(written by Dave) Our new room turned out to be nice and quiet overnight.  It had no window so it felt a bit like a cave but a quiet cave, so we were happy.  We had brekkie in the room before heading next door to Auntie's Kopitiam for a coffee.  On the way out I snapped a … Continue reading Going bananas to Sungai Besar (53/6361 ks)

(written by Dave) We've had a very low-key day here in KS.  I've chose the words “low-key” quite intentionally, as you would be hard pressed to call it quiet.  The non-quiet part started about 5AM with the call to prayers at the mosque across the street.  The mosque is right next door and they have … Continue reading Low-key day in Kuala Selangor

(written by Dave) Nancy was not feeling perfect this morning but we still got up early to try getting away from the traffic vortex of KL before it came to life.  We had brekkie in the room and managed to depart just before 8AM.  Ok, it's not that early but we are not trying to … Continue reading Sunday spin to Kuala Selangor nature park (51/6380 ks)

(written by Nancy) We had a day off (I know, another one) today in Klang.  We have a bit of time before we meet up with my sister in Penang in early September so we are taking it easy and trying to really get to know this country.  And, since Dave passed his cold off … Continue reading Down time in Klang

(written by Dave) We had a good night sleep at the mushroom farm. It was pretty quiet, in fact I think only one other room had guests (and it was next to ours). They ran their TV late but you could only hear it when the AC stopped. Somehow Nancy slept through it, and it … Continue reading KL traffic ride to 4-stars (65/6258 ks)

(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
