The tour lasted until 3pm. After that, we went back to Kuala Lumpur via the same bus. Travel time was approximately 3 hours. We had a late afternoon snack at Old Town White Coffee in Bukit Bintang area.
We rewarded ourselves with duck and roasted pork at night. We had fun visiting the historical place of Malacca. Next entry will be all about Batu Cave and more!
