Since our flight was arranged to land in the evening, our first-day travel plan was short as well as sweet: decrease our bags at our friend’s place, have dinner at Makansutra Gluttons’ Bay, as well as do a night walk along Singapore River. however no matter exactly how basic something may be, it still indicates nothing to a worn out soul. We ended up rescheduling the night walk as well as just have a long conversation with Mimi as well as catch up on what had gone on in our lives considering that the last time we saw each other.
Day 2: Malacca – Dutch Square as well as River Cruise
Our second day started quite early. Our bus to Malacca was arranged at 8:45am however we were already at the wrong side of the terminal at 7:30am. After 30 minutes, we realized there might have been a error as well as asked around up until we discovered the ideal area at around 8:35am. Still, whenwe arrived, the bus had already left. Apparently, our booking did not show on the bus agency’s system that they believed the passengers were complete. We had to take a bus to Kuala Lumpur as well as switch to the ideal bus at the border.
