It was hard to tear ourselves away from the great shopping in Kuala Lumpur but we had to get moving again but this time only two hours down the road to the old Portuguese settlement of Melacca. We enjoyed a relaxing day there but with Sara starting to feel much better I began to get prickly heat over my back and legs, probably due from the heat and humidity - the combination of which I am still not completely used to. Unfortunately my lovely tan is tempered with red spots. Sara's tan is ever so subtle but she is mighty proud of it and reminds me constantly how brown she is. CENSORED: In all honesty though, she is still the same colour as my bottom.

SINGAPORE SLING
Now we find ourselves very close to the equator and about to cross it tomorrow. Singapore is a nice place but it's no time to waste if you're on a budget. This is by far the most expensive internet cafe we have used on our trip so we are limiting our time to only an hour. We have only one night here which gives us enough time to see Raffles and the waterfront before flying over the equator to Jakarta tomorrow afternoon. We managed to hastily arrange a cheap flight so thankfully we can avoid the rodent infested boats across to Sumatra. Again our plan is not to stay in Jakarta long either as the main attraction is Borobudur and Prambanan in the center of Java.
