visit my beautiful country

Yesterday my family and I visiting my aunt in Malaka. She's not feeling well. While having our lunch eventually at 4.oopm, my husband speak his mind that blowing all off our mind, "I never visit Melaka before...." ----silents----(all startled by his mind blowing statement hahaha.) Then my uncle start's to speak, he ask his son which is technically my cousin Badrul to take us to the Melaka Town where everything is SO THERE.













First we going to the Maritime Museum. The museum was constructed after " Flor De La Mar", the Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of Melaka on its way to Portugal. With its hull laden with invaluable treasures seized from Melaka, the ship was doomed from existence had it not been for the efforts to revive its symbolic significance to Melaka's heritage. At the museum, visitors can get a closer look at Melaka from the famed Melaka Sultanate of the 14th Century to the periods of colonization by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. There are exhibits of foreign ships that had once called at the Port of Melaka during the height of its maritime hegemony.

Then we take a tour on a river. The Melaka River Cruise. The river was the main artery of trade for Melaka in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world. Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages, or kampungs, and modern day buildings.
The 45-minute cruise is accompanied by an entertaining and informative commentary. And for just RM10 for adult and RM5 for children, it's a good bargain. See parts of historical Melaka, get a history lesson for next to nothing, and never break a sweat!
