Another learning experience


This is another learning curve for Maximus... Having a river cruise in the boat!
During the 3rd day of CNY, we brought Maximus for a night tour around Melaka to enjoy the red-lantern street at Jonker street and Jalan Kota (Stadhuys Building and Malacca River) area. We took the opportunity to "enjoy" the Melaka river cruise. That river was once upon a time the international trading place! So we want to have a feel on our "international" trading port...
Obviously being a Malaccan, I would say that it's really-really boring! But putting myself into the tourist or a non-Malacca, it's just alright! Moreover, nothing to loose since the fare is reasonably cheap. - Adult RM 10 and Children from 2 years old RM 5
The river is 4.5 km and the duration of the cruise is 45 minutes...
However, we got bored after 15 minutes of the ride... Eventually Maximus fell asleep then after whinning for so long.

However, it's a good learning curve for Maximus as he experienced the water current when the boat propeller moves in the water. He had a close observation at the water and also experienced the breeze... There are nothing much to watch along the river... the only attraction is the musical fountain and Maximus likes that.
