helloooo malacca

after missing our exit on the north-south highway, driving 30km beyond malacca and getting fantastically lost, we finally picked out way back by the scenic route. constant traffic light interruptions and general frustration aside, by the time we rolled into our hotel we could've eaten a horse.

stepping into the lobby was like traveling back in time and the industrial strength a/c was a welcomed respite from the oppressive heat that is our equatorial burden to bear. was immediately distracted by the old photographs, paintings and maps on display and soon forgot my annoyance at being directionally challenged. 

and then there was the prospect of a massive lunch within walking distance from the hotel! and the view of the river and low rise houses more than made up for my being mad at the world that our two hour journey took us four hours instead.

have some photos to share from my brief 36h in malacca, will be posting a few a day for the rest of the week!

p/s yay to the 100th post on m0remysterymeatballs! hurrah :D
