The Information Centre was pretty and the entrance was welcoming. There were lovely plants and nice gardens.
The building was white with columns and colonial type windows at the end of a path flanked by sculpted trees and timber seating. And was deliciously cool inside after the heat of the day. I asked the ladies there for advise on where to get a fish pedicure. Fish Spa is the correct name and they directed me to Berjaya Times Square. I did ask were there any others (I remember people back home had mentioned a few in and around Chinatown). Their response was yes, there were others, but the one in Berjaya was the one they would recommend - it was a big Spa and very clean.
This is just a small section of the beautifully laid gardens that surround the Info Centre.
This fountain was to the right in the building towards the front and you could hear the tinkling of water as it gently flowed.
The sign nest to the cart reads - The bullock cart which at one time was the main mode of transportation for the rich in Malacca, is unlike those found elsewhere. The carts are beautifully decorated, with bright colours and trappings and have the shape of a pointed roof, similar to the horn of a bull. The bullock carts are believed to have been introduced by the Indian merchants in Malacca Sultanate around the 15th century.
