The drive to Malacca was alright, with Zylan fast asleep. But the roads were pretty wet, we were hoping that it wasn't raining in Malacca and thankfully it wasn't. But the traffic, for a small(er) town, was absolutely CRAzy! After the exit toll to Malacca, we spent more than an hour trying to get to the town center and still have not arrived! Not knowing the directions, we were practically at the mercy of the traffic jam.
Zylan was awake and getting very restless in the car, refusing to stay in his car seat.
Maybe he is getting hungry too...chewing on the wet wipes....hai...
Lucky thing Daddy spotted a chicken rice shop along the way (as we were stationary in the jam) and we decided to park the car and get out for lunch. By then it was already past 2pm. Public holiday and we still need to pay for parking tickets!!Finally got the scratchy cards and we headed off for chicken rice ball.
No highchair available for Zylan so he has to sit on Daddy's lap for the time being.
Finally got one when the family on the next table with a baby left. Zylan looking bored and tired.
The food was pretty good here, apparently it is frequent by the locals - what a chance. We drop by the nyonya restaurant next door but only to find that their kitchen were already closed... :-(
So we made a move and headed down the street towards the historical sites. We decided to park our car along the street and walk down.
We first passed by the St Francis Xavier's church.
And then we walk pass some shoplots that were painted in bright red.
We arrived at the red clock tower.
I think this is Stadhuys - which is basically more red buildings. It was getting seriously hot.
Zylan was also getting more and more sleepy - was past his afternoon nap time.
At the entrance heading up to St Paul's church.
Half-way up, stop to take a pic with the view of the church at the top. Actually more like Mummy needed a rest :-p
Up at the church ruins was crowded with people/tourists.
Was too lazy to walk down all the way to A-Famosa. Can actually see it from here, but Mummy blocking the view in this pic.
Here you can see the A-Famosa - very tiny from here.
Zylan getting extremely tired, so we had to make a move. Long walk back to the car....
We got ourselves a drink and we just couldn't leave Zylan staring at us and having none. First taste of 100+ and he just can't get enough of it :-p
