BT Day 1 │ Colmar Tropicale!

A French Resort!

Taken off their website: "Opened in year 2000, Colmar Tropicale is modelled after 16th century Colmar town, north east of Alsace, France, also incorporating architectural designs and elements from ancient surrounding villages of Riquewihr, Turckheim and Kaysersberg.

The resort comprises of 235 rooms and suites with 5 food & beverage outlets, which offers a wide selection of local & international cuisine. Meeting rooms and banqueting facilities are also available in the resort."

We picked you up again after breakfast at Leng's Cafe. We were here a very long time ago during the occasion of my sister Ginny's wedding, and have not been back since.

We arrived at 11:00pm, parked BiBi and headed up to the hotel lobby. We deposited our bags with the hotel's left luggage and were told to come back at one to register.

We then headed out to the main thoroughfare and eventually found ourselves at Starbucks. We ordered a round of drinks for a total of RM79.10 (approximately USD19/EUR16) and spent the next hour and a half here whiling away the time.

We headed back to the hotel lobby at a quarter to one and got ourselves registered. We were eventually issued keys to our rooms at a quarter past two and headed to the Gazania Block. Our rooms were on the second floor, Brendan got the room facing the street while Cat and I got the quieter garden view room.

We paid RM207.36 a room (approximately USD49/EUR42) a night including complimentary breakfast for two persons which in our minds represented good value for money.

We settled into our room, showered and had a nap.

We emerged again at seven in the evening and wandered for a bit before settling on La Poulet Roti for dinner. Turned out the restaurant was on the ground floor of our apartment block.

With a diminutive selection we ordered the Family Feast set which served up:

• a Roasted Half Chicken
• 4 Butter Rice
• Coleslaw
• Wedges
• Fries 
• 4 Orange Chilled Juice

the set was priced at RM120.00, and together with a Café Latte and two Coca-Cola our first dinner in Bukit Tinggi came to RM147.00 (approximately USD35/EUR30).

After dinner we took a stroll to take in the sights before returning to our rooms to retire for the night.

Stay tuned as we have buffet breakfast at Le Blason the next morning!
