Yes like I said before, Malacca is such a tourist town with lots of history to the place so it was a good idea to maintain the historical buildings in good orders for the tourists to enjoy like this famous church built in 1753.
Being a tourist area you can get hassled by the local peddlers to buy souvenirs or ride in their colorfully decorated tricycles or abang beca as they're locally known. I used to ride on them with my grandma when I was little but I won't be tempted to do it again! Only foreigners would be amused to give them a go.
When you are in Malacca you must go visit the old church or was it the old fortress on top of the hill. This place is the highest point in the area and the views from up here is quite spectacular.
There's a lot of museums in town and if I were to visit everyone of them, I'd probably need a few days to visit them all. We did however went into this replica tall ship which is a maritime museum but there wasn't much to see inside.
Late in the afternoon we had enough and wanted to go back to KL, we passed by this artificial waterfall by the roadside which I think it's rather cool! It certainly is better than some of the museums in town!
Goodbye Malacca! I'm glad I've visited you but don't know when or if I'll ever come back again. We had to get back to KL coz Che-cheh wanted to take us out to dinner in Puchong...can hardly wait to meet her!

I remember catching the abang beca in Penang, though we used to call the Tri-shaws. They certainly look a lot more colourful and better looked after than the ones we used to ride in.

Wah, you have a date with Che-Cheh!
