Melaka - Maritime Museum

After we went to the Taming Sari Tower we went back to our "temporary house" at Bukit Cina.. It was around 11pm.. After taking bath, I just went to sleep z.z.z.zz.z.z....

Wake up early in the morning, around 6 am... After pray and take a bath, I just looked around Bukit Cina from my house balcony.. What did I see?? Since it was called Bukit Cina, so the only things that exist was a hill full of Chinese graveyard... hehe.. For Chinese, if they placed their grave at the top of hill, they will gain a great "after life"... Believe it or not??


After having fried rice( I bought it at the stall behind... only rm2 plus one fried egg.. the prize is ok right??) , we then when back to Bandar Hilir just to look around Malacca from the car view.. Suprisingly, It was not jam!! Why?? Maybe because everybody busy at work since it was Monday morning plus mybe most of tourist had gone home.. Haha.. Actually, this morning we planned to go to the Maritime Museum which was next to the Taming Sari Tower..

We parked at the front of the tower, of course need to pay for 60cent per hour... Cheap right?.. Then we walked to the museum.. What interesting about the museum was the shape of the museum which take from a ship.. A very large ship!!



The ticket for entry was RM3 for adult and RM1 if you are still students... Opss! You need to take out you shoes when you enter inside the ship.. Hehe.. What was inside here? Of course since the name was Maritime Museum, so everthing was about maritime.. When you entered, there were a video presentation about the history of Malacca maritime, but I am not really interested because everything you have learned when we were taking History subject at the secondary school..

After following the stair to the below, you will see many replica of ships from the history and from many country such as China (they called it Jong), India, Portugese, Dutch, British, Malacca of sourse and many more.. They were also illustrated pictures here, some old money, everything was about maritime!! Just looked at the picture below...


another pictures...


and the pictures from the top of the Museum...


By entering this Museum, it makes me remember of Pirates of The Carribean movie... Haha.. And also one of my favourite anime - One Piece.. Gomu gomu no!!! There are 2nd Maritime Museum next to this ship museum where here also lots of history about maritime in Malacca or Tanah Melayu (Malay Land)... At the front of the museum you can saw a Craft Center where here they sold many sourvenior for you to take home.. Next to it was a Navy Museum ) Muzium Tentera Laut).. But, we did not enter here... Maybe next time if there are time.. Hehe...


Next stop which our last stop was Malacca Zoo... I will continue later...
