Melaka's Solero Shot

But not as spine-chilling as that (the Solero Shot) lah.



It is known as Menara Taming Sari. The 110m tower is finally opened to public and me and the gang were going to try it!



The air-conditioned cabin takes you high above the ground while rotating (in a very slow motion), so you can enjoy the 360 degree views on Melaka.



It takes around 5 to 10 minutes for the ride, but the only thing I can remember is that once it took off, I was standing and busy snapping the pictures non-stop. I didn't even have the chance to enjoy the view :(



The gang...



Not forgetting...



The breath-taking views:





The rest turns out to be blurry :(

The ticket cost RM10 for myKad holders, RM20 for foreigners. It operates from 10am to 10pm daily.
