23rd November 2019

Only a 2 hour journey from Singapore to Malacca but several hours more just to cross the border. We hadn’t been aware that the school holidays have just started – hence the exodus.

Having arrived later than than anticipated we had time to freshen up and then head out to Jonker street for the weekend night market. A stroll along the  river with  a very confusing local map meant it took a little longer than anticipated but we were rewarded with colour, atmosphere and great food from the street hawkers.

In the centre of the long road is a stage where karaoke and dance performances abound.

I wish I had Hattie with us, she would have provided the excuse to go on one of the brightly lit tricycles!
