A Road Trip to Desaru

Finally, i got to upload all the pictures here and today i will be doing a post on Desaru!

My first time to Desaru and we were to get there by car and dear at the wheel. A group of 6 pax, so there's another car and Edmund at the wheel too! This trip is especially dedicated for Dennis to celebrate her birthday!

We got to rely on our GPS to guide our way there and i was extremely afraid that we might lost the way. I'm always the timid ones when it comes to such situations. Thankfully, there was no jam at the Woodlands Checkpoint and we reached Johor at about 6am in the morning. 

There's no speed limit in Malaysia, so dear gets to drive a little faster so that we can reach early. We had our walkie talkie with us so that we can communicate to each other whether to turn left or right or stop for toilet breaks.

We did a research on the new highway that lead to Desaru directly. Its called E22 Senai Desaru Highway and if you took this highway, the trip is approx 40min from Pasir Gudang to Desaru. 
Its a single carriageway so its pretty scary if there's another car drove pass us when both of our cars were driving at fast speed. 

This is the bridge you will get to see when you are at the highway. Once you see this bridge, you are at the correct track. 



Check out the whole bridge here (extracted from google)



Here's a group shot of us before we continue with our journey


And finally, we reached Desaru safely! :D


Checked in our resort
(Pulai Desaru Beach Resort)



I was perspiring when we reached and I'm feeling extremely tired after a long ride.
Didn't had enough sleep the night before, and we woke up at 4.30am in the morning.


With Dennis


With Chiu Ting 
(the bride to be in Oct and i'm one of her sister!)

Our first destination 
(Desaru Fruit Farm!)




We took this vehicle to bring us a tour of the farm and it cost approx $10 per pax. 













Very gigantic jackfruit



Rambutans!


Perspiring like mad!




Mini Bananas!


The two color top that i'm wearing is available @ kissjane only! :D
Only last piece left on the rack!

Took a break at this point, and we took this opportunity to get some refreshing fruit juice and photo taking!






Another group shot of us








Next, to the mini Zoo!











The small little ducklings are so cute!!!




And it reminds me of this ;)









We took the same vehicle back and we are entitled to an assorted fruits!




We spent the rest of the day playing around at the beach and swimming! 
Lunch was at Teppanyaki restaurant located in our resort and we Ta-bao seafood for dinner as well. 
Spent the night celebrating Dennis's birthday in our resort! <3


The next morning, we woke up at around 11am and prepared to checkout at 12pm. 


Worn TSW manufactured label - Shirlyn Pleated Cami Top in Orange!


Love the pleats!


Our breakfast cum lunch



Here's a quick view of Pulai Desaru Resort





The journey back to Johor was pretty smooth and we reached Johor in approx only 30mins! 
Damn fast cos dear knew the way back. 

So, as usual, its car-washing time in JB! Everytime we are at JB, we will spend some time for car washing and pump petrol at Shell cos its so much cheaper as compared to Spore!


Our very tiring face. muahahaha



Back to Singapore at about 4.30pm in the noon and there was a jam at Woodlands Causeway.

Next time, if i were to visit Desaru again, i wanna visit Ostrich Farm and see fireflies!!! 

Much love,
Jamie
