Last destination before heading back down to Singapore is Malacca.
The town has become immensely more popular in the 9 years since I saw it last. It was always a tourist draw, but the number of tourists today greatly overwhelms that of my previous visit.
The historical old-town is still much the same, but the area around it has had a growth spurt. The street of small guesthouses and restaurants where I based myself in 2011 is gone, replaced by an enormous shopping mall.
But the old town is still beautiful. The museums run the gamut from wonderful to dreadful. And the food is always wonderful.
A fitting last fling for this trip.
