Bend, Day 2

It has been a while. I haven't really have the luxury of time to write about wbout our trip in Oregon. Padahal the family has gone back home for about 2 weeks.
On the second day in Bend, I started with cooking a lot of food; nasi lemak, nasi goreng etc. We were planning to drive to Portland and spend the night over there. Around 9:30 AM we hit the road, drove about 30 mins to get to Smith Rock, Redmond. It's an outdoor place where people do rock climbing, hiking, or simply to rilex and enjoy the sun. When we got there we saw 4 people climbing up the rocks. Ayah was so amazed looking at them. He kept talking about the 4 climbers all day long phew. If you look at the picture on the right you can see the 2 climbers in the red circle.

Dah puas hiking and wandering around, kitaorg pun started our way to The Dalles. There is nothing much to do there but its a start point of a beautiful road called Columbia River Gorge. I've never been to this place, and was hoping to see some miracle. Huahuaa...After 3 hours of driving, sume muka dah lapar je. Nasib baik ade bawak nasi lemak. Tapi yg terkejutnye pagi tadi masak nasi lemak 3 pot je, sbb ingat ade 3 pot of nasi goreng. Rupa2nya ramai yg makan nasi goreng pagi tadi, so only 1 small tuppurware of nasi goreng left. Zuhri and I dah agak cuak, we were thinking of stopping by at any chinese restaurant and buy some rice. hauhau.. but we finally stopped at a scenic point 'Rowena Crest'. It has a superb view! Took picures and touring sket2. Pastu makan lunch kat dlm van on top of Rowena Crest. Hahaha..the view was nice tapi tak enjoy la makan sbb tak comfortable. On the right is gambar auntie on top of Rowena.

Driving along Columbia River Gorge was fun. There are a lot of waterfalls and scenic point. We stopped at couple of waterfalls, and the most famous one is Multnomah Falls. I felt a little weird taking them to see waterfalls since they just went to Niagra Falls few days before, the biggest fall in the states. LOL the falls in Oregon are definitely nothing compared to Niagra Fall, but waht the heck. Below is a picture at Multnomah Fall. I was suprised looking at this pic, so beautifullll...I never thought that I could take such a breath taking picture with my cheap lousy canon camera. Hahahah..angkat bakul sendiri jela. But seriously, Im amazed.

About 7 PM we checked in at a Motel, Best American Inn. We rented a 2 bedroom w/1 kitchen suite for the whole family. All ladies tido kat bilik with 2 Queen beds, I brought my air bed too. Ayah and abag slept in another room. Kesian sbb diaorg takde aircon. Anyway I wanted to make this writing short tapi mcm banyak pulak nak tulis. phew..

On the 3rd day, kitaorg tak banyak buat ape. Pagi2 bagun breakfast then made our way to Sauvie Island, Portland. Pegi Kruger's farm for strawberry picking. Mak really enjoyed the trip. Auntie said, mak has been dreaming about strawberry picking since forever. Weird..I thought we can pick strawberry even in Malaysia, Cameron Higlands perhaps? About 12 PM pegi makan kat Halal food in Tigard. Sodappp sungguuuhhh. I love Mid eastern food. Pastu pegi shopping kat Woodburn outlet. Enjoy the pics
