Melaka

A few months ago I travelled to Melaka with a luxury bus (but it was cheap (usd$5) from Kuala Lumpur it's two hours away.  Melaka has a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been occupied  by the Portugese, Dutch and the British. All these have left many traces of the colonial on the city. I  found the Dutch quarter it's  the starting point of the heritage trip. there are many great place to sell  antiques, shop of craft and some Chinese restaurant . I found a nice a place for lunch and it was quite popular for noodle and very cheap ($3)  at the middle of Jonker Street.  
 After lunch I headed straight old town included The Old Fort, The ruins of St Paul's Church, The Dutch Cemetery, Dutch Square, Christ Church, and the Museum of Architecture.  Ancestors  in the colonial years buried traces of  honor and disgrace traces on the beautiful hill overlooking the straits of Malacca. Now, the old church remains the bare bones, and  only the ancient tombs of our ancestors has remained in a place .
However, because of the weather so hot I could not walk blindly. Let's take a short break in the middle on the looking . Great place really is a canal. I took a cruise along the river Melaka. Beautiful riverside scenery pass by, as shown. It feels different from Venice. For Melaka to experience, one day seems too short
  Backpackers guesthouse "the Discovery" seems to be quite popular for backpackers. if so it will be ok

 Still there was lovely.
