Museums

Wednesday, 17 May 2006
Malacca (Melaka), here we come! Only a day's visit for the time being! Arrived at the History Museum and Ethnography Museum. Here is Uncle Ni posing in front of it.

Nearby is the Christ Church, which I understood has been there since 1753.

A windmill opposite the road!

Trishaws offering to take you for a ride through Melaka.

Another museum building in the vicinity.

A ship in the middle of the city - a Maritime Museum.
