Toddling @ Melaka ... Again!

Roughly a year after the Kepong Baru Community center day trip to the historical city (Melaka 2011), I made a follow-up trip this Chinese New Year with my uncle's family.
The plan started on well executed departure & good travel time within the reduced precautionary speed limit promising a fun frolic day but the events unfolded very differently.
We revisited the same attractions and places of interest yet again and I for one made some startling new discoveries at the Bee Museum.
Upon closer inspection at the layout of the Malaysian map, it seems to be made out of bees!
The cruise down Melaka river was as interesting as it was the last round with a seemingly gloomy weather which made it a pleasantly cool ride.
With the recent furor questioning the very existence of the local folk lore heroes makes us wonder if a name change for this bridge is inevitable. This was pretty much all that we enjoyed as the weather after lunch ended all outdoor activity and not to mention the influx of KLites making it near impossible to find a decent parking spot. 
With a sour face leading back to KL, an exciting discovery was made. The photo above is courtesy of the Melaka Toy Museum Blog (http://melakatoymuseum.blogspot.com/). I didn't get a chance to go in but the Hulk sure made it a must visit the next time around.
