Fenix Inn

... in my arms and by my side. With no sleep, I decided to keep on running. A short bus ride to Melaka. Taxi to the Fenix Inn and quickly I search for food. Yum, laksa for lunch and to the bakery for dessert. The Chinese are really everywhere in the world, ...

... caught the local bus into the old town for the princely sum of R2 (we love local buses). After a friendly check-in at The Fenix Inn, we dropped our luggage in our clean, comfy room, and headed out to see the sights. Given Melaka's strategic position in ...

... hotel for everyone.  I'm a stickler for transportation... it's the only thing that stresses me out on vacation.  We used Fenix Transportation and they were wonderful!  Remember that there are 9 of us.  Assuming each of us has at least ...

... time, lol. One of the Danes was staying here for a number of months learning Spanish at a school she recommended called Fenix. Doing Spanish lessons had thoroughly crossed my mind so I decided to accept her recommendation and check them out.  Sucre ...

We left Singapore bright and early to catch a bus to Malaysia. What a joy it was compared to the Indonesian public transport nightmares! The bus was a 'VIP' type bus – very comfortable seats with more leg room than you get on the airplanes!  ...

We flew from Bali to Singapore at 12:30am so we didn't arrive until 3:30. Our bus to Melaka wasn't leaving for another 5hrs and we were absolutely EXHAUSTED, so we walked around the airport looking for a place to sleep. The people who built Singapore ...

After a long bus journey we arrived at the Melaka bus depot and took a taxi to Chinatown to find a guesthouse.  Our guidebook said there was lots of accommodation in Chinatown, turns out what they meant is, on weekdays only!  Apparently ...

On with the tour to our last Malaysian stop, namely Melaka. It's a really pretty, historical town. Almost didn't make it there when the bus screeched to a halt, narrowly avoiding a big crash and sounding the horn the whole time. We took a boat ride down ...

Today we headed to Malakka for a day before heading to Singapore.  Torrential rain again :(  we got there and went on a walking tour to see the town and then went on a boat trip down the river, which was really nice and the riverbanks had ...

Da ich nur kurz Zeit habe, auch nur ein kurzer Eintrag. Wir sind in unserer Stopover Stadt Malakka angekommen. Stopover deshalb, weil wir lediglich einen halben Tag bleiben. Es wird also immer japanischer... Immerhin unser Hotel ist aeusserst sauber und ...

Day 11- Early start as I got up at 7 so that I could be in the queue at the twin towers for a ticket to the skybridge!! By 11am I'd made it to the front with my friend Ellen for a 2:40pm slot! We were both very tired but a bit smug as the rest of the ...

Our last stop in Malaysia was in the town of Melaka for just one afternoon, which was enough time to get a feel for the place.  Didn't get up to much really, other than having a wander around the town which was an interesting mix of Malay, Portugese ...

Just a quick entry today about Malacca... It's the 3rd smallest Malaysian state and was basically just a stop over between KL and Singapore but it was still interesting! We were only there for a day though. We weren't very cultural this time and had ...
