Short Holiday In Malacca (Melaka) Part 1

Drove to malacca(melaka) from Singapore during the May Day holiday. The distance from Singapore is about 200km. Took me about 1.52 hours to arrive Malacca. Journey was smooth throughout the North-South Highway.

Toll fee for using the highways, estimated to be RM30.00.

Where to stay in Malacca(Melaka)? Any budget hotel in Malacca(Melaka)? Yes, there is.
I stayed at a budget hotel called Fenix Inn, costing RM80 per night (additional RM30 for public holidays and weekends). The room is clean and no foul smell.
Every air-conditioned room has got a bathroom attached, tv, internet access(using network cable) and clean towels.

Driving direction to Fenix Inn:
The hotel is also near the historical site in Malacca, it is actually quite easy to locate, once you arrive in Malacca town, look for Dataran Pahlawan, a new mall or Mahkota Parade Shopping Mall.
Once you are able to see Dataran Pahlawan on your left, drive to the end of the road till you reach a T-junction. Turn right at the T-junction and then keep left and turn left. Actually you are making a U-turn to Jalan Merdeka as the road is a one-way traffic. You should see Kurnia Insurance office on your right before turning left into Jalan Merdeka where the hotel is.
