Off to Melaka, so crossing into our fourth country of the trip, Malaysia. Glad we've changed our plans as the news from Thailand is not improving, with the Foreign Office now telling people not to go to the parts of the country we were thinking of due to random outbreaks of violence. JP keeps muttering darkly about being unlucky, but it's one of those things, and we're lucky that we could find an alternative rather than having to cut the trip short.
Melaka should be fun as it is another world heritage city, with lots of Dutch and British colonial architecture mixed in with the Malay and Chinese buildings. It is supposed to be a lot of fun in the evenings too. First impressions are that it is pretty, as this photo of our hotel shows. It is in a street known as "millionaire's row" and was the street of choice for the wealthy chinese merchants in the 1800's.
