Can I finish a blog in the time it takes M to have a shower?

Melaka was great, very much a tourist town but a place that is still a working town and feels like it has a distinct identity (not just a tourist show home). Back to being sweaty so we made use of the hotel pool. We did some of the many recommended Malaka sites. My favourite was St Paul's Church, on top of a hill, full of old Dutch and Portugese tombstones. Felt like being back in England admiring a castle. However, both of us were feeling a little like that Gary Larsen cartoon character, the fat kid with a little head sitting in a classroom, who asks the teacher 'Please sir, may I be excused? My brain's full.'









Currently about to have breakfast in Johor Baru before we get back on the spaghetti junctions to return the hire car, then get to the bus station to catch a bus over the border to Singapore. Luckily M is a fearless driver.
