Update 1.. The Melaka Trip - Day 1 and Day 2

Who said Melaka is boring??? Yes, you will get bored if you have no idea what to do.

Apparently, after months of research (yee.. saya agak freak bila bab2 nak travel ni.. saya kena membuat research so that the trip will be good one and value for money!).. i found so many interesting place in Melaka and 4 days 3 nights were not enough... So this was our journey in Melaka

Accomodation: Avillion Legacy, Melaka (only few minutes from town)
Date: 11 Dec - 14 Dec 2009
Participant: Ardi, Me, Anisah, Amil, Aqilah and Mak

Day 1 (Friday, 11 Dec 2009)
Only bertolak from Sepang around 6.30pm.  Ardi have to go to Bintulu or Miri (can't remember) despite dia dah amek cuti on that day.  After picked him up, I went back to my sis place to pick up Mak and others and the barang-barang also.  Then, we straight to Melaka.

Arrived around 8pm (bukan jauh pun). After check-in, straight to the room, get cleaned up.  Alhamdulillah the room was spacious for six of us.  All of us were very hungry and Ardi was still tired over his trip, so we decided to get dinner nearby.  Well, we went for a 5-minutes walk to the nearby KFC.  Tapi the surrounding agak scary sket sbb dah sunyi around 9pm.. So masa jalan tu mmg always watched our back.

Day 2 (Saturday, 12 Dec 2009)

So the day started with a breakfast dekat Ayer Keroh.  We just went to any stall that we can find.  The breakfast okey2 je.  The kids already excited.  We straight to the Zoo Melaka (ooo sudah ada website.. masa research ari tu takde lagi).. which is cheaper than Zoo Negara and i found it much more bigger and exciting.  The animals were more lively.  Aqilah really attached with one of the lemurs.  We arrived there around 10am.. so we managed to catch the Animal Show (which was interesting) and we also managed to catch the Elephant Show.  Sbb tu kena datang awal.. Of course ramai orang (cuti sekolah kan!).. but not that crowded sampai jalan langgar orang. It was so big and we only covered half of the zoo.  Mak already tired of walking.  I just found out that dia sakit lutut and currently on medication.  But proud of her, she still so semangat to jalan-jalan with us!

Anisah rode the poney. We rode the Elephant (without Mak and Amil yang refuse to naik apa2 pun).  They have a Mini Safari in the Zoo and it was really hot in there. Betul2 macam kat tengah2 gurun..We left the Zoo around 4pm.  And everybody was very tired.  Aqilah langsung tak tido in the zoo so masa dalam kereta suma orang termasuk dia flat out (Me and Ardi je tak flat sbb kena jadi drebar and co-pilot).  The only downside was the food sucks big time.

We planned to swim at the pool, but since we were so tired, we have to let that go.  Ingatkan nak gi spa or massage sbb too tired of walking tapi the hotel didn't have that facilities.


After all,  we had a date with Kak Lulu and Abang Mohamad.  After Magrib, we picked them at their  hotel, and we went to the Ikan Bakar place at Sungai Duyong (which is not far from town).  Malas nak gi Umbai, cause after my research, the food mmg nice tapi a bit pricey since dah terlalu terkenal esp with the Singaporean.  Pening jugak jalan dia, tapi my research worth it.  We followed the route recommended by one blogger (setelah puas blog hopping tau!) Sangat ramai orang di tempat tu, but the food was nice, all seven of us (5 adults and 2 kids, aqilah tak masuk).. ate 17 bungkus of nasi lemak.  I only ate half sebab nak ratah the ikan-ikan.  We were bloated when we left the place.  And it was cheap!!  oops.. gambar makanan takde sbb tak sempat.. hehehe

On the way balik, we stuck in the traffic jam (malam tau!!) sbb tersalah ikut jalan.. but at least dapat lar view some places)
