3 Days 2 Nights Melaka Oct. 2017 Trip (local Malaysian trip)

This is a planning trip proposed by me, and this trip is for anyone who wanted to have a relaxing trip, not rushing but just enough. Hope it would be a good reference to all. All the place names can be found in Google Map.

For the hotel stay, we will be going to stay at different hotel. So prepared to check-out on the second day. For the first night stayed, I planned to book a hotel which have breakfast included, so that we can stayed longer at hotel. On the second night, I planned to book a hotel nearby Jonker Street, so that we can stayed longer around that area.

Day 1 - Friday:

Is a weekday, in order to avoid traffic jams during the rush hour, late depart is necessary. Say, start depart on 10.00am from Klang Valley. Head towards Seremban for lunch.

10.00am --- 11.30am reach Seremban.

Seremban, target for Lou Shu Fun (老鼠粉), Two place to have

After Lorong Seni, we head ourself to Klebang for a chilling coconut shake. Driving duration is about 1 hour 30 minutes. 

1.00pm --- 2.30pm reach Klebang.

So happen that Klebang coconut shake will only open at 2.30pm on Friday. Due to it's fame, we may need to spend about an hour here.

2.30pm --- 3.30pm, for having coconut shake.
