[Rich: Hello!
I was meant to write the Melaka blog, but as you will find out, I was ill for pretty much the entirety of Melaka, so I spent most my time in bed or on the toilet. Tom, however, failed to realise that this would prevent me from writing the blog (even though I missed out on everything) so he didn't take any notes (Tom: To be honest I was feeling a little lazy and couldn't be *****...). So we apologise if the blog is a little sketchy]
Day One:

We catch a bus to Melaka and then get a taxi to Sunny's Inn. We check out the Historical sites in Melaka, which includes the old defense wall and a church and takes a whole hour for us to see everything! We then head towards China town which is all shut up but manage to find a place to have a drink which is nice and quirky and the people there invite us to there Chinese New Year celebrations the next day. We walk back towards our hostel stopping in the shopping centre on the way where there h...
Melaka, Malaysia hibbsI started writing this post whilst sheltering from a torrential rainstorm in Melaka, almost a week ago. Since then I have traveled several hundred kilometers north, through the towering skyscapers of Kuala Lumpur, skirting the edges of the Cameron Highlands, and across the causeway to Penang, to find myself here, in a small guesthouse in Georgetown. But I get ahead of myself, and must first return to Melaka to let you know how I found my first Malaysian experience... Rewind back one week... W...
Melaka, Melaka State, Malaysia kittierarMelaka is a funny little town down on the western coast of Malaysia. In July 2008 it was made a Unesco World Heritage site, and they are obvioulsy very, very proud of this fact. For about 500 years this place has changed hands between the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British, being taken and traded for a little bit of land here or there. As a consequence, it really does have a little bit of everything. Add into the fact that it has a thriving Chinese community and a bit like Malaysia itself,...

Melaka, Melaka State, Malaysia aguas... through the historic Chinatown area, which was composed of narrow streets lined by two-story houses. The houses were long and narrow (due to "window" tax) and had tiled landings with little bridges across the open drain to the road. The lower levels were shops, including a lot of art galleries and craft stores, and the upper levels were homes. Unfortunately they were all shut (apparently the street runs special markets from Friday to Sunday; it was dead the whole time ...
Melaka, Melaka State, Malaysia ziniandluluJeg tog efter Singapore til Johor Bahru da jeg havde laest at det var et godt udgangspunkt for at komme videre i Malaysia. Turen i byen kostede $2,4 saa det var overkommeligt, men at tage en overnatning i byen var en fejl. Sultanen(af Johor) bor i byen og har vist gjort det i lang tid saa det undrer mig meget at der overhovedet ikke er nogen form for byplanlaegning. Den er total ulogisk og ganske enkelt irriterende. Det var tydeligt at gaderne i byen var efterladt til ...
Melaka, Malaysia travelrookiesWe breezed through customs and Immigration at the border and found ourselves at a very busy bus station with lots of touts shouting words we couldn't understand; with a little help from one of the touts we located the ticket counter for buses to Malacca. We watched as all of the VIP buses pulled away from the station and boarded our not so VIP bus for a bumpy ride non-stop ...
Malacca, Malaysia escapefromuk... that had been recommended by the guide book. We set off in the direction of the historic centre being careful to avoid the busy traffic keen to knock us off our feet at the side of the road. Zigzagging back and forth across the roads in search of decent pavements on which to walk, we found only an uneven shop front or two on which to escape the mad motorcyclists. Eventually we located the street on which the restaurant was meant to be situated .Wandering along ...
