Day 3 - A Famosa Resort in Alor Gajah. That was our mission on day 3. So off we went - as early as we could. It was actually quite a distance from our hotel, but thankfully there's the PLUS hiway. Once we reached the place, it was well after 9.30am - surprisingly (?) there were already quite a crowd there. The total cost of the tickets - RM250 - for the whole family. Definitely not a wallet friendly kind of place.
Once we were at the Animal Safari entrance, Sarah was chased by the Red Indians - we simply had to laugh. There was also one huge Malayan tiger there and we decided to take our family picture with it. Carefully we took our seat behind the beast - all the time, I was praying that the tiger will not turn back to face us! The picture turned out great - as it captured the beast displaying his sharpies!
There were various shows - the first being the 'Elephant Show' - which was amazing. Much better compared to the ones in Malacca Zoo. Could $$ be the main reason - I mean this is a private company. Back to the show - imagine teaching elephants to cycle, plays the hoop, playing basket ball and football and tinkering with harmonica! The kids were all squeal.
Next was the 'Multi Animal Show' where there were raccoons, dogs, birds, Sun Bear, Flamingos and off course the Orang Utan.
There was also the 'Bird Show' and the 'Wild Wild West' show. There's a deja-vu that feeling - like I have seen them all before - either during my earlier visit there or was it the animal show in San Diego ?? After lunch (which was pre-packed 'nasi ayam - included in the ticket price) - we bought animal feed and spent time feeding the animals (and off course clicking away), plus spent RM6 each for a ride with Eli (Mr Elephant). The kids were beyond ecstatic - though is was only a short ride. By the time we were out of the area, it was already 4.30pm.
By the time we reached the hotel, all of us were exhausted - but that did not deter the kids to spend another hour in the pool! After dinner, we went roaming in town - a stark difference compared to the night before - as holidaymakers were already back from wherever they came from.
