Start of the tour - Melaka

IMG_1385 After crossing the Malaysian border, the first stop was at Melaka, which used to be the main port in South East Asia before Singapore took the crown. The red buildings are from when the Dutch invaded, before the British invaded.

We had a trishaw ride round the town to see the sights including Chinatown and some beautiful temples, including the one below, which was build entirely from wood without any nails holding it together.
