Melaka - Day 2...and a surprise
... tour around the city, but when we approached one he told us that for MR40 (£8) he’d take us to about 3 or 4 famous places / museums where he’d take us inside to view the exhibits. Most of them were in spitting distance of where were stood. So we declined.

Farväl min sköna, snart ses vi igen
... rum i huset brevid. Det finns små gästhus i mängder här i Melaka så man behöver inte gå långt mellan ställena. I alla fall, vi ville äta hos våran favorit innan vi åkte härifrån, stället där vi var de första gästerna någonsin. Vi har ätit där varje dag sen dess och vi har blivit kompisar med ägaren.
