20th January 2010, Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia
Up today packing and moving on again, back to Meleka but this time with Gabrielle coming along for the ride.
As much as we enjoyed the Hotel Puri our budget dictates that we need to start spending less, so back on the net and Trip Advisor (highly recommended) and a well reviewed but cheaper hotel was the Fenix Inn, we already knew where it was and although not in the really cool Chinese area, it’s right next to the malls so all that will happen is we will be doing the same routes but in the other direction.
The van was waiting for us, the Malaysians do seem to be like us Brits as far as promptness goes – Germans or Americans could do with a few lessons.
The drive back to Melaka was again a joy, the Malaysian roads we have encountered so far are smooth and not to busy (except obviously in the centre of KL).
We were dropped at the hotel and soon had our bags in our rooms.
The Fenix Inn (Pheonix) does not have any of the beauty or charm of the Puri, but as hotels go, it is clean, the reception were very efficient and all the staff seem smiley. The rooms are small but clean and it does have the benefit of wired internet (although it is very slow)!
Once settled in the hotel we all set off towards Jonkers Walk (china town area) and to the Limau Limau café which is simply a relaxing and cool place to eat and drink.
Then a walk around the town through the mall (much cooler than walking the street way).
For the evening it was again Jonkers Walk and we had food and drinks at the Geographers Café. Very tired we headed back to the room for Boston Legal, we are getting dangerously close to the last episode.
