2015-2-19 Chinese New Year in Melaka

Scott preparing for cold and uncomfortable bus ride

At least there was McDonald's breakfast at the end of it when we got in at 6:30am! Since we had the time we decided to walk the 4.6 km to our accommodation. Happened across the beautiful river walk

                           Old Dutch architecture

spot the monitor lizard!

Then had some maritime museum time on an awesome boat

And the big water wheel

Portuguese buildings

My back was about to fall out by this point so we had an early lunch and chess game to recover!

Then off for walk around town looking at shops and temples

Awesome decked out rickshaws with music blaring!                 

 another chinese new year coke can

                              anything to attract customers!

amazing Malaysia clouds

Then just as our tiredness levels were rising we happened across a quaint coffee shop and the guy working gave me a mini lesson on making coffee! And there was half a scrabble game...I just didn't have the patients!

And a Teh Tarik macaroon! (Teh Tarik is a type of foamy tea famous in SE Asia)
