Personal Trip 101: Ipoh Family Day – Day 3 Tired Return Home

Ipoh Wall Lighthouse Decoration

It was our third day in Ipoh and we wished we could stay for another day especially since we had come to love our accommodations & the food options in Ipoh. However, we decided to stick to our plan so that we will have one extra day for rest at home before we start the hectic week with work & school. Further, best if we leave whilst the traffic is still light on the highway.

Ipoh Washing Machine Clothes

One of the best things in Ipoh related to the hotel facilities is the free use of the washing machine & the dryers on the rooftop with detergents & softeners provided. This will be a huge advantage for those who are staying for a longer period. We often opt to get our dirty clothes at the 24×7 launderettes – this way we don’t have to bring dirty clothes back home and there will be less effort to wash them at home.

Ipoh Housing Bungalow

The view from the hotel room simply shows how serene & calm Ipoh outside the city center can be. Quite a number of the houses are still based on single-storey designs with a huge surrounding space that can easily accommodate at least 5 cars and this used to be the style of houses we used to have in the Klang Valley in the 1980s.

Perak Ipoh Personal Trip Family Hills

The capital of the state of Perak, Ipoh was one of the options when we decided that it was high time for a proper family trip outside the Klang Valley (the other was Cameron Highlands) as the last family trip that we organized was in June 2022 involving 2 other families. However, we decided to go by ourselves so that it would be easier to book the hotel room and we would be able to visit all the places on time as per our itinerary. Image source: Wikipedia.
