Route with pics
Picasa Album
Kuala Selangor to Shah Alam went smoothly. Left at around 9am and arrived around 1pm. The road gets more busy as we near to Kuala Lumpur though, sometimes it felt like biking through highway traffic. It doesn't feel dangerous as most drivers are used to slow bikes/motorcycles on the side of the road, but it certainly feels a bit akward for us. You do get used to it fast (like there is an option ;-))
At some point the expressway 2 (toll highway) to kuala lumpur had a seperate motosikal/bike path lining the highway. This stretch has probably been the most relaxed bike since now (motosikals do still rush by at their maximum speeds). We are hoping this continues all the way into KL, but maybe thats just wishfull thinking.
Anyway, Shah Alam. The old capitol of Malaysia, its the muslim "center" of the country. It has the biggest dome mosque in Asia & some bigass towers, the blue mosque (just look at the pics to understand). We had a short, but nice, tour from somebody (even on friday which normally is closed for non-muslims, since friday is most important prayday). He was a verse singer for the mosque & surely could sing nicely. We had got a small bigdome-echo chanting just for us.
After the visit we quitly biked away over the mosque parking where andries decided it was time to get dangerous & do a frontflip while on his bike. Imagine a soccerfield sized empty, totally flat parking with 3 bikers with 1 suddenly going over his steering wheel & slamming onto the ground?!? Strange, the guards/supervisor there couldn't understand what happened either...andries tried biking & grabbing his phone at the same time...not a good idea. A big scratch, but he's fine! Oef.
Some restaurant also caught my eyes along the road..."Restoran, Bah Kut Teh"...yeah, who needs kut thee?
We only took 1 pic, but many advertise it this way...if they only knew dutch.

hey drietal, you look fabulous in your new dress code. And nice, peyo is back. Ziet er wel een mooie inspirerende site uit rond en om de moskee.

groetjes, Chantal
Jaja, ben druk druk aan het inpakken. Over 24u zit ik op de vlieger richting Kuala Lumpur! Get ready drietal, de vierde musketier komt eraan ;)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooie foto's van de blauwe moskee en met smurf (Andries:)!). Goed dat Karolien bijna daar is, toch iemand die hem een beetje aan banden legt! (grapje!). Wel interessant om de moskee van binnen te bekijken. En wat zo'n hoofddoek kan doen: Line lijkt onderdaad een echte moslima.

Groeten van ons allemaal!
