A traditional city colonized by the Dutch, English, and Spanish - Malacca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lots of charm and old architecture. It has been my favorite stop in Malaysia so far.
Our midweek arrival meant quiet streets and easy photography.
We met with my cousin Nicole, her husband Peter and their friend Christine. They live in Switzerland and were traveling in the area. Who would have guessed this is where we were going to meet?
Ali being trapped in the land of Totoro.
We stayed at the River View Guest House. I hope you can see how it got its name.
The next morning we went to the maritime museum. This is the headpiece of an antique Malay ship.
We met with Nicole and Peter one last time to say goodbye. They were heading back to Singapore.
After a short bike ride we went to yoga where Ali taught her first professional class as a yoga teacher. Want hot yoga? Just open the windows and turn off the fans. The heat and humidity made the class tough, but I made it through all of it! Yeah sugar mama!
Then we went for a stroll on the river. This place is really a night destination when the sun is not beating down and the lights come on.
We decided to do the tourist trap and took the river cruise. All along the river front lies historical houses and building, most of which are covered in murals.
