Geographer Cafe. This seemed an appropriate place to eat and relax in. They were very friendly and served great local and international dishes. 

Margaret in bicycle rickshaw, Melaka, Malaysia

We enjoyed slowly pedalling around in Melaka being informed and entertained by our guide in his magnificent floral bicycle rickshaw. Having him alongside us meant we could hold a conversation with him as he explained the various points of interest.

Monitor Lizard, Melaka, Malaysia

There were many Monitor Lizards in the river flowing through the town. This was the biggest which was about 2 metres long. They seemed to be hunting the mud flipper fish which lived in holes on the mud flats.
