Malacca, Malaysia - 29/09/2011 - Day 2

Highlights of 2nd Day


- Whole morning and afternoon was occupied by Industrial Visit(Suga). I shall skip this part but basically it was an in-depth tour about surface mounting technology. Draggy I must admit.


Night activities:


- Malacca River cruise :          
        A 45 minute cruise along the historic Melaka River.Quite disappointing, I must say. Apart from it lack of historic appeal, the tour was quite brief and commercialized but the night lights and waving 'hi' to random stranger makes up for it.


           Tickets: Adult RM10, Child RM5. Hourly cruise 10AM-11PM daily.


-Taming Sari Revolving Tower:
           A 7 minutes ( 1 for ascending, 5 at peak, 1 for descending) elevated view of Malacca. The breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the historic city and its coastline at night is just mesmerizing. I like  this part of the trip.


            Admission fees for visitors without MyKad: RM20 for adults, RM10 for children below 12 years old, and RM17 for senior citizens above 55 years old. Operates every 30 min on the hour and half-hour, 10AM-11PM daily.


- Supper at A&W.
            What more could I say? After an evening of commercial touring, the best way to end it of is having supper (and alcohol) with your friends.
