Family : Malacca, May 2011

I was an invited speaker (again) for a course at Puteri Resort Ayer Keroh, Malacca. We stayed at the same resort. Spacious room. For the first time, I did not capture photos of our room. I only have photos of our kids playing around with cloth hangers in the room. They enjoy hitting each other with that. All the time.

It was rather a challenging trip because Nazran was having a diarrhoea and Nabil was having a fever. Both of them threw up practically everywhere. And we have to change Nazran's soiled diapers at almost every stop (or was it twice at every stop?). Nazreen was behaving like usual. Falling asleep anywhere he likes.

Anyway, we have experienced three modes of transportation in Malacca (if sitting on a deck of Menara Taming Sari is considered as air transportation...LOL). They are unique. And you could get those three ONLY in Malacca.

Water - River Cruise

Adult - RM10. Children RM-5.

My teaching session ended at 9.30pm and I finished preparing my kids for the cruise at 10.30pm. The last cruise will depart at 11pm. We arrived at 10.51pm and I ran frantically to the ticket counter. You don't want your kids to be frustrated, do you? Papa's camera was out of battery. We only captured a couple of photos at the entrance while we were happily chasing a kitten.

Land - Trishaw, of course!

RM20 for 20-25 minutes ride around Malacca city (4 stops - the pakcik needs a rest too!)

Despite having a fever, Nabil really determine to ride a trishaw on sunny afternoon. We rented two heavily decorated trishaws and Alhamdulillah Nazran was fine along the journey.

Air - Menara Taming Sari

Adult - RM10. Children above 2yo - RM5.

110m revolving Gyro tower with 66 passangers capacity on its wide deck. It goes up and down and revolves at the same time. The whole experience took about 7 minutes.

One more thing... You need to buy parking tickets to park your car in Malacca city. It is RM6 for 10 tickets. 1 ticket worth RM0.60 for one hour. Failed to do so, you will be fine RM30.
