Today aboard National Geographic Orion we visited the Malaysian city, Malacca. In the 16th century, this port on the strategic Malacca Strait was positioned at the fulcrum of the world, linking the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the height of the global spice trade. We saw the ruins of the old Portuguese fort, walked Jonker Street in Chinatown, and rode bike rickshaws back to port!
