Spent a long tiring day walking the Unesco world Heritage area of Melaka City, a very popular destination for Malaysion tourists. Because of its past history there is a large range of cultures. Portugese, Dutch, British, Indian, Chinese and Malay. The preservation of these cultures has earned its Heritage status.
