Melaka

For the past few days I've been in Melaka and really enjoying it. Am traveling with some people from my Taman Negara trek, we're having a great time together, so tomorrow I'm going with them to Penang where I'll stay until it's time to meet Stef in Bangkok. I've been hobbling around with my jungle walking stick, and everyone here is very concerned about me and its so cute because they are relieved when I tell them that I didn't injure myself in their city. Melaka is a small port town, with very nice old Dutch architecture and a cool Chinatown too, I like it a lot better than KL. And the hospital Andrea escorted me to today was quite nice too! My poor foot, but at least I got some medication for it and he gave me an anti-inflammatory injection so that was nice. Anyway, have enjoyed walking around the city and visiting museums. The only problem is the lack of restaurants- it's Ramadan, so all the muslim owned places are closed during the day. All in all a great town to spend a few days. i'm in a little internet cafe where all these guys are playing computer games and yelling at each other about it so I gotta get out of here before it drives me insane!
