I love malacca

Came here as a last resort as we realised we didn't have enough time to go to borneo. Wasn't really expecting much but it is one of the most beautiful towns I've been to. We stayed in Chinatown in a huge converted mansion with double height ceilings and shutters and little hidden courtyards and all sorts. Oh and there were loads of swallows nests on the walls and loads of them flying around and feeding their babies. Oh it was so lovely, and the whole area was just as good, all renovated mansions that were now shops and cafes and art galleries and some were still millionaires homes. I found one that hasn't been rebuilt and is still falling down that I'm going to buy. Took so many pictures and just loved it so much.
First night we had beers and a huge spring roll each in a cafe and then went to another for tea. I had a chocolate and strawberry milkshake which was amazing. And mama and pop had a rice and cheese dish which they really liked so I am not wierd for eating those 2 things together!
I was so excited about having my own room I forgot that's normal back home! Had a lovely free breakfast at the hotel and then went for a wander. Went on a boat trip which was ok but showed that we were staying in the prettiest part of town, and Had our feet nibbled by fish again at a spa, but they were smaller so didn't do as good a job (but it tickled a lot less!) Had a drink at a really pretty riverside cafe and then mama and I went shopping for a bit.
Oh and the night before as we were walking home we walked past a huge stage in the middle of the road playing Chinese music with 2 old ladies ballroom dancing together and one old mentalist just sort of bouncing around on their own. No idea what was going on but it looked like a day trip for mental patients.
Anyway yesterday evening we went to a quite posh restaurant and had lovely burgers and then sat in a really cool bar called geographers cafe and had some beers. I stood in front of a fan and my dress blew over my head and the whole bar saw my bra and pants. Classy. Lastly we went to the courtyard bar at our hotel which was so nice and green.
This morning mama and I got up early to go to a little shop and get her a number plate for her bike cos we saw some with them and she liked them. And then just had a 2 hour coach ride back to kl.
