Trip to Malacca

by JiaShah

As a student, semester break is the best part. After surviving the semester, all I want to do is enjoy my holiday. So, during this semester break I went to Malacca with Baiti's family. I just thought it would be nice to share a few of my holiday moments.

I follow Baiti and family trip to Malacca. About 2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur, to spend some quality time with her family. Malacca is a historic, coastal state in Malaysia with a colorful past. Malacca was ruled by a Sultanate and was taken over by the Japanese during various points of history. 

As a result, Malacca has got several historic sites from different eras, which attracts a lot of tourists. Then, after walking around for sometime we settled on eating at a place 'Asam Pedas'. The food was tasty and affordable. After resting for night, we got up the next day and had a delicious breakfast of Roti Canai and tea. 

Our first main stop was A Famosa, which is an old Portuguese fortress. From there, we walked to the Dutch Square. After that, we went to Menara Taming Sari and the last we went to the Maritime Museum. After taking a tour at the Maritime Museum, we went to Melaka River to take a cruise. 

By the time, we crossed the river, it was late evening. We were tired and hungry from all the walking, so we decided to grab a bite at a nearby jetty of the cruise. After taking several photos, we headed back to the mainland.   

By the time, we returned back to our hotel. After showered, rested and refreshed we off to Jonker Walk. It almost midnight, my foot were hurting from all the walking. When arrived at our hotel, I went to sleep immediately.  So, were to checkout at the noon on the next day, all of us got up early to visit Pantai Klebang and Kuih Kerian Antarabangsa as the last attraction.

All in all, it was a fun trip with lots of photo opportunities and memories. Thanks to Baiti and family because bring me there and join the trip. For me, Malacca is best place to visit and great way to explore historic Malaysia.
