Returning to Malaysia - Day 106

So, today we managed to do everything we didn't do yesterday... that is check out (after waving goodbye to our Chinese roomies, and drawing a Malaysian flag to let them know where we were going), take a bus to where you can buy tickets to Melaka, actually buy the tickets, and run to the last bus off the day while the guy is still writing the tickets for you... luckily the bus was a bit late, so we made it. (Even though my rinkka has never been this heavy? That probably means my wallet has never been this light...)

Left Singapore, arrived in Malaysia. Again. How strange, the first time we return to a country... the same papers to fill in at the boarder, the same welcoming: Selamat Datang!
However, I'm really happy we did return. I had forgotten how nice the people are, and how colourful they are with all the saris and al-amiras.... and the 'corn in the cup'. Ahh.

After three hours on a luxury bus (the seats were wider than most beds we've slept in, AND gave you massage! Do I need to say more? Freezing though, like all busses) we arrived in the cute town of Melaka. We live in Chinatown (World Heritage town) and the place is packed with veg restaurants... except they were all closed today. Doesn't matter, I like this town, and we might stay a day more before changing countries once again... we'll see.

Don't know why the posts with pictures of Sophia's last days and pics from Tioman have deleted themselves, but will try to upload more pictures tomorrow, if we stay put.
