Fascinating Weekend in San Antonio

Filed under: General

Nice trip to San Antonia but not as what i expected! :)
This trip i went with DBA teams. So both jimmy and steven not join since they had already been there before… ( we rent a new car Infinity 3.5 )

Sat 15April
Reach there at 11pm. Since we can only check-in at 3pm, so we just park our car at Red Roof Inn and then walk to the downtown.

1st, we went to IMAX theater to watch the Alamo movie as suggested by friends that we should see the Alamo movie first before exploring the town. I was very excited to watch the IMAX 3D but the whole movie theater experience is sucks! No 3D at all. But i would say that the alamo is very important in texas history, texas declared independence from mexico. During the battle, all of the Texan defenders were killed. That it!

After lunch we went to the riverwalk. Since they called it riverwalk, so we just walk alongside the river. hahaha.. too long queue to take the boat for tour. Spent almost 1 hour to see the nice scenic view, so it was great!

Then, we went to the Alamo. I was deeply impressed because it was well preserved and in good shape.The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed here and there. When i touched the wall, i could feel the damage. Apart from that it is completely mobbed with people and well, not that interesting. It’s also hard to learn much about it as we have to struggle through a crowd to get to any of the informational displays. :P

Take an hour rest at hotel before start again the xpdc.. going to Market Square ( like central market in malaysia). This is the place to buy lots of souvinir but i haven’t spent even 1 dollar here ( out of budget already.. :) pokai )
Next destination is Japanese garden. For those who love flower OK la.. this is the place! Seems like this garden no longer maintain, most people coem here for jogging and take a pictures. Lucky i haven’t buy my DSLR yet, if not sure will spent my time to snap the flower macros. yeahh! i like macro!

Take a dinner at 1 of the restoran in riverwalk area. we all makan kaw kaw punya!.. Night view in this places is damn good/nice!..
