Melaka Getaway Day 3: Pantai Kelebang & Safari Wonderland A Famosa Resort

Assalamualaikum and hye!

Tak habis lagi cerita Melaka i olls ok! ok.. final one! the third day or the last day in Malacca. We checked out at 10 am and drove down to Kelebang Beach. Kelebang was also part of the places I wanted to go in Malacca.. the main attractions are obviously the Kelebang Coconut Shake and the sand-dunes.. the first time I saw the beautiful view of the sand-dunes was from a video clip by Aman AF. Don't ask me who is he ;p . Luckily my sister and my SIL also had the same gluttony dreams :D.. but not for my dad and my FIL.. they did not find the beach as unique as we did ;p

The route to the sand-dunes is quite challenging if you are not driving a 4WD. You will have to drive on the sand, so be careful not to diverge from the path in front of you, just follow the used routes or else your tyres will get stuck in some soft sand, especially if it's in a bad weather. So, be careful! You also need to walk few distance from where you leave your car.
As soon as we reached the sand-dunes area, my Naeem was hurriedly climbing the peak of it! We were so impressed with his ability and strength. He must be so excited seeing the beautiful sands. Look at him! I was quite worried at first but the place was safe for kids.
 yeayyy... what a wonderful feeling to be up here! My umi was so cute sitting like that haha
 Love this view so much. Looking at this view made me forgot about all the problems in the world...Subhanallah
 Fahri has made his 'man-made' slide...
 Naeem was very brave
 Naeem won the first place!
 Pose of freedom! yeayyyy.. mind the outfit cause they just woke up from sleep at that time.. nasib baik x pening
ok kids.. hurry up..let's go back..it's about to raining!

The final Malacca excitement has came to the end and the final destination was the Safari Wonderland, A Famosa Resort. Yup, we came back since we missed the shows a day before. This time, we managed to watch all the shows.

 the first show was the Wild Wild West, streaming on the actions of cow boys! There were gun-shooting, chasing and clown-hunting from the show. It was fun but IMHO, it was not really suitable for kids.
 The acting was good
 the funny clown!
 
the cast.. well done! Even though it was raining, they managed to complete the show.
 Next, the multi-animal show... It was raining heavily thus it affected the excitement of the whole show.
 the smart beaver was raising our malaysian Flag! So clever!
 The Cat Show... the original catwalk!

The next show was 'The Colour of Birds' Show.
 The parrot as usual was so smart and attentively listened to the instructions.
 Then, we walked around the park...
 hello mr Elephant!
 After a heavy rain, we got into a Safari bus. It was a fun ride!
 We were brought through to the parks existed in Safari Wonderland including the danger zones: the tiger and the lion land. It was really an experience!
 the giraffes and the mousedeers
 There are so much more to show but you gotta to go for yourself!

Overall, it was a fun and meaningful vacation for me and my loved ones. In fact, I got to celebrate my birthday with the people that I care most. Alhamdulillah...

Melaka Getaway Day 2: Archery & Old West Cowboy Town at A Famosa Resort

On Saturday morning, we went to the swimming pool located in our Garden City apartment. We had fun  splashing around the pool. The pool is quite huge and I would say, it is well-maintained.
 It is a nice swimming pool for an apartment
 my mom just love exploring places
 the kids were even more!
 Next, we drove to A Famosa Resort .. It took about 45 km from Bandar Hilir Melaka
 It is a Christmas season, hence the beautiful decorations. BUT, due to traffic jam, we arrived late to the first theme park- Safari Wonderland. So frustrated! We reached there at 4 pm which the safari will close at 5 pm. Huhu...Thus, my husband decided (decide terus takde tanya-tanya dah laki aku) that we come back on the next day before going back to Klang. It was raining heavily that day thus, we went to the archery arena (located outside of the Safari) while waiting for the second theme park- the Old West Cowboy Town which opens at 6 pm.
 My sister was the one who got excited on archery. My sister is truly an adventurous girl!
Rm 15 for 15 arrows.
 My sis was very good!
Contestant no 2: my dad!
 Contestant no 3: my mom! haha steady with baju kurung!
 Contestant no 4: my hubster!
 Contestant no 5: my SIL
 yang ni bukan contestant.. yang ni eksyen lebih
 still waiting, nasib baik berbakat selfie..kalau tak ...hahah
 the boys were well- behaved Alhamdulillah...just abang Fahri vomited a few times in the car
 my macho boys

 the archery arena

Yeayy... it's 6 o'clock! We hurriedly went to the Old West Cowboy Town. The rain has stopped. Just perfect.
 We can't wait to be in the Old West!
 All the guests were given this cowboy hat while entering the town for photo shoot. My dad really looked like a cowboy man with a gun in his hand! yeehaaaa!
 Such pretty receptionist we have here! haha.. So comel these little ponies..
 Thank you for taking pictures with us ponny-monny!
 Goats were all over the places haha

 ok...ready for show time!

 among the shows: Red Indian show, Animal show (chickens were so cute!)
 Wonder Parade Show
 Malaysia Wonder Show
 The overall show was taking about 1 hour and a half. Before ended the show, there was a firework show!
What a lovely night that we had!
