How did we end up at Port Dickson? Well, I saw the pictures on my friend's facebook. The place seemed rather cool, hence contacted my friend for information. I checked out the website that was given, but find that it is a bit expensive for a 2D1N trip to Malaysia. However it is a place that I like to visit for a weekend get-away.
I saw an online deal where my friend stayed during his trip to Port Dickson. The price from the online deal was much cheaper than the price from the official hotel website. In addition, the price quoted included buffet breakfast and 2-way VIP coach. Beside taking the risk to purchase such online deal, the other reason was that we were too busy to make separate arrangement for hotel booking and 2-way coach services.
The deal was purchased from
Deal.com.sg for SGD98 that tied up with merchant
Gel Travel. The packaged tour if purchase directly from Gel Travel will cost SGD119. The price is definately cheaper than booking direct from the hotel. If you are interested to get such cheap deal, do look out for the deal from Deal.com.sg, as they may have the deal again.

The coach journey is about 5 to 6 hours depending on how much time is taken up at custom, lunch, p-stop point and how co-operative are the passengers in the coach. The journey back from Port Dickson is much faster, since there is no lunch break. Take naps and read a book, and your destination is reached.
The picture on the right, was where we had lunch and toilet break. You can do some shopping here.
