2017-10-05 (Thursday) - Sunway Lagoon and Our Old Haunts!




Had a free breakfast at around 8am, but not a great one! Almost got jipped at the hotel with a package guy, but made the right choice by getting a normal taxi to Sunway Lagoon - well, almost as he tried to save us some money by taking us to some dodgy tourist traps too! What is it with these guys!?

Finally got to Sunway Lagoon, and started off on the water slides, then then lazy river, then rapids, then back to the big water slides, feeding the sun bears, lions and tigers, lunch, then more water slides! Seems quick, but we stayed from 10am to around 4pm! It was great fun, and ended on the big water slide - what a way to end the day! Paish won the racing mats - boo!

Tried to get a taxi, but refused to get ripped off, so we headed through Sunway Pyramid, and found a meter taxi to Taman Tun Dr Ismail - wow, hasn’t changed much at all! It was so strange. We walked past our old place then past the pool and where Catchy was originally invented - so strange. We then proceeded to walk up the hill where I used to run and walk - it had changed a lot, and we almost could not recognise it! We decided to get a taxi, but take a detour up to hill to see if we could recognise more of it - we immediately saw monkeys! We then walked to the corner, and it all came back to us! It was so nice, and they had made some lovely improvements. So many people were doing exercise up the hill now - I must have started a trend! Amazing to see our old place again, and so funny!

On the way down we bought some home made juice, then the taxi took us to the newly built MRT which was sooo cool and fully automated! Very impressive, and even more impressive that we skipped all the rush hour traffic!

Got back at around 7pm - Rox and Mummy went to take our stuff back, and Paish and Daddy got some money, did some bargains for some shorts and fruit, then we all went for dinner - crab, noodles and chicken wings! Yummy, and we didn’t order too much this time. We headed straight to Chinatown, and shopped for fidget spinners, makeup, souvenirs in Central Market, and clothes. Finally home at 10.30pm, checked in, ate fruit and kak lapis, then bed at 11.30pm.
