A couple of weeks ago, S and I decided to just throw in our over night bag, say sayonara to the kids and leave for a weekend in the historical Malacca. We decided to lepak at Jonker Street. There we checked into a quaint Baba Nyonya hotel called The Baba House. It was a totally different experience staying there. You don't get the usual hotel environment but rather the feeling of stepping back in time of old. Everything is old and traditional but you still get hot shower, TV (no Astro though), air-cond room and 3 in 1 Coffee. And the room was clean too. That night and the morning after we spent our time savouring the hustle-bustle of Jonker Street mostly at Geographer Cafe and visited the antique shops. We ate every couple of hours and I was certain that contributed to a couple of pounds that I have gained lately..heheh...
The room rate was reasonable and we took the Deluxe

Pasar Malam at Jonker Street. Took this pic from the upstairs dining area of Geographer Cafe.
The Chinese Temple in front of Baba House. When we have breakfast at the hotel cafe, we could hear the chanting of prayers...
Sunday morning Flea Market. You could find so many old stuff there.

Not sure what this sculpture is called but it sure was interesting...
