Desaru Here We Come!

After resting for a day returning from Melbourne, we are setting off again but this time, we have our parents with us. We are heading to Desaru for a short trip to have the kids bond with their grandparents.

We set off pretty early hoping to avoid the traffic jam at the causeway but guess it is not avoidable as we were stuck in the jam for about 1hr 20 minutes. It was not as bad but it’s a waste of time after all. We dropped by at the new shopping mall in JB to have our lunch before continuing our journey to Desaru. 

Journey from JB to Desaru was about one hour and with the GPS, it took us safely to the destination without any delays. When we arrived at Hard Rock Desaru Coast, the sky was not too friendly and turned a little dark. We hurried to get the kids to change and dashed to the pool before it pours.

I was rather disappointed with the pool as it was pretty small compared to the one at Resort World Sentosa. The pool was crowded but the kids managed to have a dip with their dad for at least 30 minutes before it started to pour.

There wasn’t much stuff to do since it was raining so, we rested in our room and headed down to the restaurant for dinner. Their main restaurant was serving buffet dinner and it was very reasonable priced.

It was quite a tiring day for us after a long drive from Singapore and we turned in early to charge up ourselves for tomorrow.
