Day 1 @ A-Famosa, Malacca (19 Apr 2009)
Posted by 2ma | Posted in Family, Holidays, Shan Leo, Shan Rae |
This trip to A-Famosa was supposed to be the back-up plan to celebrate Shan Rae's 1st birthday. We thought that since there is no party for Shan Rae, we will celebrate it elsewhere. Hence, A-Famosa came into the picture.
We took a slow drive to A-Famosa on a lazy & hot Sunday morning. Once we reached A-Famosa, we head towards Animal World. Sadly that KF & KM can't join us cause they brought along the dog, Kinki. Hence, we went separate ways.
The boys enjoyed the Animal World a lot. But not so much for us. Personally, I find that the Safari ride a little boring. There aren't many animals too see, and those animals that we see are too lazy to move. Anyway, after the 15 minutes Safari ride, we took a short break for a quick snack before we run for the Cowboy show, Multi-Animal show, Bird show and finally the Elephant show. It was back-to-back, and we have to move fast from one show to the next show.
All the shows are ok except that the sound system is a little poor. I could hardly hear what the emcee says. Besides all the shows, we even took an elephant ride. The park closes at 5pm, and we didn't have time to cover the Monkey Island and other places after all the shows. In the evening, we went to the Cowboy town. And the highlight of the night was the fireworks show. That was the best of all for the day. We had an up close view of the fireworks. Lovely!
Here are some photos of the day. P/s: I couldn't load the pictures in Slide. Hence, I only picked these few pictures.
A picture of daddy & Shan Rae feeding the parrots. All the parrots came looking for food, and hence, Shan Rae gets to feed the parrots.
Here we are enjoying the shows...
We even took some pictures with the cast from the Cowboy show. Both the boys are busy looking at the Red Indian, and we have a tough time getting them to look at the camera *sigh*
Shan Leo enjoying his pony ride. He just love it! And he looked so cute riding the pony.
Back at the villa, Shan Leo enjoy a quick "swim" in the pool. And this is a photo of Shan Rae, an hour before we leave the Animal World. He was so tired! And the weather was so hot that we have to strip him down to his diapers only!
