Weekend outing at Bagan Lalang

It's been some 10 months since we last went to Bagan Lalang and since Yiu Yiu's art class on Saturday was canceled, we decided to make a trip there. We started with a late seafood lunch at Ocean Restaurant at Tanjung Sepat, our regular haunt whenever we go there. It's located just beside the famous Lover's Bridge, so we didn't miss the opportunity to take some shots there as well.

We then proceeded to the Bagan Lalang Beach, and it was almost 3.30pm then. It was low tide and the beach stretches out as far as the eyes can see. Since there wasn't any water, Yiu Yiu was contented with flying kites and playing with sand. We forgot to bring along her sand toys, and she fussed a little about it, but all is promptly forgotten the moment she sat on the beach and started digging with her bare hands. I didn't quite notice it before but the sand at Bagan Lalang beach is so powdery fine. Hubby practised his photography skills using the Canon 450D, while I was also clicking away with my Olympus compact.

She finally couldn't resist and asked to walk further out to where patches of water could be seen.

Finally, I can splash some water

Along the way, we saw so many tiny crabs and snails.



After washing her down with bottles of water that we brought, we left at about 5pm. Next time, we should make a point to go there before noon, when the tide is high so at least she gets to play in the water. Anyway, this will probably be our last family outing as a threesome (not literally though as mum came along) before she has a mei-mei joining her in these outings.
