Sightseeing @ Cape Rachado

After Portugal conquered Malacca in 1511, the Portuguese wanted to build a lighthouse to guide its ships. Tanjung Tuan was chosen and the cape was named Cape Rachado by them. Subsequently, a lighthouse was built between 1528 and 1529. As Malacca switched hands to the Dutch and later to the British in 1641 and 1824 respectively, so too did the possession of the structure.

There’s a forest reserve that surrounds the area. It was a refreshing walk for us. Calm & quiet. Not too quiet tho, you can hear the birds chirping.

It was quite a walk through the forest & up the hill. The view from up above was nice. I wouldn’t say magnificent, tho. But you’ll be staring out at the open sea, and down below you’ll see the white waves hitting the shores.

After all the sweats, the best way to end your day is to have some “air batu campur” or ABC, with a bowl of “rojak” & “pisang goreng” by the roadside, with a bunch of crazy cousins. The Malaysian culture.
