Paradise Malacca Village Resort Melaka

... br> The change in temprature during the day is noticably different from the east coast. We have been taking full advantage of air conditioning whenever we can during the day, this included going to see Michael Jackson's film at the cinema. We have been into a couple of museums and went up in an 80 metre high 360 degree rotating tower looking out across Melaka.
Walking back to the guesthouse one night ...

... huge amounts of dead skin off of his feet, but I couldn’t even stand to have 2 mintues worth of fish eating me. It started out as tickling, then it just became plain gross as I thought about what those little fish were doing. And some of the fish really weren’t that little -- they were about as long as my thumb and just as thick. Gross!

In general, though, we really enjoyed Melaka and had some seriously good Indian food there. The Malay-Chinese ...

... road without any bends in Australia - 90 miles in total. We got very excited when finally the road bent round to the left, having almost forgotten what the steering wheel was for. After safely completing the Nullabor, and being a bit disappointed that the town at the end of it - Norseman - had no attractions at all except some statues of camels on a roadabout made out of corrugated iron - we headed on up to the mining town of Kalgoorlie - which is also very isolated in the middle ...

... while you drink your tea you dangle your feet into a big pond while hundred of little fish nibble your feet, cleaning them & allegedly relaxing you - it's not that relaxing! The upside of my tea crawl was that I was so chilled out that I felt I was floating around the streets. The downside was that I had so much caffeine that I couldn't get to sleep until 4am! Finished For Whom The Bell Tolls though, bloody brilliant!

... Het werd dus pizza. Ernst had nergens trek in: behalve dan in stenen gooien in de zorgvuldig aangelegde vijver van het restaurant en héél hard schreeuwn. Uiteindelijk at ie een volledige bananasplit op en was alles weer rustig. Einde avond nog wat gedronken bij een nog niet geopend restaurant van een vriendelijke man die met een Belgische bleek te zijn getrouwd. Hij nodigde ons binnen uit, zette een Belgische variant van 'tulpen ...

... far food's been amazing, but it's really hard to eat in this climate. had chicken and rice ball, a couple of different laksas, lots of wanton soup and possibly best so far satay. This is a bubbling bucket of a spicy 'secret' recipe sauce in the middle of your table that you dip various things into to cook. It's great and would take off so well in UK it's a great idea. Manager was a top guy who gave us beers and we had biggest prawns ever- like 6-8 inches of prawn, the ...

... dimly lit street late one night and happened upon a guy pulling dozens of pigs off the back of a truck and hacking them into pieces with an axe. He stopped and looked at us and we stopped and looked at him. No one said anything. Then we walked off into the night. I've been having the weirdest dreams I've had in a long time. Oh and I'm loving the way things are written how they're said. Example: to ...

... lined the streets and it made for a good atmosphere. There were lots of nice antique and art galleries too that you could just spend hours shopping. I followed a lonely planet walking tour for the town which was really quite god and took me everywhere I wanted to go. Some of the houses were so tiny and had the most elaborate ceramic tiles and decoration on the front. Walking around the streets here I completely ...

... although they do point out the films geographic mishap as it doesn't in fact end at the Petronas twin towers!! The traditional stilted village in the middle of the city is somewhat of a surprise but the houses are beautiful and strangely not out place. A coffee and a game of Chonker, shells in holes!! and Baba Nonya cuisine pastry top hats and grated turnip and the Baba Nonya museum. With little time before Melaka's sound and light show!! it ...

... on his Camel cigarettes and pedalled us past some big old 19th century war ships, Christ Church, to the Afamosa Gate and to the beach .. he then suspiciously started offering to take us to other 'sights' such as the cemetry which extended our ride ... which we humoured for a while! C even offered to pedal a while for him and this got plenty of attention and ...
