Trip to Malacca

My wife's uncle from Bangkok and his family were in Malaysia for their annual holidays. Some of them stayed back after their tour of Malaysia. We organised a trip to Malacca for them on the fifth day of CNY. It has been along while since I have been to Malacca even though I have always wanted to go their for a photo shoot. So, this trip was a good opportunity for me to shoot the scene of Malacca. The weather was terribly hot but it was worth the trip. The first stop was the Au Yong Hill Resort. The place was a great place for shooting the flowers and "fung shui" sculptures. The onward to other historical places in Malacca city. Lunch was at a Nyonya restaurant called Ole Sayang at Melaka Raya. As usual, the restaurants hiked up the prices of their food to capitalized on the holiday season. The last stop was at St. Paul's Hill. I could not find the ruins of the A'Formosa fort which is near the hill. Maybe it is undergoing restoration work.
