Malacca Trip 2018 - Bye Bye Malacca

Finally, Day 4, we need check out of the hotel around 12 pm. As the time for us to board the coach bound for Singapore is around 2 pm, we left our luggage with the hotel concierge and went for last minute shopping. The place to board the coach is where we alight when we first arrived, is the bus parking bay just next to the hotel. The journey back to Singapore is around 3 and half hour and a rest stop at Yong Peng for some early dinner.

Day 3, after a nice buffet breakfast, we went for some sightseeing and shopping.

Melaka Maritime Museum - Melaka Maritime Museum is a replica of the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship said to have been carrying loot plundered from Malacca when it sank off the coast of Malacca on its way back to Portugal. Opened to the public in 1994, this unique museum is an enlightening trip back into Malacca’s past. Read more from website.

Opposite the museum is a small shopping market where they sold dried goods, clothes and souvenirs.

A’Famosa is perhaps Malacca’s best known sightseeing spot.
