We had a fun filled weekend gateaway last weekend to Malacca having our first experience homestay at SLV Small Luxury Villa.We have not visited Malacca city for almost two years and the kids are excited for this travelling moments coz I am telling them that my sisters children are joining us for the stay. It is also our long waited sis gathering moment and of course our family bonding time together.
