goat running off

Animals run about freely and there are chickens, goats, cows, and even sheep along the country roads of Melaka.

I noticed a goat and its young kid chomping at leaves at one of those grassy fields that double up as a pseudo car park. Just as I whipped out my camera, and turned it on (took a while, as I carry a low end digital camera), the goat and its kid started to run off. This left me with a picture of the goat as taken from behind. I wish I had gotten a shot of both of them together!

me with a windmill

You can catch a windmill in Asia, where else but in Melaka. Historically rooted to the Dutch, it comes to no surprise to find relics like this.

The Dutch first arrived in Malacca in April 1606 with the third fleet of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (Dutch East Indies Company) to visit the archipelago, commanded by Cornelis Matelief de Jonge.

In a place like malacca, you'll either love it or hate it.
It can get a bit too quiet and boring for some while others merely enjoy the peace, serenity and solitude the place offers.

Here's me with Vidya not realising we would be dressing so alike!

:)

I truly enjoyed the food of the place as well. recommend seafood - most places will have fresh catch so just walk on by and take your pick.
