We haven't updated this for a while so we'll see how we get on.
Melaka: As the bus took us into Melaka we were not overly impressed considering the lonely planet raved about it. We don't want to use the work dump.......
Managed to get a room in a cheap guest house in the centre of China town. Did the usual tourist things e.g wandered around the centre of town, sampled typical Nonya food and checked out the tacky night market. The highlight was buying genuine fake Birkenstocks for 8 quid and a sun brolly.
We also enjoyed a river cruise....when we say enjoyed we mean tolerated until we got off! The river STANK. Suprisingly there was actually some wildlife in there, namely two turtles.....both dead. Nice.
Another highlight were the peddle rikshaws. They had full car stereo systems blaring out Michael Jackson tunes and covered with fairy lights. Needless to say we didn't bother hiring one.
2 nights were enough - next stop Kuala Lumpur.
