It was a busy port for the spice trade during the 16th Century, and was colonised by the Portuguese then by the Dutch then by the British - so it has a mish-mash of charming old world architecture. It reminded us of Macau, Hanoi and Bruge – all rolled into one. Really cute.
On the freeway to Melaka we were passed – at speed – by fifty (yes,
50!) late model Ferraris all in one fast convoy. Apparently the Singapore
rich-wanker club goes for a Sunday drive in Malaysia as there aren’t many long
straight roads on their tiny island. The sound of the engines was so low you could
feel it as they passed. I tried not to be impressed but couldn’t help it.
