One Day With Mersing - Singapore...

After some days on Tioman was it finally time for the last 130 km.

The first day we skated between Mersing and Kota Tinggi and the distance was little bit more than 90 km, but we forgot to turn right so we had to skate for over 10 km more and it was tough when you already are so tired. The bad pavement didn´t make it any better either. Sometimes the road was so bad so I had to walk instead of skating. We reached our hotel 17.30 pm and we started 7 am so it was a long day.

After our shower we went out to get something to eat, but almost everyone only served drinks, but after a while we found a place where we could get som noodlelsoup. And the shown the final in the womens badminton (tournament in Kuala Lumpur) between South Korea and China and it was alot of screaming and clapping and it was alot of fun (It´s alot of Chinese people in Malaysia).
Korea won.



Look out for wild elephants

Up & down

On the last day we were both quite tired after the long day before and the bad pavement reminded us immidiately. Some parts of the way we had the worst pavement on the whole trip, how nice is that? Fortunatelly we just had to skate 40 km this day, which was nice, it was a long time since we skated this short distance in one day.

The traffic was really killing us and the closer we got to Singapore, the heavier it got. Now the drivers wasn't as nice as before and they drove a lot closer to us and honked like maniacs.
