DRIVING HOLIDAY

An exciting destination that’s easily reached by car is the holy grail for
those residing in Singapore. For some beach action, folks zip to the port in
Mersing. For shopping, Kuala Lumpur is the place. For the countryside, it’s
a road trip to Cameron Highlands. And, for history, it’s all about Malacca.
Having tried many of the above, and with the adventurous mother of my
boyfriend stopping by for a short visit en route to Australia, we decided to
get behind the wheel and whisk her to Malacca for a weekend. Not only
is the town a wonderfully colourful UNESCO World Heritage site, you can
get there in just a few hours.
