MALACCA....Malaysia Historical City part 2

okay,...sambung cerita

Christ Church and Stadthuys
We are standing in front of the Victoria clock tower and fountain. In the backgound lagi is the Stadthuys. Previously, the Dutch governor stayed there,... now its the Ethnography Muzuem. Has all the detailed accounts from Malacca sovereignity to Japanese occupation.

On the right is the Christ Church, with it's distinct red color. Trishaw rides hang around here to pick up potential customers. When asked how much the ride was, "rm12 saja.. ok tauke?" ....terpaksa decline politely. Some of d trishaw have stereo boombox fixed in it, occasionally you can hear Crazy Frog song!..hehehehe

Across the road, was the mini tulips garden and miniature wind mill, evidence of the Dutch influece. We wanted to show Ashley the flowers, but baby was KOed.. hehehehe!




No trip to Malacca is complete without eating the famouse "Cendol Melaka". We went to a small shop in Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat)... VERY NICE!,.. and cheap. Its only RM2.20 per bowl. Baby Ashley just woke up,... so not in the mood for cendol...heheheh!



So, after a whole day of sightseeing, eating, buying souvenirs, its time to go back hotel and relax. Of course being the princess, Ashley get to use the "Bath Tub" first,.... heheheheh.

We have more places to visit the follwing day,... so, to be continued.
