hellooooooo :)
The last few days we have been chilling out in Melaka - this is south of Malaysia it is an oldy, historical city!! Quite cool with its run down buildings and cobled roads!
We have not done that much so our blog will be short this time and we will upload pics next time as this computer is super slow. It took us a very cheap 2 hour bus ride to get here.
Yesterday we went to Tanjung Keling beach about an hour from where we were staying - it was very quiet and as it was a bit overcast we just sat listened to some tunes and took in the calm atmosphere, while the cab driver waited for us ha ha - was a good thing too as it seemed a dead area!!!
Today we wanted to visit some of the historical sites - we wandered down past St. Francis Xaviers Church built in 1849... this just looked like an average church - we wanted to see St. Pauls Church - this looked like a bomb site but we found out it was taken over by the british years and years and years ago and they started to store gunpowder in it - so it stopped being used for worship, thats probably why it looks like it does. We also took a mooch at St Johns Fort (this was quite small and is at the bottom of the hill below St Pauls Church). Literally next door we had a look at Melakas Sultanate Palace - this is infact a wooden replica of a 15th century Malay Palace. After this we looked around the shopping mall and got a starbucks :)
We came back to our hotel to book some stuff for singapore which we are headed to tomorrow so we thought we would update you all!!
Miss you all lots and lots
