Day Trip to Melaka – October 2014



Throughout its history, Melaka has seen the Portuguese, British, Japanese and the Dutch, all putting their own touch into the second smallest state in Malaysia.
The government’s commitment to the preservation of historical legacy and heritage, finally declared Melaka a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 2008.

















What did MR R and I think of Melaka?
Actually, we were disappointed; a day trip is all you would need.  We loved the walks along the canal, and we loved walking the back streets.  However, Jonker’s Walk was nothing like, we had imagined, just one busy street of tourist holiday shops.  We could have been in Skegness, South End or Blackpool.   There is a city centre with shopping malls, but when you have KL, why do you need to look more.
It takes two hours by coach -  A return ticket costs- RM 25 (£5.00 / 500 Rupees)
