Sultanate Palace
My first mission is to visit the Sultanate palace,we came out from the hotel and walked towards the north according to the map.Explore the area first and since it is my first time to Malacca...I'm extreme careful of where I 'ENTER' and 'EXIT'...luckily things go on very smoothly according to the map...no COMPLICATIONS.
