Submarine Museum

It was just one of those hubby's off day... We were free and the kids are in school.  So, I suggested to visit Klebang beach as I've seen beautiful photos of this latest attraction in Malacca: Desert look-alike shore.  Since we weren't sure of the exact location, we drove around looking for this famous spot.  The funny thing is: We were not the only one.  There were a few cars driving aimlessly just like us.

Finally, hubby and I parked our car in this piece of no-man-land.  The sun was blazing hot but for the sake of stunning shots we exposed ourselves under its scorching heat.  Well, we are not great photographers, neither are we supermodels.  So, these are some photos we captured to keep in our memory bank.

On our way home, we passed by the Submarine Museum which caught us by surprise.  Never knew there is such a place in Malacca.  So, hubby and I decided to drop by with the children that very afternoon.

The children were excited upon hearing that idea.  The entrance fee is RM3/adult and RM1/child. 
Right at the entrance there are two fighter jets.

From the outside the submarine may look big but it is very compact on the inside.  The walkway could only fit one person at a time.  There are altogether 3 sections - the Torpedo Room, Staff Quarters and finally the Command Centre.  We could only view these rooms from the corridor as there is a barricade at the entrance of the rooms.

The visit was definitely worth while as we could actually see and touch a real submarine.  One could not imagine how the crews live day and night in such a confined space for months.  However, we would appreciate it if more information were given.  Hubby acted as the tour guide to the kiddos.  Later we found out that the kids were actually expecting the submarine to be under the sea.  So, they were a bit disappointed.


The entire tour took only about 20 minutes the most.  Nevertheless, it is a good experience not to be missed!
