Another day, another country. This time a 5 hour bus journey to Melaka - or Malacca, take your pick. Malaysia seems like a slightly more civilised version of Indonesia. Cleaner, slower drivers and less hassle from the natives. Because of this it may turn out to be less interesting. It has an interesting mix of races though, with a large Chinese community.
We got a room near the old part of town but the European castle ruins and churches are not as interesting as similar things in Europe. I wasn't impressed. The tourist board did a good job selling it and keeping it clean though. We watched the sound and light show in the evening which was memorable for the many Pat Jennings/Richard Burton renditions of "Melaka" and "Merdaka" (independence).
