    I wondered down here on my first night and it was sooooo busy on a Saturday night. Then the day I walked down in the day and it was much nicer and easier to walk. A must visit street in Malacca.

    The stage and the building is very impressive. The theater stage is revolving and it gives a very special experience overall.
    But the show is a bit light and does have a lot of room for improvement.

    This museum is worth a good hour of your time. An old family home with its original fittings and furniture, it is a snapshot of Peranakan family life a century ago, frozen in time. The influences all hark back to China, except for some wall prints and photographs that hint at aspiration to European society, very little Malay influence visible. The self-guided tour brochure is helpful, but I feel that I would have learned much more with a tour guide.

    A beautiful and colorful mosque in Melaka surrounded by water and hence called floating mosque. They allow you to visit inside provided you are dressed appropriately. They provide coverups/scarfs for a fee at the entrance. Has a nice garden area to sit near the entrance. Also has clean washrooms.

    There was a refreshing breeze.
    Look for the big sea lizards swimming and lounging about.
    You can take a relaxing river cruise.
    Cute restaurants and sights.

    Had a day tour to Melaca and enjoyed the downtown tour focusing on the Portuguese and Durch history which is still very dominant allover in old town…

    As members of the 20-strong Anglo-Thai Society Regional Tour, my wife and myself visited St Paul’s Hill & Church yesterday during a Historical Melaka Tour.

    Although most of the Church is no longer intact, the site itself (including the relics) - which is on the top of a hill - offers panoramic views of the city.

    Well worth a short visit!

    As members of the 20-strong Anglo-Thai Society Regional Tour, my wife and myself visited the Chang Hoon Teng (Above Merciful Clouds’ Temple yesterday during our Historical Malacca Tour.

    It is a very popular (not exceptional) attraction but well worth a brief visit.

    This house built at the waterfront has an estimated price of 700.000 dollar, but it's more than that. The owner shows his house with excellent stories remembering the past, his father and grandfather, he is a living legend. Admire the house and all what you can see inside.

    This is billed as a river walk but really there is little to see of interest. Once you are beside the river either walk into the town or use one of the trikes to peddle you around . Cheap enough for a 45min tour they will wait for you at each place of interest. I would recommend as it was so hot and exhausting and they know where to go instead of working with a map if you have limited time .
