Melaka, in south east Malaysia was a quick side stop around the country. Nothing went outrageously wrong, and I managed to stay 5 days longer than I originally intended. Again.
Aside from the splendid old town, Melaka was just a lovely destination to visit in Malaysia. I met some amazing people, and had the piss taken out of me most of the time I was there, which made me feel quite at home. I had the best Curry, Sate & Laksa I have ever eaten. All ridiculously cheaply too. My budget did go slightly awry during one night of Vodka & Redbull, but that is another story. As a world heritage site, I believe it puts Luang Prabang in the shade.
Simply put, I loved Melaka, and was very sorry to leave. If you happen across it, head to Discovery Guest House. Mr Teng is a most gracious and generous host. Say Ed sent you…
Here ends the shameless plug for Melaka & Discovery.
