Batu Phat – Malacca – 100 km
My digs included breakfast, which came as a surprise. Then, following
a decent plate of fried rice, the way led north to Malacca past plenty
of stands to quench my thirst. Despite the scorching weather I
soldiered onwards and eventually arrived at bustling Malacca.
Malacca was home to Ringo’s Foyer Guest House and Warmshower
host, Howard. The place was a cool hostel where cycle tourists could
overnight on the roof terrace free of charge.
The next morning, a jog along the river revealed an entirely new
perspective of Malacca. The sweltering weather made me appreciate
my rooftop spot, as it offered a slight breeze.
