IMG_6956.jpg

今天天氣超好,拎著長鏡到附近拍拍春色,還有拍鳥(大山雀、藍山雀、喜鵲、骨頂雞、白頰黑雁、鳳頭鸊鷉、鷦鷯、麻雀等)。這輯照片裡,有的喜歡的小鳥有加上裁圖,可以看清楚一點。
Today, the weather was top for outdoor activities. I decided to make pictures of the spring scenery, and also to spot birds (koolmees, pimpelmees, meerkoet, brandgans, fuut, winterkoning etc) in neighborhood. This section includes some crop pictures from original photo. Continue reading

IMG_0216.jpg

我們在馬六甲只過一夜,住的是在古城旁的惠勝酒店,貪圖的就是從這裡可以步行到主要的觀光景點。晚上到它頂樓(22樓)的奧爾托天空酒吧(Alto Sky Lounge)還可以賞夜景。
We only stayed at Hatten Hotel in Malacca for a night. This hotel is within 15 minutes walking distance of the main historical spots. The Alto Sky Lounge at its top floor (22nd floor) provides a wonderful location to enjoy the night scene of Malacca. Continue reading

到了西馬,我們的第一站是馬六甲。到了吉隆坡國際機場KLIA,大妹來接機後,就直奔馬六甲。從機場到馬六甲約兩個小時路程,下午五點許到Hatten惠勝酒店,湘群導遊已經在等了。這輯是沿途的照片。

【17返馬】20170803。亞庇 KK (17) 馬努干島 Manukan Island (2)

IMG_9413.jpg

這趟純放鬆的雙島一日遊深得公公婆婆的喜愛,我們也難得先體驗下老人式的玩法。在馬努干島待到下午三點,我們踏上歸途。晚上,同樣在酒店享受自助晚餐,過後就得收拾行李,準備第二天飛西馬了。
This Twin Islands Hopping Trip is a big success for a relaxing day, and Wim and Diny love it so much. We stayed at Manukan Island until 15 pm. Then, seatango brought us back to Sutera Harbour.

【17返馬】20170803。亞庇 KK (16) 馬努干島 Manukan Island (1)

IMG_9359.jpg

馬努干島是東姑阿都拉曼國家公園的第二大島,呈扁弧狀,南邊約1.5公里長的沙灘,海水蔚藍清淺,海裡魚兒很多(據說保證可以看到Nemo魚),是嬉水和浮潛的天堂。該島上有國家公園管理處,旅遊設施齊全,因而成了大多數出海一日遊的目的地。我們在這裡用了午餐,繼續擇點吹海風。
Manukan Island is the second largest island of Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. There is a long white beach of about 1.5 km at its southern side, with its clear and calm sea water, forms a paradise for tourists to swim and snookering here. This island is well facilitated with resort and leisure activities, and is a popular tourist spot of KK. We had our lunch here, and continue enjoying sea breeze at the beach side. Continue reading

IMG_9234.jpg

東姑阿都拉曼國家公園是馬來西亞第一個海洋國家公園,離亞庇約3-8公里,由五個小島組成:嘉亞島(Gaya Island),沙比島(Sapi Island),馬穆迪島(Mamutik Island),馬努干島(Manukan Island)和蘇洛島(Sulug Island)。除了美麗的沙灘和清澈的海水,這保護區內擁有許多特別的珊瑚和海洋生物,是浮潛和潛水的天堂。我們先來到嘉亞島西南邊的沙比島。Sapi是馬來語“牛”,可直譯為牛島。到了這島後,我們在大樹下吹海風、看風景,老外式地渡過了二個小時,再移駕到馬努干島吃午餐。
Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park is located between 3 to 8 km off from Kota Kinabalu, and consists of 5 islands: Gaya Island, Sapi Island, Mamutik Island, Manukan Island and Sulug Island. It’s the first ocean national park of Malaysia, and one of the snookering and diving paradise in Sabah. We visited Sapi Island first, and transferred to Manukan Island for lunch. Continue reading

IMG_9076.jpg

上山(神山)後,來下海了。這天選了Amazing Borneo的海島一日遊(Beautiful Twin Islands Hopping),去沙比島(Sapi Island)和馬努干島(Manukan Island)玩。早上八點,導遊到酒店載我們到絲綢港灣Sutera Harbour,九點許就出海了。我們乘坐的小遊艇seatango,名過其實的海上探戈,極速往沙比島衝去。
After visiting Mt. Kinabalu, it’s time to visit islands nearby Kinabalu. We have chosen for the Beautiful Twin Islands Hopping, organized by Amazing Borneo, to visit Manukan and Sapi Islands.

【17返馬】20170801-03。亞庇 KK (12) 凱城之自助晚餐 Buffet Dinner at Promenade Hotel

IMG_8686.jpg

在凱城住了三晚,我們就在那享受了三晚的自助晚餐,原因很簡單:第一晚的龍蝦濃湯把婆婆的心收買了,加上冷菜、熱菜和甜點的選擇很多,兩老就決定接著的兩天也來這用晚餐就好。反正此行以兩老的喜好為主,所以,我們完全沒有去其他餐廳吃亞庇的新鮮海鮮美食。這輯全是凱城酒店的自助晚餐拍的美食。
We stayed at Promenade Hotel for 3 nights, and we had their buffet dinner for 3 evenings, just because Diny was convinced by their delicious lobster soup at the first evening and decided to enjoy their buffet for another 2 evenings. These are the pictures of the buffet dinners. Continue reading
