Melaka

Melaka was a touristy kind of place, but still managed to have quite a relaxed feel about it.
Here are some tourists enjoying some of the very colourful local transport. Everyone of these bicycle rickshaws ( for which I cannot recall the 'local' name) was a work of art in Melaka.
This canal ran past my guesthouse. Despite the glossed up tourist buildings nearby, there was still evidence of the disparity of wealth in Malaysia. Some beautiful tropical flowers seen in the local museum complex.

A fruit seller. I loved eating pineapple, already cut and peeled into bite-sized pieces, from one of these stalls.
