Malacca Malaysia

ABBEY: Another trip outside Singapore. We had a day tour only. We went our way at 30 minutes past 5 in the morning. We reached Johor Bahru at 7am. For 19 Malaysian Ringgit we boarded a 3-hour bus ride. This is the best time to sleep. We alighted the bus at Melaka Sentral and proceeded in the ticket counter to purchase ticket on the way back. We had our brunch at one of their hawkers for RM 12 for all our food. We hired a taxi for RM 20 and dropped us in the tourist destination proper. 

We visited their numerous museums like philatelic and maritime. We struck a pose like Jack and Rose in one of their warship :) Another attraction is their revolving tower at RM 20 per person. We also tried A&W at their megamall. 

As the day is about to end we headed to Melaka Sentral and had dinner. At Johor Bahru we cheked in at McDonald's for a snack in preparation for the travel back home.

WILL: After a long planning to go here, hehe. Thanks to Katherine, step by step she told me how to go here. 
      3am, we already muster our feet to have a blast and go out of the country. Hehe. At Queens Bus Station exactly 530am we boarded the first bus that took us to Johor Bahru Malaysia. It was 45mins travel when we reached Woodlands and alight for the immigration and customs stop of Singapore. Same bus, we hop in and 10mins alight again for immigration of Malaysia. Hopped on the same bus then pass 30mins, we alighted at Larkin Bus Terminal. And from there, we are really in different country   hehe. 
      At Larkin, you can see many bus companies that offers their services to Malacca and KL. I really chose this and not the coach one because, I know, this will be a great adventure and lesser cost. Haha. The coach from SG to Malacca is $22 one way, but on this it only costs us $10.90. Hehe. Good choice, is it? Hehe. From Larkin to Malacca is 3hours but do not worry, just sleep. Nice leh. Hehe. Arrived at Malacca Sentral 10am and we ate in a buffet-like restaurant, we put a lot of food in our plate and you know how much it costs us? For 4 pax, we were billed 11RMB($5). So amazing. Hehe. After filling up our tummies, we hailed a taxi and to go to the tourist stop for $20 and I haggle up to $18. Hehe. 
     Malacca seems cannot move on from the past. Haha. But I am saying this on a positive note lah. The red church, the trickshaw, and the remains of forts is all amazingly still there. We are pretty sad when we saw the Bukit St Paul, vandalism is all over and there are many vendors in the place. 
     Museums are all over, here they showcase the life on the rise and fall of this land. We also go up and up and up with their Melaka Revolving Tower, this we saw the vibrant colors of their buildings the busy tourists roaming around the city. 
This is really nice place to visit. No wonder why almost all people here in Singapore goes here. We got home 10PM. Hehe. Tiring but fulfilling. :D All in all we spend 160$ for 4pax in this trip :)
