We have travelled by car (mostly) and few times by airplanes, but I'd rather say by train is the best! We went back to Kelantan last week for Iyra's aqiqah by Senandung Wau. It took us almost 12 hours to reach Wakaf Bharu and we found some we love it/ hate it things happening.
What We Love
~On a budget-it is only RM200 for an air-conditioned coach; complete with a bunk bed, a sink and a chair.
~Everyone have their freedom. Mummy can sleep, Bapak can eat, Iris can read, Iesha can jump-run-hop-eat-scream-jump-hop-eat-play with water-jump-scream-cry-eat-eat-sleep, and baby Iyra can be breastfed comfortably.
~Bapak and Mummy wouldn't argue over where to stop to change diapers, where to eat, where to pray, what to do when everyone wanted to have their own lullaby all at once. And that's why travelling by car surely emotionally and physically tiring, but not by train!
~We all can have our 12 hours beauty sleep all at once. Yes, we still need to share bed.
What We Hate
~A 12 hours journey with a bladder always full. Well, if only I didn't have to go to the toilet.
~Repeated questions by Iris that drove me crazy "Mummy kenapa hutan aje?"
~Train-lag: I have vomited 2 times, I wonder how the girls can stand the sway.
With a family of five, travelling by train is the best. We can't wait to visit Tok Kedah with Senandung Mutiara. With Senandung Mutiara, it's a dream come true-a toilet attached to the coach!
