We exited at Merlimau in Melaka and drove to Umbai to have our dinner at the Medan Ikan Bakar Umbai. It was still raining when we reached the venue. We head straight to the stall where hubby and I use to eat ikan bakar. This stall served delicious ikan bakar and we were impressed with their sotong goring sambal.
After our makan, we drove into Melaka town looking for a place to stay the night. We found one new hotel called The Explorer just beside Mahkota Parade.
From my room, I could view the car park at Mahkota Parade and the Hatten Hotel. My children's room was just next door. After we had our prayers, hubby and I went across the road and visited Menara Taming Sari.
Menara Taming Sari is the first revolving gyro tower in Malaysia. Printed on the postcard, which we received for free when we purchased the tickets, was as follows:-
"Menara Taming Sari is a 360 degree viewing tower, was designed with inspiration from Keris Taming Sari, a legendary Malay dagger. Standing at 120 meters high and capacity of 66 passengers, it promises an exciting viewing experience of Malacca city and UNESCO Historical Site nearby."
When we purchased the tickets, we were given a packet of chrysanthemum tea and two Taming Sari postcards. Then we had to queue before boarding the Taming Sari. We had a beautiful view of the Melaka town and also the Melaka river when the Taming Sari revolve slowly all the way up and then down again. Perhaps next time, we board the Taming Sari during the day and view the Straits of Melaka from above...
Hubby and I then walked to the Melaka River and sat on one of the benches at the quay, holding hands....(wahhh...so lomantik). We felt as though we were in Venice (we were there in 2003 when we toured Italy). Suddenly our children took us by surprise by hugging us from behind. I wanted to ride on the Ferry along the Melaka River, but hubby said nothing to see at night, so better ride during the day.
The children wanted to go to Jonker Street and wanted us to come along. We declined because we wanted to just sit at the quay and enjoy the night air.....It was almost midnight when we returned to the hotel.
