We spent a wonderful 4 days on Redang Island at the end of June. The idea was hatched on Wednesday, and phone calls made on Thursday and by Thursday night, we were on the bus! Arannatee's first night time trip...She was very good and I was impressed. I expected lots of disturbed passengers but that did not happen..phew..
We were the only ones at the resort all of Friday. It was nice. Everything was catered to us. We visited Pasir Panjang which was a mistake since there were way too many people. The place was a monstrosity and a joke with so many new resorts and massive nos of people, a bit like Thailand's beaches...so sad. We were very glad to be at our rustic low key resort...
At Redang, Arannatee was in 7th heaven since we let her crawl everywhere and play with water and we were with her all the time! She gets both Baba and Mama all to herself! Her first taste of seawater was hilarious. Wish I had that moment on camera. And her first taste of sand too. Of course both were not her last, she kept on drinking seawater everytime she was in the water and putting fistfuls of sand in her mouth when she was on land! Sigh!
All in all, a wonderful, fantastic holiday. We were even able to dive! And Arannatee was not even freaked out by the loud noise of the speedboat that took us there, in fact, she fell asleep while nursing...
And it was the first time in a long while that Arannatee slept alone in a bed, since there were 2 beds. It was nice to be able toss and turn and not disturb her. And she did not wake up in the middle of the night to play, so there are benefits to sleeping separately...
