Malacca - Malaysia

Posted by squeakylee | 20th October 2006

After another fantasticly speedy connection from KL via taxi – bus – taxi to Malacca, Malaysia’s Cultural Capital, we checked into a nice enough big room for a bargain price of 28 Ringit. Unfortunately, it didn’t have air con, and the heat was stifling. After walking to reception, my shirt was soaked. Sheesh. We asked yer man to keep an auld air con room for us for the morrow and decided we’d have to make do until then.

We headed out onto hazy streets and found shelter in another shopping mall. It’s no wonder they like to shop a lot in Malaysia & Singapore, it’s too bloody hot to be wandering around anywhere without air conditioning. Phewf.

Later we sweated buckets while trying to use the internet and had a terrible time trying to get some sleep in the heat.

The next morning, we gleefully left our bags in reception while a small man cleaned up an air con room for us. We went out and hit a vegetarian food place – only the second one we’ve been in since we’ve been away.
