Johore to Malacca is not that far. it takes only 2 hours coz Muar is very close to malacca. we refil the NGV there at ayer keroh. Fyi, in Ayer Keroh we can find 2 station with NGV. so you may need to survey about the stations prior your traveling to the destinations. In Malacca, the first place to go to is of course The Information Centre or can also get the information about the interesting places in Malacca at the Zoo Malacca (like what we did..keh kehkeh..).. so here s the map of Malacca. I forgot where did i put the original MAP. but basically, u can google it.

These are few snaps in Malacca town and some also from cameron highlands(our next destination) (the night view was taken in front of the Hard Rock Cafe Malacca, and National Memorial also in the city of Malacca. The one with the Tiger and mascot also in Malacca were taken at the Zoo Malacca.

Since there are many places to visit. so, you have to plan the schedule. we reached thereat about 1 pm, we went to the Crocordile Park(Taman Buaya Melaka).

After that we went to the hotel for check in at the River Song Residence. it cost RM98.00/nite. it is suitable for backpackers with the sharing toilets (outside of rooms), 2 single beds. the room is quite small but its ok, coz we just want to sleep not for a long stay anyway. and the most important is we can see the cruise right from the balcony. and thank god, we chose this room! ahaks! (but to find this residence is quite confusing because both of us were not familiar with the roads, and it took 2 times to look for it. Tell you what, the structure of the buildings are a lil bit like in Paris. all with the signboards and most of the people there are chinese. on the way to the hotel, we passed by the china town (like the one in Petaling street), and it called Jonker Street.

Then at night we went for dinner at Asam Pedas (forgot the restaurant name but the asam pedas was awesome!.. famous one in Melaka (the restaurant was located at the corner where we can find asam pedas, with a lot of tables anrrangged along the street (i remember, once a week there will be pasar malam /night market at this location. )then we went for river cruise (the pix are as at the top of this post )

how to get there by road (i cant explain much coz i m not good in explaining those streets, but i remembered we park our car at the car park very close to that place:-

Location to Catch the Cruise

There are two jetties, one at each end of the route. You can begin the cruise from either jetty:

Muara Jetty, next to Quayside Heritage Centre, close to the Maritime Museum easily recognisable by the replica of the Portuguese ship Flor De la Mar. From here the cruise takes you upstream as far as Taman Rempah jetty where the boat turns around and brings you back to the starting point.The round trip takes 45 minutes and covers 9 km.The boat'srecorded commentary will begin on the return leg of your journey (from Taman Rempah to Muara Jetty).
Taman Rempah Jetty, where a small spice garden is located, next to the Hang Jebat Bridge linking Jalan Tun Mutahir to Jalan Tun Sri Lanang. From here the cruise travels downstream as far as Muara jetty where the boat turns around and takes you back to the starting point. The round trip takes 45 minutes and covers 9 km. You will hear the recorded commentary as far as Muara jetty. On the way back you might be treated to Abba's greatest hits or a similar soundtrack.

Although I saw some posters advertising a hop-on, hop-off route, that option does not appear to be available at present and you can only do a round trip with no disembarking en-route. That's a pity.

After finished river cruising, we went to the Jonker Street (
