We are into day four of the journey and last night made it across the border to Malaysia. We caught a train, cleared customs in Singapore - but in terms of our passport being stamped into Malaysia who knows!!?? We changed our ticket to go to Melaka which is on the west 140km south of Kuala Lumpur. We caught a taxi into town with a very crazy man - who overtook a truck on a corner. We ahared the ride with an English guy 'Colin' and stayed at a hotel with him last night and are again tonight.
Melaka is a World Heritage City and is so rich in history, from the 16th century from when the Portugese ruled. We visited a couple of museums and walked the streets of ChinaTown, which is so picturesque! Narrow roads full of traffic with red buildings piled high and along the river. We are getting use to the food (me more slowly than Dave) and bahtering is fun.
