Melaka Calling!

I managed to atlast steal some time and take a peek at Melaka (aka Malacca) in Malaysia! I was interested because its a historical port and changed hands so many times over the last few centuries!
Melaka did not disappoint! Its a great little town that you can just walk around and soak in..dont miss the river cruise and Jonker Walk night market. The food is great (try the grilled and skewered potato with pepper!) and cool down with Baba Chendol (@Jonker 88)...or simply have a full chettinad meal on banana leaves on Indian Street!
Transport from Singapore is easy (i liked Luxury's coaches and service), immigration and customs was fast..all in all..a great weekend!
Oh yes...if you like Kites as i do, you can get some good ones in a shop on Jalan Banga Raya!
