On first glance Malacca seemed pretty interesting. It was a port on the South West of Perninsula Malaysia with its own china town and old village square with many relics left from the British ownership (pre war).

There is a replica of an old spanish ship which is part of the navel museum and had lots of old war relics.

The rest of the town was pretty similar to Avonmouth! (including the waterfront). Not the sort of place you would want to spend time sunbathing and swiming! Although there were lots of small mudskippers in the estuary and on the mud flats.

The weather was hot, but extremely hazy (we found out later it was due to the forest fires in Sumatra).
