75000 Melaka
We woke up pretty early the next morning and
after an early breakfast at a roadside stall near our budget hotel we warmed up
our sneakers and began our morning walk.
Ten minutes into our walk Brendan stumbled on
this old abandoned building. He has a particular fascination for dilapidated structures and couldn’t resist take a peek (or two):
We found our way to Jalan Hang Kasturi and came
across this interesting mural.
This Chinese painting of Eight Running Horses is supposed to
symbolise one’s quest for success and fame.
We then took the Jalan Pasar Bridge across the Melaka river.
This naturally led us to the Stadhuys (the Red Square):
Walking further along the length of the river we came upon a
Maritime Museum, and after paying for the entrance fee Brendan gleefully walked
in. Not particularly interested in matters relating to nautical and maritime Cat
and I refrained, and waited outside while he took his time taking in the
exhibition.
If you notice, the photos above were taken by the both of us (Brendan on and in the vessel, while I "stalked" him from across the street).
We then headed back in the opposite direction.
We walked further along the banks of the river which was lined with shop houses boldly decorated with various murals and street art.
Walking for quite a distance until we almost reached The Shore. Feeling hungry, we turned back and made our way back to the general vicinity of Jonker Street in seach of something to eat.
