Malacca Getaway

Here are some of the photos taken during my Malacca trip on 29 & 30 August'09. Nothing much to say, it was really just a free and easy, rest and relax self-drive trip. Not forgetting, eat and eat. Tried the well known but overly crowded Farmosa Chicken Riceball at Jln Bendahara. Not Bad! My incredible is already asking when will we be going for a second round.

We were staying at Holiday Inn, the city's considerably newest hotel which was open in 2007. The room was comfortable and spacious. If you're an night owl like me, you can walk over to The Jetty for a drink or two. There is a number of eating places, a discotheque, an internet cafe and even a spa.

The Maritime Museum itself is housed in a huge replica of a Portuguese warship, Flor De Lar Mar. The museum is well organised and traces the maritime history of Malacca from Portuguese rule up until the British. Entry fee is only RM2.00.

I'm planning to re-visit in Dec. This time I would like to stay at Heeren House, a beautiful colonial guesthouse by the side of the winding Melaka River.
