CAPE RACHADO

Kali ni mai join trip bang long ke Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachado). Org portugis bg nama tanjung ni Cape Rachado masa dulu coz masa diaorg conquered Melaka (1511), diaorg nak bina umah api utk guide kapal2 n kebetulan lokasi tanjung ni paling strategik kat perairan selat melaka. Umah api is the oldest kat Mesia.

Siblings Kak Maz (Maria, Kak Ina, Salleh) pun ikut skali. Riuh sikit pegi ramai2. Syok coz semula jenis happy go lucky n adventurous. Paling tak leh lupa masa jungle tracking kat hutan simpan tanjung tuan. SUSPENNYEEE..Sesapa nak rasa suspen tu....pegi la..rasa sendiri..hehehe. Tak leh bg komen kat sini.
