Wills you have kids. Get them to the amusement park there quickly. Kids paradise, mine simply loved it. Indoor and outdoor rides, and some good coasters for younger kids.
I saw the indoor one already, Skytropolis as we have walked past it twice (hehe father of the year award yet?) promised maybe we would go tomorrow but the elder was feeling a little ropey this morning and started vomiting and now the younger fella as well. So doubt we’ll be doing anything much except cleaning sick off the floor for next 24 hours or so....
*sigh*

Found an excellent clinic, in and out in 15 mins. Dr. thinks it’s gastro and they should start feeling better soon. Notice three languages on the sign, this doctor has worked in Ukraine, UK, Singapore and Malaysia.
The bottom blue tent at the front is a COVID screening station.

We are staying in an apartment, because it’s NYE weekend management office downstairs is closed, reception has a fuck off queue. All to try and arrange some new bedsheets to replace the vomit stained ones from today.
I think a hotel would have been cheaper and easier.
live and learn, I guess.
^ I hope your family feel better soon.
I lived in Kuantan for around 4 years, late 1990s/early 2000s but for some reason or other never made it to Genting.
If ever you fancy a low budget, rough and ready few beach days I can recommend Cherating resort, 30 or so km north of Kuantan. Wooden beach huts and gently sloping beaches... it used to be great. Well, at least it was 20 years ago.
my days of rough and ready ended with my 20s and getting married.*
But who knows knows, your resort have have upgraded since then. And for the record 19 degrees here and I am double laying already and wishing my missus had packed a hat and coat, possibly even gloves. Don’t know how you do it in Europe, particularly north Europe, I did one winter on the Mediterranean and found that cold enough!
* Earlier today my youg fellow was moaning at me, “Dad why did we have to come to this place that doesn’t even have good internet, I cannot even watch Netflix or YouTube it’s so backward. I don’t want to do village again!”
think I have been spoiling him.
Cherating ain't no rough and ready place no more - always had a few nice resorts
There’s lots of Chinese influence here, and thus my better half decided to buy me a delicious snack.
The key word.... BACON!
I also found the reheating instructions somewhat amusing, reheat with microwave (not a good way) - at least they are honest.
Oh my, this sweet and salty concoction was like heaven! It didn’t need no heating up.
BURP.
Wily, Great melodramatic drama you have going on, enjoy your holiday.
hope the kids and wife are well now.
Entertaining travel thread, Wills - so far..
Seems as no one can be bothered with these types of threads anymore - once steadfast pieces for TD.
Hoping there's more coming.
Cheers!
I gotta be honest, is was a bit touch and go as to should we just cancel the rest of the week and race back to KL and doctors and hosipitals and all or stay here and tough it out. Spew on the beds with no spare bedsheets as mentioned in post #35 above. And getting clean ones was a mission. Customer service line never answered the phone, management office was closed for the holiday so that queue above I joined was 1 receptionist checking in new people.
After a 40 minute wait I was not real happy nor polite. She had a manager working a computer and 3 mobiles next to her, he said id have to wait because his cleaning staff were busy and besides he’ll need to check the current sheets first, I exploded and said come upstairs with me right now and check the bladdy sheets then, I’ll be happy to wait as that’s wait I had been doing all afternoon or he could just give me the goddam bedsheets myself and I will take them up because I could see the open storeroom from where I stood and that got a few people running around.
This is like soap opera. I can't help it - I'm getting drawn into the saga. How are the kids doing?
It wasn’t supposed to be a soap opera, it was originally a simple travel thread.
Master KW is now in pretty good shape, wants a Cheesy pepperoni pizza* & riding the scooter around the apartment. Miss KW is miles better than yesterday but still feeling slightly under the weather, and farting Both have been able to drink water this morning and eat a little rice porridge.
Just to give you an indication of how bad it was yesterday, when we took the kids to the clinic Miss KW had to be carried, she was too weak to walk. Master KW could walk inside but then wanted to lay on the small sofa, it was a funny sort of standing and top half laying facedown on the chair/sofa. The triage nurse was asking the symptoms and we said vomiting only, she asked did they have diarrhoea and we said no, then Master KW quietly piped up with I think I just did some...
*Needless to say he is not getting one.
^I hope your kids feel better, KW
Btw, your son sounds a bit bratty, complaining about lack of internet & Netflix, etc. But then, I think it's the same for middle class kids the world over, including my nephew!
Cheers & happy new year to you & your family.
He got told, believe me. I think we’ve done too many 5* resorts and not enough backpacker type trips. Thanks for your concern, they are feeling better. Anyway, a quiet day for today.
old skool board games.
snakes and ladders (I lost)
now ludo, which bores me silly, but the kids like it, so there’s that.
Netflix is part of his normal, though. My parents thought that I was a spoiled brat when, at nine years old, I expressed my astonishment that one of my classmates lived in a household with no television. I still find that a bit strange, for that time and that place.
My mother's normal at nine years old included her neighbourhood being bombed by the Luftwaffe, whereas I had never known a time without television, and could not really imagine one.
I haven't watched television for years....
