Missing the boat..?

First off I must apologise for the lack of interest/humour/knowledge in this entry. Melaka just didn't do a lot for me....

And second, as I'm sure you may have realised whilst reading my entries I cannot be ars*d to proof read, so I'm afraid you'll just have to pretend the tyrping errors are not there!

Oohh and I've just thought of a third, did you guess I'd made up the names of the 2 Germans in my last ...

Melaka: Dinner with the Japanese Prime Minister

... with such a British name) and he was seen as the black sheep - but he said he didn't mind that - he'd rather be like that and have his own freedom than have a life controlled by a religion he doesn't really believe in). It was all pretty interesting and he was actually a remarkably sane/informed man - we'd just been misled the night before when he was drunk!

Day Four:

After staying up late the night before, I did absolutely nothing on this day but read my book and ...

The value of friends you meet on the road.

... later a police car, with three police officers turned up. I was taken away in a police car, flashing lights and all to pick up my passport at the hostel, which luckily wasn't in my bag and taken of to the police station. I had to visit three police stations. The first one I wrote my statement. Then I had to see the Police Sergeant who went through my statement and translated it to Malay. Then I had to visit the tourist police station, where I could ...

Me not likey Melaka

... around by myself all day after taking a local bus to get there, I agreed but on the condition we did a tour. Preferably one that included lunch. And so it was. I was left feeling a little under whelmed but it was ok. The lunch was at a Chinese restaurant (and was quite nice - even if we were shunned to the vegetarians table, which we shared with a nice, if a little ditsy British gal.) Traffic is notoriously bad in Kuala Lumpur, especially on a ...

Marche dans - Malaka - Walk in

... avant de trouver enfin une autre "guest house". Tres bien celle-ci. Nous avons relaxer un bon moment. Un bon dejeuner a 3.00 p.m. Enfin rasasie, nous sommes aller nous promener dans le vieux Melaca. C'est jolie. C'est un quartier qui fait maintenant partie du patrimoine mondial. C'est le Chinatown et les maisons portugaises en general qui ont ete restaures. Nous avons ete visiter une ...

Historical Melaka

... Chinese services lining the main (Jonker) Street. I spent a few hours wandering the streets and alleyways, being rewarded with fine architecture of former merchants mansions, locals going about their daily work and lots of funny, old men on bicycles! At one point I was walking about and taking photos when a Chinese man in his 30s approached me and after a few minutes offered me a lift somewhere - I said "no thanks" and carried on walking and he later passed me twice more ...

... whole time. Hurray for my Hubby: he does not get nervous or irritated. It is almost 21h, when the (cranky!!!!!) driver drops us off, 10 minutes from the train. How Dr T finds his way I will never understand but we are in our favorite restaurant at 21h30, me sipping my Tom Yam. Well, we learned lessons again today. And this in one of the reasons we travel. If we can give you one advise: taking the bus in Malaysia, do not go for : Melor ...

Culture Town

... in the same place as the Dutchman who I saw in KL two days before. Once the bags were down, I acquired a cheap lunch from a street diner, saw the sites (an old fort, church, and town hall - beautiful stuff), stopped by some local religious centers (a local Chinese guy gave me a quick tour of his temple - that was cool), and walked about Chinatown for a spell. Found some free internet ...

Back to reality

... off. Had a coffee and something to eat which sorted me out. Spent the evening up on the roof top with a beer and my ipod. Tommorow I will be heading out to the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Overall, Melaka is a really nice place with a lot of charm and friendly people. After coming from Singapore, it brings you back down to reality. Calm and laid back compared to Singapores hustle and bustle. Take care everyone. (P.S. Will try and upload some pictures too.)

Melaka

... before starting the ride to the next town. We had a direct bus to Melaka without any stops on the way. after a few hours, we arrived in the evening at the central busstation in Melaka. For the hostel, we consulted the LP and we decidet to take a local bus to the part with the most backpackers hostels. they were all a little bit dirty. The whole quarter was realy stinky. We decidet to take a look at the hostels in china town. once arriving ...
