melako (malacca) trip

it was an ad-hoc trip for me..since x dek orang nk kerja weekend tu kt opis n maknya g dah buat arrangement awal dgn anak2 je since ada gathering kolokium ke apa kt UTEM mako saya n semua anak2 yg masih bercuti, yg cuti sekolah la n yg kerja mmg cuti..lpas anto maknya maka merayau kami 6 beranak ke bandar melaka..setakat a'famosa ke bukit st paul ke tu mmg dah kerap..so kmi target few attractions lain esp muzium..

dari pkol 9 lebih kt UTEM lpas round2 sikit kampus yg belah2 luar dari fakulti teknologi maklumat dan telekomunikasi kmi belah beredar ke bandor melako

berpandukan waze ingat nk senang tpi kkdg kmi berpusing2 jugak  bila kekadang terslah masuk lane wat not..kiro2 sampai awal la jugo..so ingat nk paking tepi jln but nk cari kupon pun satu hal so g parking yg blkang balai polis sebelah samudera ke apa tu setakt rm2 per-entry mmg berbaloi compare dgn 60sen sejam pakai kupon..

bangunan pusat pelancongan melaka (klu x silap..maap sbb x bawa buku nota)

terus tuju tepi sungai..lalu nmpak ni hotel iaitu hotel casa del rio..x tahu sgt apa yg istimewa but katanya rate dia sampai ada hingga rm1300/night..mak enko..

ni hotel yg kt warehouse kastam yg kmi singgah esok harinya di cafe dia nama HALIA..asalnya nk minum kopi je tapi langsung lapar terus amek lunch..nice simple innocent design..that goes to the HALIA cafe design itself..tpi sayang i did not take any shot during the lunch just nk makan je n smpat nap while waiting for the food to arrive...
ke depan sikit is this wheel..x pasti apa namo dio..
ni ada 3 in 1..old fort wall, the wheel, the hotel but could have been 4 if only there was this river cruise boat..
i noticed this part at the old fort where there was no barrier which could make people fell if not careful..just wonder what is the authority doing when the visitor centre (first pix above n can be seen in the background) was just next to this place..
we then moved in-ward to the familiar n wat not buildings along the road..i think stadthuys..people were coming n piling up the plaza..a family must be from eastern europe looking at the face but bertudung..thought they were local but bilo dgr cakap not our local language..
if only i could do a slow shutter n d sky is blue in the background..it would be perfect..
colourful umbrella n cow boy hats..among the souvenirs sold at and around the plaza..this is among a few places that are happening may be other than in-front of a'famosa and jonker street

where the beca@trishaw waited for clients..i never tried n would one day..going around the town..not so sure what is the charge like..
penat berjalan apa kata kita pekena cendol..macam2 perasa ada dari yg biasa, campur even durian..hard rock cafe pun x lupa pergi..lepas ni masa jalan2 kt jonker walk..esok ulang lagi utk emaknya cari benda dia nak yow..
ni people queueing for nasi ayam ball..

sempat g masjid selat sat..second time here but for solat maghrib only this time..lagi pun sunset tak nmpak bec of thick cloud besides if ada pun it was way far on the left of the building being in december as compare to if u were here in may where the sun would be setting just at the left deck..
lalang is everywhere here at pulau melaka..reclaim island but quite unsuccesful for the time being..

we shot to ikan bakar place right after from masjid selat...the first stop was umbai but the place was seen packed and the cars were not moving at first but actually they were parking by the road side but we turn for another place..we missed only to realise the terapong one when on the way back..only to notice the signboard was so small or we just missed it because of the dark night..we went to serkam instead not to wonder further..lucky unless we would be in muar..

coming back to our hotel from serkam was just another experience..saturday night at 11pm the town was pack with cars..slow moving n missing the junction we had to take another 2.8km to reach our hotel back when it was only about 100m from the last junction..haiyyaa..

second day that sunday mulanya dari taming sari ride to melaka river cruise..no shot ye..


..BYE BYE molako..
..nnti jumpo lagi..
tapi
..tak tau bilo tu..
