Salam 1Malaysia. I like to use Melaka rather than Malacca because I'm proud to be malay person. Ok.. I wanna continue our journey to Melaka. After check in the hotel room, we proceed with "ronda2 Bandaraya Bersejarah Melaka". Go to bandar melaka by follow signboard. Then we found a lot of beautiful scenery by historical building along way to Bandaraya Melaka. There was beautiful red coloured old looks building along that way.
The "Big Ship" welcomed us
Suddenly saw the "Melaka Cruise" signboard. We decided to have that cruise and proceed with park our car at parking lot by pay RM2.00 to Indian parking keeper (
suddenly coming after I finished park our car). At the parking lot, there were some trishaw rider offered us to have "ronda2" using
trishaw service. We ignored it but they also inform about Melaka Cruise services. They ask us to have that cruise service in the late evening because at that time, the panorama is very beautiful with lamp. Ok Thanks to
pakcik told us about that. So, we went to
Muzium Samudera which is located infront of parking lot. Many times I came to Melaka & didn't have chance to visit Muzium Samudera. Just hoping before. But this time, we go there together. Muzium Samudera is the looks like big
ship replica. Just pay RM 3.00 per person per entry. There are a lot of information inside the museum. All about the relationship Melaka history and the shipping activity. Also a lot ship replicas inside very beautiful.

After finish visit the museum, we went to Dataran Pahlawan which is located in Banda Hilir. So, you know what? This time my wife very happy because Dataran Pahlawan was also shopping complex. Just window shopping first inside the building. My wife search the suitable souviner to her student & friend. Me? We also not forget to visit Heritage Gallery inside the building to found out some suitable give to our parents. Very tired walk around inside this building because so big & long building.

Lately in the evening, we went back to
Taman Rempah at Bandaraya Melaka to have
Melaka Cruise. Got the strategic parking nearby the entry (
free parking because already night). Go to counter & pay RM20.00 for 2 person ride. Saw a lot people at waiting area that time. We still have around 10 minutes before the boat depart. We walk around the shop at the jetty & bought some junkfood because we already start hungry. Queue before go to boat & we got the strategic place in the boat to have beautiful scenery. The boat depart but frankly speaking I'm dispointed because there was a group of 4
auw..auw.. person conquer infront of boat. All of them stand up & block us to have beautiful panoramatic. Also the boat driver didn't give explanation along the boat cruise. Only hear some song from live broadcast. We also try to feel more enjoyed ourself along the boat journey. Take our picture with beautiful lighting panorama background. We just "agak2" which
Kampung Tradisional Morten, Kincir air, Mini Ferris wheel, and so on. The coloured lighting along sungai Melaka very attractive. All building where equipped with the light. So it produced
romantic panorama with mix of old looks & also modern style building. Its so beautiful. But the smell of river not good but I believe it will improve soon. The journey of Melaka Cruise takes around 1 hour.

After that, we wish to have our dinner with seafood at Medan Ikan Bakar Alai. So, we use GPS service (thanks to my luvly Nokia E66) because we not familiar with the Melaka road. In addtion, that is the first time we used to Alai Area. I drove just following direction in GPS and arrive there around 10 P.M. So, we chose Seri Muara Alai Restaurant which is recommended by forumer. The parking bay full while we arrive means the restaurant was crowded by people. After got park our car, went to restaurant & saw a lot people queue up to choose the seafood. We just choose some prawn, crab & seashell. They send a bucket of nasi lemak which is consist of 5 nasi lemak & special spicy sour ketchup to dip with grilled seafood. We prefer the butter prawn, stir fried seashell with chilly paste & also the black pepper crabs. Also try the unique eating style here which is ate ordered food with Nasi Lemak. So delicious. The price state in bill made me shock because very reasonable & very..very..very cheap compare to Senibong, JB.
