This is the continuation to An Evening in Colmar Tropicale. We were told that there was nothing much at the Colmar Tropicale. It was suggested by Puan Nora, the Nora Lodge owner, that we go up there during the evening and stay till nightfall so that we could see the resort during the day and night in one go. Furthermore, after 6:00pm, there will be no entrance fee. If not adults would have to pay RM12 just to enter the resort.
Pasha insisted on trying out the yellow rubber ducky fishing game. He successfully pleaded with his "pretty please" code word for him to do two rounds of rubber ducky fishing.
Pasha fishing for the yellow rubber ducky. Pasha had no problem catching the rubber ducky but to win a prize, was a totally different story... There was a lot of "unfairness" built into that game and all the other same kind of games that you can find at the resort. The odd of winning was way too low making it almost impossible to win at all. So, if you were up there, just stay away from the games so that hopefully, one day, those operators would recalculate the huge profit that they are making and give back a bit more to the players... And the Ultraman with his parents by the fountain....
Alternative to wasting money playing the games for nothing. There was a game arcade there. Fully automated, so no resort employee was there. If you have kids around 3 who insisted on playing the game there, put them at this colorful ball game. There's no need to pay as an adult can just pick up the balls that the kid threw inside and you can have this fun for hours... The only thing that you will not get for not paying is your score. Kids do not really need scores to have fun, do they?
Colmar Square and the magical fountain at night. Quite a pretty sight...
The knight in not so shiny armor and Pasha and Mama at the clock tower at night.
Next change: The foggy morning.
