“No matter where you go, there you are…” – Buckaroo Bonzai
After a hard day’s work at the kebun we drove to Melaka town for a romantic river cruise.
The 45-minute cruise was accompanied by an entertaining oldies but I wish that they put in some recorded informative commentary as well. The RM10 ticket was a good bargain. We could see parts of historical Melaka with some buildings since the Portuguese era still stand majestically by the river. Some parts of the river banks are also lined with brightly decorated Melaka malay houses.

ReplyDeleteKak Nong...anie ni asal orang Melaka...selalu balik Melaka...paling kurang pun 1 bulan sekali balik...tapi tak pernah berkesempatan untuk naik cruise tu pun...
ReplyDeleteSeronok nampaknya perjalanan bot tu menyusuri sungai Melaka ye kak...mesti diorang lalu kat Kg Baru Melaka...
maklang,
ReplyDeleteNak hilang kan penat tu... Lagi pulak malam tu macam ada pesta, live show sana sini. Meriah dan berwarna warni kat tepi sungai tu.

aNIe,
Kak nong pun orang melaka gak. Hanya baru2 ni selalu balik jenguk mak abah yang dah uzur.
Memang seronok, dan setanding dengan river cruise kat overseas tu. Tinggal orang kita kena belajar untuk tingkatkan sikit service dan quality... Cuba lah sekali...
Aah, nyaman dan romantisnya!
ReplyDeleteBunga Rampai,
ReplyDeleteOpen air night cruise nyaman dan romantik. Cuaca pun tak berapa panas.
Maybe kalau siang mungkin hangat dan berpeluh jugak dibuat nye. Kena suggest boat air-con with glass-top macam kat paris tu....
Salam Nong,any type of river cruising is a romantic thing to do.My last one was 28 yrs ago,cruising along the Rhine river from morning to dusk.but my dream now is to go on a long cruise mcm dlm love boat tu ..
ReplyDeletezino dah naik boat tu dua tiga bulan yg lepas.. memang seronok.. yg tak seronok tu menunggu giliran.. agak lama hehe
ReplyDeleteMadam Gold,
ReplyDeleteWe were on the Rhine river cruise in 2003 passing thru' Rheingau Valley where the river twists and turns past ruined castles and the Loreley rocks. Visited Riesling vineyards too....
A long cruise mcm dlm love boat tu good idea for honeymoon he he ...

Zino,
Betul tu. Hari tu masa nak naik cruise tu kitaorang pun dah nearly nak give-up tengok system ticketing yang kelam-kabut.
They should think of ways to make it more efficient...
It was way back in 1985 during my backpacking days,i didnt remember the places but yeah I passed the ruined castle ,the twists and turns.For now I think I dont have the energy to do it anymore..except for leisure cruises
ReplyDeletebestnya naik cruise. You could really seize the little time you have and make the best of it, yeah:)
ReplyDeleteSalam Hazia,
ReplyDeleteTumpang lalu ya Nong..bukan tak nak p cruise lagi,tapi there are other priorities like kids education,my dream farm house on acres of rolling hills,retirement plan etc..all I have now beautiful memories of yesteryears..cukup lah.
Hazia,
ReplyDeleteSo far we have only taken a full day boat cruise je. Wish I have the time for a longer cruise to nowhere.
Masa the kids were small, long time ago, ada naik Ferry Malaysia from P Klang - Singapore - Kuching - K Kinabalu then back to Kuantan. Small Boat je, so most of us mabuk laut!

Madam,
Bila dah retire and free of all resonsibilities and liabilities, boleh go for relaxing holidays sekali sekala...
Most prob kita ni jiran kat kebun nanti, because mine is about 2-3 km from Kesang Tasik tu...
