We arrived in Melaka mid morning and checked into our guesthouse for a couple of nights. Having had a quick bite to eat we wandered Muzium Rakyat (People's Museum) which had an interesting display on how different countries have sought to alter their apperance, including head deformation, dental mutilations, tattooing, sacrification and foot-binding. Sounds horrendous, but believe us, it was very interesting, especially when the other display was on kites!
The next day was spent looking at the sights fairly half-heartedly as to be fair it is not the most exciting place. It's pretty with Dutch influences and we went on a nice boat trip along the river, but most of the commentary was based on the regeneration taking place, and how wonderful the town would be if we came back in 2011....
Went to the night market and then on Sunday headed off to Singapore.
