We had spent the last two days in urban overload in Kuala Lumpur, visiting the astonishing Petrona Twin Towers, the vital Central Market where I got a golden Buddha statuette for my Aunt Helen who wants to place it in her yard by the Bird feeder in Orlando Florida for good luck. the city gleams in modernity and sophistication, the food wonderful and the experience pleasant. But maybe a bit too pleasant for Jackie, who wanted to go diving off Sipandan Island, and I was happy to accompany her and stay in the boat, as alas I do not dive (or at least I did not then) but it was rather windy on the day of the dive so we went to Malacca instead when we asked at the desk of one of the luxury hotels Malaysia boasts. They told us Malacca would be a good choice and we were up for some adventure so we decided to go. We found ourselves on Jonker Street, cruising the cool shops, and we needed souvenirs for an army of envious stay at homes. We got everyone the clogs that are well known to the Malacca insider, of which I now claim to be. Maybe they have these clogs because the Dutch were here once (where weren’t they?) and some sea shells with Malacca scrawled on them. We got hungry predictable and saw a little stall with lots of locals gathered around. they were selling grilled shrimp and other sea delicacies, as well as the curry noodles, and we were in lunch heaven. We became very thirsty in the tropical warmth and stuck to bottled water. It is not very adventurous, but we thought it better to be safe than to be sorry. The narrow streets beckoned us onward, and we walked and sought more adventures inn Malacca.
