What a tiring but exciting weekend! This was the most brief visit we ever made to Kuala Terengganu, 2 days, 1 night, and most hours on the road... Alfa Romeo Owners' Club Klang Valley (AROCKV) had organised many tours, but this year's tour to Kuala Terengganu received most responses, more than 30 Alfas participated.
This is the 2nd (AROCKV-organised) tour that we participated in, after the Anniversary Tour to Mersing in November 2007. We (me, hubby n ammar) went with our (new) 164 Super. We got the car the night before, so it's our first attempt to test it (that's why i wasn't allowed to conquer the driver's seat yet). The girls didnt follow us, they had school sports day (they're minded by my sister).
Our first meeting point was at Genting Sempah. Saturday 5th April, 7am. Very cool and foggy morning. It took us quite a while to gather about 20 cars.
We made our move after breakfast, nearly 9am.
While enjoying the power of our cars, we tried (at our best) not to violate traffic rules and regulations.... including keeping to (our) speed limits and not overtaking at double lines...
Next stop is at Gambang R&R. We had our nescafe tarik. Ammar had his bath.
We proceed ahead to meet the Johor group at Kuantan layby and later had lunch at Cherating.
After a few stops waiting for cars to keep up with the convoy, we finally reached Batu Burok Beach Resort around 5pm. Drivers took their break in the rooms while wives attend kids at the pool.
Buffet dinner at was at 8.30pm, where i found ikang kembong celup tepong cicoh air lada and pucuk jambu golok cicoh budu. Yumyum... The young ones (and old young ones) had karaoke after dinner, but we (old ones..) decided to taste the new city air and view its fascinating lights (this is our first visit since KT was declared a city). That night i dreamed eating the best keropok lekor ever, those with more fish, not more sago, like what we have here in KL. Mmmmarvelous....
