I stepped back in time when we visited this UNESCO world heritage site that looks out over the Straits of Melacca.\u00a0 This town, which is situated about two and a half hours\u2019 drive south of the capital Kuala Lumpur, is filled with history and many other influences.\u00a0 Once we arrived in Melacca a lot of things looked familiar yet slightly different which immediately reminded me of my home country, South Africa.\u00a0 Then it dawned upon me that this is where a lot of the influences in South Africa come from as a lot of South Africans are of Malay decent.<\/p>\n
We had a weekend to spare after hubby concluded his business trip to Kuala Lumpur so we hopped on one of the many long distance buses which runs between KL and Melacca.<\/p>\n
