Malaka - Day 2: Church visit
We rose early so we wouldn’t miss the breakfast buffet. There was a long line of food, mainly various kinds of curry, rice, or noodles—not my usual breakfast! They did have my favorite choc flakes though so I won’t complain.
We had to check out of our hotel by midday so we spent the better part of the morning packing up. Then we drove around town a bit more, and stopped at a pretty little church—The one where my mom and dad were married! I found out at this point that my parents were married earlier than previously thought, but they married again because my Father’s mother insisted they get married in a church. So they did.
The place was cute, with little stained glass windows. The most interesting thing was that from outside you could go into this kind of underground chamber with the tombs of the two priests that had opened the place. There was a plaque telling about their lives and what they did. They had both died very young (30) of disease. Apparently life expectancy was pretty low back then.
Before we left town we had a delicious lunch with lotsa seafood. Drove back to KL, and there watched “Madagascar”…I like to move it, move it…there was not a single kid in the cinema. Everyone was at least sixteen or so.
