Back to Malacca, my colleagues and I went for a long walk in the afternoon since our course was commencing only at 8.30pm that night....
After some enquiries from the hotel counter, we started our walk... long walk....
after twenty minutes walk we reached World Heritage City..
how come it is Melaka instead of Malacca?
the buildings were red in colour...
along the way, I saw this beautiful church
Church of St. Francis Xavier..
finally... we reached the a-Famosa..
colourful trishaws along the way...
Couldn't help taking a pic...
Malacca river...
I heard it was from the sea actually...
looks like Venice?
we joined the river cruise the following night...
Saw a cendol stall opposite ...
Knowing this is a tourist spot..
I didn't have high expectations from the stall...

my colleague took the cendol...
she said Ipoh one is better.. hahaha...
This was what I ordered...
ice kacang..but without the groundnuts...
Nothing to shout about..
but it certainly quenched our thirst.. in a way..
After that, a long half hour walk back to the hotel.. phew!!

isaac: yes, i agree with u.. butterworth is another heritage city..
wow, all the way to melaka for the course..
Yeah! The cendol over there is only normal. Nothing to shout about. :p
walk a little bit more into jonker street and u'll get a much nicer and cheaper cendol, just opposite the big chicken rice shop.
wenn: no choice.. :)
tekkaus: cos we didnt walk till jonkers street.. too far...
medie: wah..u r familiar with Malacca?
Melaka...I heard lot of nice food there,bt I never been there yet.
Would love to visit Malacca again one day. It was years ago when I paid a visit there, must be a lot of changes.
Be safe my dear.

I would want to live in Melaka...small town, got beach...got free WIFI everywhere, even at smallest apek kopitiam...wud else can ask for? Too bad... hubby work is in KL... else I would want to stay in Melaka. It's as good as Penang...very touristy, very nice.
