Melaka has been a favourite holiday destination for us since it's closer to KL and there's so much to experience in the historic town. Last weekend was a first for us ... a day trip. The neighbourhood community center organized this trip to foster good ties among the residents. It might have worked with the adults but it was lacking 'youngsters' for me to click with.
The trip took off with a 'sting' at the World Bee Museum.
Thank God it was the dead put on display. Wasn't my cup of tea but I did enjoy a cup of honey... ;-)
A hit among kids and this was the only section of the exhibit that had people crowding all around.
Next was the famous Melaka River cruise. It was such an enjoyable journey it reminded me of my cruise down the Yarra river in Melbourne, Australia. They do look quite the same if it wasn't for the coconut tree seen on the right giving away Melaka river's identity.
The banks were well decorated and wonderful setups were put in place for tourists and locals to enjoy both the view and get a good look at what else is being offered here.
After lunch, we made our way to the Taming Sari Tower. All the building had was souvenir's on sale but the star was the white pole on the right. For 20 ringgit per person, you get quite an experience.
What experience? ... it's a must for everyone going to Melaka. (http://www.menaratamingsari.com)
An hour before leaving to KL, we were dropped of at the Jonker Walk for some good old fashion market style shopping. Got loads of goodies and a toy or 2 for me ... Tiring trip but super enjoyment.
Next stop was the famous Portuguese Settlement. The beautiful view and fantastic sea breeze was awesome.
