Route with pics

Yesterday we had a slow day on Pulau Pangkor. Some swimming, eating, drinking, cards playing...garmin software swearing ;-)
Anyway, today left the island after breakfast. Did the 2 hills to the ferry pier smoothly, so we were ready to depart from Lumut at something before noon. Weather was getting better so we quickly slapped on some sunblock (read; quickly)
Andries noticed he destroyed one of his (plastic) pedals while pushing himself across the island probably...Lumut doesn't have a bike shop: we had to hope finding something on the road or in Teluk Intan.
Biking (total of 70km) was certainly better for Andries today, he didn't feel so destroyed as the first time. It also really felt to go faster. Refueled with some great food from a roadside shack. Potentially even the best dish we had until now....not bad for a roadshack...After that it got ***** hot at some point, pedalling & baking through a flat open strech we crossed a large bridge that pops out of the earth as a moles heap to reveal palm plantations as far as the eye could see on the otherside of the river.
Found a bikeshop at the entries of town, the friendly guys there quickly updated Andries his broken pedal for some metal ones.
Tried the only clearly posted hotel we could find (Anson) which was a bit expensive...tried another one after asking around (Aun How Home)...found it, to see it was just some houses in a residential area with a phone# posted outside...why not? Called them, somebody came, showed us a (what looked like) brandnew room, paid, got a key and thats that. The guy asked us how we found him, even he seemed surprised, locals only I guess? (or he has a freaky fetish, Some collects cars...others hotels?)
Settled down, all feeling a bit baked...some more than others...read the previously "quickly" slabbed on sunscreen?...Andries joined the club and has clear foot/arm/leg bike-tan seperation lines! Burn baby burn.
6/12...St Nicolas in Belgium...so we got the open a present from home. Had to sing a song though to deserve it!
Youtube video of us singing Thanks for the treat...mmm, speculoos tastes so good.
