Once fuelled up it was time to explore. We started with the shopping centre next door but once you've seen one you've seen them all and there wasn’t anything special in this one, so we decided to climb the hill next to our hotel to see the church at the top.
When we got there the church was more of a ruin but the view from the hilltop was really good and we spotted a pirate ship a few blocks over, which we then made our next stop.
The pirate ship was part of the maritime museum and was a replica tall ship. Just as we reached the ship the heavens opened and a monsoon sent us fleeing into the small market across the road.
After looking around the usual tat, Samantha noticed these small round puck shaped things. She asked what they were so the kind lady opened up a packet to let us try them, they were sweets made with coconut flour. We quite liked them and thought it was so nice of the woman to let us try them, that we bought some.
Once the rain had stopped we had to make a quick stop for Samantha to change shoes then we walked down to Chinatown to take a look at the temple. The temple wasn't really that exciting, but I did get shouted at for taking photo inside the temple so we decided to leave and go get an ice cream.
Then we rounded out the day with a group meal in the hotel restaurant and early to bed after our busy day.
