We went for our road trip to Cameron Highlands about two weeks ago! We were thinking bout something like K.K seafood vacay but then we changed it last minute before booking to Cameron instead because if we were to take the airplane we will not be able to bring our turt kids along. After thinking for a little while we decided on Care-a-Lot road trip! That will be ideal to bring the boys and the two naughty ones together.... Ideal...
We started to search for the right way to transport these naughties in a car. Many sites we found online discouraged us from bringing them along. But there are a list of suggestions for those who insist to bring their adorable ones along. So we read that carefully and were on our way to a wonderful time. This was basically how we transported them. We are blessed to be in hot sunny Malaysia so there was no need to worry about keeping the temperature right for them as we drove to our destination. The journey took us 6 hours, we stopped occasionally to mist them and also gave them water to drink and play in but overall was just fun! They were moving about making lots of noise and enjoying themselves. Halfway through the journey, Lapael (right side) pooped and make a mess out of it (we didn't feed them in the morning and even let them pooped before starting journey! Still Lapael is a poop machine)... We had to scrub it up later.
Cameron gets very cold at night, it is cooling in the morning and in the afternoon if it doesn't rain the temperature would be just nice. It was rainy when we got there, we get sunshine in the morning and it poured in the afternoon dropping the temperature to cold at night. No worries we are prepared for these things. This is when we arrived, quickly we sent them into nice warm water for a swim! Brought Dona girl girl's favorite rock for her to play and before minutes she was at it. Swimming up and down, in and out of her rock! Raphael just continue swimming and produced more poop!
We fed them in their normal tub (forgot to capture the pics) and served them their favorite romaine lettuce for them to munch and kept them occupied while we cooked dinner in our steamboat pot! Thinking about the steamboat pot makes my mouth water! Lovely. When we are done, we just set them up for the night.
Yes! We brought the heat lamp and also hot pack to keep them warm. Alright I was all maternal instinct ON! I fell asleep to them walking about in the tub loudly and woke up in the middle of the night to check on them and changed their hot pack so that they remain warm! Well nonetheless these kids knew how to make themselves at home. I woke up to find Dona sleeping while Raphael basking full length underneath the light! I was worried about them but thank God, He had made them intelligent creatures and they adapted just fine! When morning came, we let them roamed free in the room because we took the large room and it was just spacious and nice!
Here is Dona doing her Brave Girl roaming. (Towel on the floor to keep them warm) |
Here is Raphael "Lapeal" free-styling in the living hall area. (Raphael: Human! Can I have some privacy to roam please?) |
We let them roamed free in the later part of every morning where there were sunlight but we kept our on eyes on them to make sure they did not get into those spots where we couldn't retrieve them (e.g: underneath the bed or fridge) and also to ensure they do not fight. Thank God they were naughty, cheeky and healthy throughout the trip and I bet they enjoyed it a lot. We arrived home and they have fallen asleep as usual. We have to gently wake them up and carry them back home. Dona threw a fit and refuse to eat but she is back to normal the next day chomping on her pallets and romaine lettuce. As usual Raphael were his normal self as we fed him and put him back into his home. There he is in his tank doing his normal favorite pose the super "turtboy" pose...
Ít's about Love, Food, B.Boys and Turt Kids.. It's tea-time hangout with the boys! Steam "man-tou" and corn! See the steamer at the back! Oh yeah! We bought whole lot more! |
