Melaka Trip 2009 (feat. Karen)

Last weekend, my friend Karen and me made a trip to Melaka for some sightseeing! This time, she was my tour guide. It was a 3D/2N vacation and headed down South on the 17th Evening. Took us about 2 hours to get there. Mind you it was my first drive down south, so be gentle on me K?

Luckily, I had Karen as my navigator, and we eventually reached our destination.


Oh did I mention that the basis of the trip was to make use of a lucky draw for a stay at the Naza Hotel? The Deluxe room was HUGE! fitted with a long Sofa, king sized bed, TV and lots and lots of space! As much as I can describe the room. I just realized that I havent got a single picture of the room =.= but trust me its awesome! :)

The first night was just settling in after the journey. We were tired but hungry, and ended up taking a bite at the nearest KFC opened.

My first picture of the day :P


Our first point would be the Dataran Pahlawan @ Benda Hilir.
A Famosa



Stadthuys



The Square


The water mill

The Ship

We had lunch @ Zen when we figured our car was already summoned for not having a coupon. Most expensive parking in Melaka =.=

In the evening we headed to the most celebrated part of Melaka. Jonker Street! As lively as it was, we somehow could not find any nyonya food for at least half an hour.





Nancy's Kitchen, relative of Karen's was apparently visited by Lilian Too before. Great for tasting Nyonya food and snacks.





Next Day we went looking for more Nyonya Heritage places. First Karen took me too the oldest temple in Melaka. Showed me the oldest Mosque next to it too.






Then we went lookng for the Nyonya Heritage Museum, but be didnt go in (had to pay 5 bucks). We went to Hotel Puri which is apparently the hotel that they used to shoot "Little Nyonya"





Really a short trip. But Learnt and experienced alot of History and Culture ...not to mention food ....along the way.....throughly a Beginningless Journey in Heart...

Like to thank Karen for navigating and showing me around Melaka and accomodating to my photographic hobbies ^.^ Thank you so much for your time!

Thank you Readers, hope u enjoyed the entry.

Trius Out..... Next up Singapore and Moscow!
