Still, we managed to find somewhere and during the day the town is more awake, so we can still see all the sights we wanted to. There is a ridiculous number of museums to choose from here considering the size of the place. We've decided to give the Islamic, architecture and government democracy museums a miss, but we've seen the main Melaka museum and it's off-shoots. Add in a wander along the river and round Little India (not like the one in Singapore!) and that's a full day's sightseeing sorted.
The wander to Little India included me having an interesting experience in a chinese pharmacy. I wandered in to see if they had any herbal remedies for tummy troubles, as I seem to be plagued this holiday. As well as two chinese pharmacists, the two other customers in the place wanted to help diagnose me and get the right medicines too. It's not often in life I've been questioned about how much gas I have by strangers, and can't say I want to repeat it.
As we walked around, we saw lots of the infamous trishaws that can be found around Melaka. Trishaws existed in Singapore too, but the ones here are famous for their lights and sound system. Even in the daytime they look fab.
Dinner was a bit problematic as we went to a chinese food court, where I picked a "veggie" option, only for it arrive with chicken legs in it. We ended up in Pizza Hut in the end. Thank goodness for Pizza Hut; I never thought I would say that!
