Loving everything about this town~ II

Picking up form what I’d left off, here goes the second half of our first day in Melaka.

Did you know there’s a VIP cargo available for your special occasion on the ferris wheel? It costs Rm100 for 7 people.IMG_4271 IMG_4277 IMG_4280 IMG_4290 IMG_4292 One of my favourite shot throughout the trip..IMG_4311Look at Kate’s emotion.. fishy much..IMG_4315 IMG_4320

Melaka night cruise..

The night ends when we had a night stroll in the usually-jammed-packed Jonker Street, in the cool breeze of the night, soaking in the delightful silence.

Day 2 itinerary :

Wake up real early - buzz Zin up - walk along Jonker in the morning - walk along Jonker (again) and Red House - have chicken rice balls – bathe - walk along Jonker (again, but the night market is really nice…) and grab a drink at local bar (oh no, we didn’t *wink*).

The one thing I love most about this town is that no matter where you go, you’ll see stores being manned by Chinese folks, not the foreign workers. They’ll tell you every takes that they know about this town, capturing your imagination, mesmerizing your thought.

The night ends with the fire stunt by a street performer, beautiful and memorable..

Taken at the entrance of the Zheng Ho museum. If I were to suggest one must-do in Melaka, I would say go to this museum. There’s a guide  leading you through it, telling you little fascinating stories and every setting in the museum is up for photography. It’s like a wonderland for history-fanatics, cam-whores and whoever in the middle. I ain’t kidding..It’s worth the ticket. And you get an AMAZING view of the whole town, only on a roof accessible through the museum.

Leaving after having the third chendol of our trip. We never seem to get enough of it, neither do we of this lovely town.. Ending this travel chapter with sweet thoughts dangling and beginning of the fantasy of another trip..

“Times passes and memory stays as it is, captured at the moment you wanted time to stood still.”

- to fellow DID dudes, keep it strong ya..

With love,
