Tuesday 31st - 4th April - Melaka, Malaysia.   I took the bus from Singapore on Wed 1st April to Melaka, Malaysia. In all the bus journeys I've done, and the amount of hours and nights I've spent on busses, for this 4 hour bus journey, I got the nicest bus I've ever seen.   The seats were like arm chairs, that reclined far back, with a foot rest. There was so much room in between the seats that even with the seat of the person in front right back I still ...

On the walls were photos and news clippings of famous people who had visited as well as a guestbook and stacks of photo albums. It was amazing to see all the old antiques as well as displays such as family wedding clothes. The visit to Villa Sentosa was a definite highlight of our time in Melaka.

We have a lie in as i still don't think I've recovered form Sunday and the journey and vow to eat less and healthier. We walk into the old town of Melaka passing the Maritime Museum which has a full sized replica of a Portuguese ship which resembles something from Pirates of the Caribbean. We go into the Museum of Enduring Beauty which is fascinating to see how different cultures depict beauty showing examples of foot binding, tattoos, nose and ...
