Melaka

Spent 7 days in Melaka... quite a nice first stop...
I did a lot of walking.. got lost a couple of time, but always found my way back... somehow!!
A nice looking temple on the island close by..
Saw some huge kite flying
Didn't try one of these China town markets
Saw a Kung Fu guy put his finger through a coconut...to fast for the camera!!
wanted me to throw playing cards and coconuts at him!!

Did a Chinese tea courseMet a heap of fellow travellers
And ate some wonderful home cooked food Watched the two crazy Russian girls dance in the streetThey also got into some different religious rituals
This was interesting...
Went into a pub / restaurant
Washed our feet and sat at a table with our feet in a pool while drinking a few beers
All these little fish come up and nibble on the dead skin on your feet..
tickles a bit but is very pleasant and they do a good foot cleaning job.

I ate a century egg (100 year old egg).. don't have evidence of that one!!
Rode a bike around for a week..
I met a nice Vietnamese girl and took her riding for a day.. She had a nice singing voice too.. Here is some of the loacl wild life..the lizard on the bank is pretty big, but the one in the water was really big...
Here is one on the side lazing in the sun...Here is another one wrapped around a building...A group of locals playuing Majong..
Check out the tight staircase on the back of the building...
