After arriving in Melaka and spending our first evening trying delicious Malaysian street food at the Jonker Street Night Market, we woke up early with plans to explore the historic part of the city but the weather had other plans.

When the rain finally ended, we grabbed some refreshing coconut ice cream and took pictures at the iconic Kheil's Heritage Building before heading to the Dutch Square to learn more about the historic marooncolored buildings and unique architecture from years of Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonization.

After walking along the riverfront for a while, we found ourselves in Little India, where the smell of beautiful flowers and delicious food had us wanting to book plane tickets to India. On our way back to the city center, we came across a couple of beautiful Chinese temples. We rounded out our day in Melaka the best way we knew how; on a riverboat cruise through the colorful city.

Our first impressions of Melaka were great, and we fell in love with the city, but we would love to know your thoughts! Please let us know if you enjoyed this video by giving it a like, and consider saying hello in the comments.
