Hi All

Thought I'd put on quick post as I am at the computer. We are still in Melaka and still haven't done much. We are going to go Chinatown later today for a wander around and to soak up some of the atmosphere here in Melaka! We wonder if Melaka is not as bustling as it used to be, what with even the sound and light show no longer on!! It certainly seems like the kind of place people use as a stop off on route to somewhere else. But it has been good to relax and take it easy.

The backpacker place is great and we've met some really nice people there. A couple of Scottish girls called Lucy and Sharon have been very adventurous and did the trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Beijing, then overland through Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and now Malaysia. I'd now love to do the Moscow to Beijing route, have to save it for a couple of years time!!! Hello to Lucy and Sharon!!! Its been good to chat with other back packers and swap stories!!

That's all the news for now, Love Penny x
