Trip to Taiping

On 8 March 2009 we went to Taiping. We arrived about 4.30pm and checked into Hotel Furama. It was a clean and simple hotel with all the necessary facilities for us.

We took Julian to the railway station but unfortunately there were no trains scheduled to arrive at that time.

The weather was wet and so for dinner, we headed for a place with a sheltered car park - TESCO. There we met Aileen and proceeded to Taiping Sentral for dinner. We decided to eat at Heritage.

The next day we went to the Lake Gardens. It was drizzling but we managed to let Julian have a look at the paddle boats on the lake. We also took him to play on a concrete slide. Daddy and Mummy also enjoyed the slide :-)

After checking out, we met Aileen for lunch - again at TESCO due to the weather. This time we ate at Rasa Mas.

We left after lunch. We initially planned to take Julian to the Ecopark at Bukit Merah, but he fell asleep in the car and the weather was wet. So we postponed that visit.
