Melaka

Although a very small town it has been one my favorite stops so far. Melaka is a small port city between KL and Singapore, and one of the main trading cities in Malaysia during the Colonial era. After belonging to Portuguese, Dutch, English and Japanese this beautiful colonial city has many sights and heritage to show. Because the city is incredibly preserved it has been named a UNESCO world heritage site.
Among my favorite sights were the old Portuguese fort on top of the hill, where the jesuit preist Francisco Xavier past away and buried before moved to Goi in India.

Here I also enjoyed some great hospitality from a couple of Malay brothers who owned the guesthouse where I spent both nights. I got to enjoy tome time with locals and have many conversations with them as well as playing with their very friendly rabbit Mr. Playboy
