Have Perut Will Travel...: MKZ Day 1 │ KL to MELAKA: KKKL • Panorama Melaka

Impromptu Trip!

Several things happened during the week that left me mentally drained. I needed to get away from Kuala Lumpur, so I spoke with my boss on Wednesday — and was granted a day’s leave.

We then made a short dash to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) to buy our bus tickets. The fare was RM13.40 one way per person (≈ USD/EUR3).

Getting to TBS

This morning, we hailed a 6 seater Grab car for RM31.00 (≈ USD7/EUR6) to TBS. With time to spare, we had breakfast at Restoran Nasi Kandar TBS.

We all had Roti Canai, and with a round of drinks, our simple breakfast came to RM12.00 (≈ USD3/EUR2).

The Bus Ride to Melaka

After some confusion, we eventually caught the KKKL bus to Melaka from Gate 12 at 9:38am. The trip was smooth and uneventful.

We arrived at Melaka Sentral at 11:25am and walked over to Platform 17, where we boarded a Panorama Melaka bus to the Bandar Hilir Police Station. The young bus driver asked us to pay RM2.00 each (≈ USD/EUR0.40), though the printed receipt clearly stated the fare was RM1.60.

Checking In

Half an hour later, we arrived at our first Airbnb of this trip — an apartment within Garden City Serviced Apartments.

Catch you all soon!
