Melaka trip 2018 - Part 1

As JE kept reminding, this was our FIRST trip this year.  The first 2018 school holiday, hubby went off somewhere with his friends.  Ditto for the second school holiday plus SE's school was closed a couple of weeks for chicken-pox and there were replacement classes during the holiday.  Poor kiddos only got to go somewhere this third holiday (warned hubby earlier that our maid was not going to be around, don't go off holiday by yourself!).  To be fair to him, hubby's trips were sponsored by the company he was attached to.  The recent one was 2 weeks in the Balkans and I'd agreed it'd be a waste to skip that.

First we took kakak to the airport.  The kids enjoyed that and SE wanted to help with her luggage too - all 25kgs of it!  Pried her hands off and next she wanted to help with the passport/documents.  Gahh... kids.

Then, we were off to Melaka!  First stop was Baba Charlie for kuih.  The small space there is full of people who came for this exact purpose since there isn't anywhere to sit nor any view to admire.  Expensive overall and probably over-rated, but I liked the onde-onde and curry-puffs.

Busy-busy aunties are behind me

Then we checked into our room.  Took the chance to get a family room since we didn't need a separate room for kakak this time.

Our holiday home sweet home!

This place, The Shore Residences has a great kiddy water park.  Even I liked this place... and was a bit scared going down the slides haha.

Come and play!

Ready set go!

Like our mushroom shower?

Last one up is a tortoise!

And the winner is... Jo Ern!

Let's go through the Arch of Water!

The other side of this water park was nice too, with lie-down jacuzzis.  I must find more such accommodation with great facilities!

We went to Jonker street, it was hot.  The kids were melting in the heat but perked up when they had their first slushies. 

We LOVE slushies!
