Ruth's Ramblings

Melaka, Malaysia

A couple days later, we took a flight to Singapore and then took a bus to Melaka, Malaysia. It's a small town with lots of history. Armed with our Lonely Planet book, we took a walking tour (boy was it hot!!) and saw some of the sights. Here are a couple clipits:

At the town square, Christ Church and the famous clock tower:


Me at what's left of St. Paul's Church (built by the Portugese in 1521) - we walked around looking at all the tomb markers and it was really fascinating to read about the history (all the Portugese and British influence).
