa and Mille Crepe (we took the original and rum raisin flavour). The Mille Crepe is RM8.50 per slice and really yummy, just melts in the mouth. Feels like layers and layers of crepe with fresh cream in between.

We arrived at Legends Water Chalet close to 5pm. We have initially booked the deluxe water chalet, which is a 2 storey chalet and we only manage to get the upper unit as it is thru a friend’s timeshare membership. I was quite pleased when the reception upgraded our rooms to the premium water chalet at no cost as their deluxe has been fully occupied. Who says the "late birds never gets their worms!"…hahaha!

Premium water chalet comes with glass floor at the room and toilet. Zoe had the most fun playing at the glass floor. She was quite amazed with the floor and was initally afraid to step on it. After she see me and Daddy standing on top of the glass, she knows its ok and spend most of her time lying or staring at the glass and sort of telling us what she saw at the sea. When the tides are low, we could actually see crabs and some small fishes swimming around - its quite amazing!

The toilet is huge (biggest I have ever seen) and it is situated right after the entrance - apparently its design in such a way so that you could wash up after playing at the sand before you enter the room. It has an open air shower area and a big bath tub, which Zoe had fun continuing her swimming session there

We spent the first day walking around the resort and just enjoy the sea breeze. It was very windy and refreshing and thank God the weather was good and did not rain, thou the clouds looks like its gonna rain heavy. Zoe had lots of fun running around and looking out to the sea, occasionally she will throw some biscuit crumbs to the sea, telling me she is feeding the fish…hahaha

Second day after breakfast, we head to the beach for some serious sand castle building project. As you can see, Zoe had other ideas in mind and started flooding the sand. She loves watching the water seep into the sand. We manage to make some sand crabs, boats and star fish using the moulds but was also later drown by Zoe…hahaha. Zoe loves the pool too and was having a good time as there were other kids there. I had quite a hard time trying to get her out of the pool later when its time to be back for a bath.

We manage to go to the PD ostrich farm as well. I think that the entrance fee is quite steep at RM8 per adult and RM6 per kid. We did not have to pay for Zoe’s ticket as she is only 14 months. Zoe loves the rabbits and did not show any fear at all, she started touching and feeding the rabbits by herself. She don’t really like the ostrich, crocodile and iguana thou - maybe reptilian and Big Bird don’t really appeal to her!

Food was good in PD too and very reasonable, we had seafood dinner at Wing Li seafood restaurant (at Teluk Kemang), seaview seafood restaurant (at Lukut) and the famous Lukut’s Lucky King giant pau. Overall, PD is really a nice short getaway for city folks like us - away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
