Dear Gabriel,
We went to Taiping for a 2D1N trip. First stop was the zoo. We took the train ride as we won’t get too tired walking all the way. During this trip you saw a baby elephant taking a bath. It was as playful as you during your bath time, splashing water all over the place!

After the zoo visit, we went for lunch. Unfortunately the Piano Cafe was not open. We had lunch at the coffee shop on the opposite side instead. We told you that the uncle at Piano Cafe had to go to market to buy fruits to make juice for you. You were quite disappointed. Later we walked over to the Piano Cafe and found out that someone else has taken over the cafe. So, goodbye to good ol’ Piano Cafe. Will miss the nice food, drinks and ambiance.
Then we decided to find a hotel to rest for the afternoon. We inquired from 5 or 6 hotels until we almost gave up. Finally we found a room at Meridian Hotel. You liked the hotel room so much until you didn’t want to go out for dinner!
We went to Taiping Sentral for shopping and dinner. You enjoyed eating Kenny Rogers’ chicken, using the fork and knife by yourself. We met up with Poh-Poh, Gung-Gung, Suk-Poh, Suk-Gung and Yi-Yi.
We brought you to the Taiping Fire & Rescue Department to look at the fire engines and super bikes. You even tried to climb the ladder.

Since it was still early, we thought we might be able to make a trip to Maxwell Hill by jeep. Again we were let down as the jeep was fully booked already.
So we went for a walk in Taiping Lake Gardens and to play the giant slide. We all had fun on the slide. You didn’t like Mummy and Papa to slide down with you and insisted to slide down by yourself.
Mummy, I want to slide down by myself!
Ahhhh! Here I come!

We left Taiping after lunch with nice memories. On the way home you still said you wanted to go back to the hotel…
