(written by Dave) The day started off with another hotel buffet for brekkie.  At the rate we are going pretty soon we are going to have to re-lable this trip “eat without pay”.  Today we ate everything we had yesterday, only to then discover that they would make you a fried egg on the balcony.   … Continue reading Another day, another state – into Selangor (66/6193ks)

(written by Dave) Very low key day at Port Dickson – mostly focused on eating – not all that bad. This will be a quick post... We slept in but were up in time for the complementary breakfast buffet. While not spectacular, it was pretty good and better than most we've seen in Malaysia. They … Continue reading Laying low in Port Dickson

(written by Dave) We were up early this morning at the guesthouse – even used the alarm.  We've been getting lazy (or resting as some would say) the last few days and we had a longish ride ahead of us so we wanted to start early.  After a quick brekkie, the last of our nice … Continue reading On the road again to Port Dickson (77/6127k)

(written by Nancy) We took another couple of days off in Melaka to explore this interesting town.  There is lots to see and do and it is hard to squeeze too much into one day especially when the heat really comes on in the afternoon and all you want to do is sit somewhere airconditioned with … Continue reading More tourist days in Melaka

(written by Dave) It was raining very hard this morning when we got up, complete with flashes of thunder and lightning. A nice day to not be riding. It was raining so hard that we had trouble getting out to brekkie without getting completely soaked. We've not commented on the footpaths here in Malaysia yet and … Continue reading 08-06-2011 Tourists in Melaka

(written by Nancy) We had a short day today so we were in no hurry this morning. We had rolls from a local bakery and some fresh fruit for brekkie. It seems that it is always mango season in Malaysia. Dave loves fresh mangos so we picked up one at the fruit stand yesterday and … Continue reading Snaking our way to Melaka (50/6050ks)

(written by Dave) Based on suggestion from the LWOP CIO (Donaleen) today I'm writing about the difference between business travel and adventure travel. In case you are wondering, this trip is officially adventure travel –even though Nancy and I are President and CEO of LWOP respectively, there is no mysterious company paying for our trip. … Continue reading Hanging in Muar

Today we tried to order the western brekkie with eggs only. In other words, hold the chicken sausage, salads, fries/chips, green koolaid and cold beans. Our waiter smiled very politely and said “yes, of course sir” (mostly people only talk to me – the man when ordering). And guess what, we received a complete carbon copy … Continue reading Rain delay to Muar (56/6000 ks)

(written by Dave) We planned to clean the bikes really good today so we got to sleep in and work our way out to a leisurely brekkie.  We both got a little excited when we saw a western breakfast on offer and quickly placed our order.  I've included a photo below but suffice it to … Continue reading Maintenace day in Batu Pahat

(written by Nancy) Our budget hotel turned out to have a very budget bed – we both woke up with sore spots from the springs in the bed as there was very little padding beneath the very thin sheets.  It was quiet though so surprisingly we both got some sleep.  We picked up some nice … Continue reading Cross country to Batu Pahat (55/5944ks)
