You step into a cooled private van in Kuala Lumpur and watch the city blur into rice paddies and rubber estates as the road heads southwest — two hours that ease you into the slower rhythm of Malacca. Arriving at the compact historic core, the first thing you notice is the brick-red face of Christ Church and the chatter of vendors on Jonker Street; the river moves quietly through town, daring you to follow its curve.
