Malaccalacca Ding Dong

Great day today, moseying round the small streets of the town. After a cosy night in the guest house, with a savage storm going on outside, we went hunting for breakfast. But not before another sun blinded photo (seems to be common!)

We ate in a gorgeous little antiques shop, that was using the antiques as the tables for customers. Really interesting setting and tasty, pastries and coffee.

 

We then spent an hour or so in the Baba and Noyna Heritage Museum, which is a fascinating history of social and cultural self-isolation. The resulting design, food and culture makes for great reading, and the museum was full of pictures and items telling the stories throughout the 7 generations of their history. Appropriately, cameras were banned inside, so you’ll have to take our word for it!

After the museum, we had a spot of lunch in a highly recommended spot called the The Daily Fix. The building (like many here it seems) had a stunning 10 foot square open topped courtyard smack bang in the middle, allowing light and rain to pass into the middle of a 40-50ft terrace location. sitting under the natural light, with plants all around, is really relaxing, and creates a lovely atmosphere. Food was fantastic too.

After lunch, we wandered around some more, popped back to the guest house for a chill. we had spotted a massive Tesco on our travels, so span out in the car to pick up some odds and ends for our travels. We finished up the day with a late meal on Jonker street, in a lovely open air cafe.

Leaving you today with a picture of Lily looking older than her years, settling into her book.
