My day trip to Melaka






Yesterday I went to Melaka for the day from KL. It is about 2 hours south on the coast. I was feeling pretty confident in handling the transport systems here, so I managed to get there and back via buses and taxis. Taxis are so cheap , the equivalent of $7 buys you a 20 minute ride. The only hiccup was missing the bus for the return journey that I had bought a ticket for, because I was waiting in the wrong place. Not to worry.
Melaka was the site of early European history in malaysia.
I took a ride on trishaw and saw evidence of early Dutch and Portuguese buildings.
Here are some old buildings from Melaka's Chinatown area.

  1. beautiful! Melaka is a place I didn't get to visit on my trip to Malaysia but I wish I had. I love the incredibly ornate buildings.
