Nearby, this brown unit is a mixed wooden in the front and has a full brick-walled extension at the back

EXPLORAQUEST MELAKA - KAMPUNG MORTEN - 15.2.2009

If you want to do a night sight-see by the river, you can take the river boat and it goes all the way to Kampung Morten. These kampung houses are located on the upper part of Kampung Morten and before the boats make a u-turn

Alternatively, you can drive and park your car at Medan Bunga Raya and walk along the riverside walkway


This lighted floral decor on the lampost on the walkway is probably inspired by the animated lighted ones on display behind the Flor dela Mar Museum

What's there to do?
1. Night photography, bring a camera stand
2. Have a coffee or tea at Medan Bunya Raya food court
3. Go visit some of the houses if it's not too late (oh oh you will have to find a way to cross the river from Medan Bunga Raya as the new bridge has not been built yet
4. Look out for the Chinese shop that is well known for prawn noodles and large curry puffs

Now who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Melaka?
