Melaka – A Road Trip
We took a 2 hour bus ride north to spend 3 nights in Melaka (or Malacca). We booked into the Jonker Boutique Hotel right in the heart of Chinatown. We had a nice room with A/C and private bathtub for soaking that overlooked the famous perfo…
BACK ABOARD ENVOY ON MARMARIS
We had a long, but event-free journey from Auckland, and arrived back in Marmaris, southern Turkey, on Saturday morning, finding that everything aboard Envoy, out of the water on the hardstand was pretty how much we’d left her four months ago – clean…
