Breakfast was provided with the price of our room so we ate at our guesthouse before venturing out.
Our first stop was the Church of Francis Xavier. As we looked inside a choir were practising and they sang Songbird by Eva Cassidy. We sat and listened. Their voices were incredible and the acoustics of the building made the sound really beautiful. We continued our walk through the Dutch Square, which was lovely before visiting an old Dutch church on a hill top.
The whole area is filled with great buildings built by the Dutch or the British. We visited an architecture museum and one celebrating the Malaysian Independence from Britain.
In the river we watched a local man scouring the bottom for old coins from the Portuguese, Dutch and British rule ... A Chinese lunch before an afternoon nap, ready for our World Cup final all nighter!
Early evening we went to a concert held at Christ Church, right in Dutch Square. It was the New Zealand Secondary Schools Choir and they were great. Especially when they performed a Maouri song specially written for them, with actions! After the choir we took a short walk along the weekend night market before heading back to the guesthouse. 3am ... World Cup Final starts!
