Myself and jet insisted we leave KL and go to Melacca as it looked so pretty and sounded like a great place with lots of history, Nat wasnt so keen but we dragged her.
We got here and had to walk for what seemed like miles to our faulty towers hostel but I think its because it was mega hot! Anyway the hostel was cheap yet again and this time much cleaner and bareable so we were in. Then we set off for the afternoon sightseeing. We walked through the dutch influenced part of town with Jet loved, we quickly shot her down by pointing out we kicked the dutch out and took over for almost 100 years, though it is quite obvious that the dutch laid down roots here. We all went on a river cruise which was disappointing to the point that Nat and I fell asleep on the way back - ooops. I marvelled at some of the beautiful boat they have on show near the port and a walk around was quite nice too. It wasnt quite as pretty as we thought but still interesting. I liked all the history about pirates and boats, was half expecting a man with a big black eye patch and a hook for a hand to jump out at me but no such luck! damn!
On the way back we took some photos of jet next to a windmill, she loved it. Then we went through the night market only to be greeted with malaysian people doing karaoke on the stage in the mif\ddle of town and about 50 people sitting watching with the longest faces in the world. This town was getting more strange by the minute! We had fun here though for our 1 day stopover before Singapore........ 4 countries down, 3 to go ;-)
