Day 5: Goodbye Perhentian and Alunan

We slept in a little more today, since we had nothing to do until checkout time at 11am. We were booked for the 12.00pm boat. Headed to Bayu Restaurant to have our breakfast. At the egg station, the man asked if Mei-mei liked pancakes to which you said you liked it, but didn't want it today. You didn't look too good, probably exhausted from the many days of activities.

Breakfast
To our surprise as we were finishing up, the waiter brought us this platter, saying it was from the chef. Aww.. so sweet!
After breakfast, we went back to the room to grab something for Minh to share with Nikki. We had packed Solo for you kids. Since we never had a chance to drink our drinks, we decided to pass it to them. Surely Nikki would love and miss this Aussie drink. Also took a photo with her:
Went back to shower and finish packing. The porter came to the room to pick up our stuff. Then we headed to the lobby to wait for the boat. Here you kids just wandered around, petting Itam and played some of the games, SNAP and batu Seremban.
Our food bag. We barely touched the food we packed.

Then we walked to the Sunset Deck and had some cold water while waiting for the boat to arrive. When the boat arrived, we hopped in and Mei-mei promptly fell asleep. 

When we reached Kuala Besut, daddy and Ko-ko went to get the car while we made our way back to the Alunan office. Before that, we had time to stop to quickly buy some souvenirs for you to give your friends. 

When we finally packed into the car, we decided not to have lunch. Daddy filed up his car and off we started our journey back to Penang. 

The drive back seemed slower as the traffic on the roads were much heavier than when we drove over.

We had a toilet stop at the Titiwangsa RnR. Thought to look for anything to eat, but nothing seemed appetizing. After stretching our legs a little and enjoying the view and cool air, we hopped back into the car. This time, I let Ko-ko sit in front and Mei-mei didn't seem to look too good.

Beautiful
When we had phone line, I messaged Ah Ma to have Kakak cook moi-moi for mei-mei since she seemed to be having a slight fever. 

We reached Penang at around 6.30pm where daddy dropped Ko-ko and I to queue for Shariff nasi kandar then he headed home to drop off the stuff and a tired little girl.
And thus ends our holiday.
