Last weekend was a blast for everyone. Another one of Daddy's getaways and this time around it was to Melaka, the historical city of Malaysia. We went to the A'Famosa Resort. Packing started a day earlier and the boot was filled to the rim.
70% of the stuff was mine. I needed my mattress, bolster and not forgetting my mobile play pen. The journey was a good 2 hours so I spent most of the time sleeping.
Check in was at 4pm so we went straight to the Animal World. The setup was very impressive. This is their main entrance.
Gateway to the Safari world.
Now the trick at these places is that they give you an unbeatable price for the package. Once you get in, every little thing costs you money.A photo with the tiger is RM15. You can't use your own camera so daddy had to use me as his shield to take this.
Feeding the elephant with little sugar canes pieces, RM4. To get this shot, Grandpa had to purchase for 3 rounds of feeding, these guys were very quick.
They had a number of animal shows, I didn't really like the bird and the multi animal show. The parrot show was ok, they exercised in their mini gym and did some neat stuff.
The orang utans painted and did some somersault. Impressive primates.
I was all eyes at the elephant show. This was the best.
I don't know how they manage to train these humongous mammals to perform fantastics tricks. They danced, played football, basketball, sat on a stool and what impressed me the most was that ... they can paint.
It was not bad for an elephant. At the end of the show, the audience actually bought these masterpieces. Another trick by the management. It was RM10 a piece. Right next to the show area was the Chicken Farm.
I wanted to jump right in and grab them. Cute.
Among the animals kept in captivity for public viewing was the majestic Black Hawk Eagle. All the animals were trying their best to gain the visitors attention, except these birds of prey.
After all the walking we drove down to the nearest town to have our lunch, I didn't feel to good so didn't have anything solid. We decided to head to the room to relax there.
The evening activity was down at the Wild West Town.
This place is all about horses and cowboys. I never got on a real one but they had the Merry Go Round. It's nothing like the one at Metro Prima, that's a pony ride. These are wild stallions.
It was a Sunday night so I guess that's why there was very little people around.
We had the whole ride to ourselves.
The night ended with a big bang as there were fireworks display as part of their daily feature. It was quite a sight from where we were.
We left the next day but like all holidays there's always ups and downs, Grandma lost her duffel bag with some valuable items in them. That took all the cheer away.
