Route with pics

Woke up early this morning (7am) for a new bike day. The plan was to go to Putrajaya, visit this 'modelcity' and stay there for one night. We already heared that there weren't any budget hotels, but we went anyway.
Once there, we soon realized that 'no budget hotels' meant 'only very expensive hotels', ooops :) So we quickly got back on our bikes.
Getting out of Putrajaya was an experience....
The opposite of Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur: no traffic at all!
This is a modelcity build by the government where only 10% of the buildings are occupied. It was a strange feeling, all this huge temples & buildings, brandnew raods, a big artificial lake, and almost no people in the city itself.
After leaving Putrajaya we headed for Port Dickson, another 60 km. It was a hot and long ride, but we enjoyed it. After a 100 km's we finally got to a budget hotel. Port Dickson is a very small place (according to th rough guide 'a place of little interest') so we decided to call Andries & Karolien that they better stayed one more night in KL (after their visit to the elephant sanctuary) and meet us around Melaka.
Heading for bed early tonight, 'cause a 100 km's biking makes you tired :)
Tomorrow we'll bike around 60 km to (hopefully) a little beachspot where we will take a look first before we call Andries & Karolien. If it's nice, they'll come over there, if not, we'll bike another 20 km or so and meet up with them in Melaka.

Hallo Line en Ardan,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWij volgen jullie reis en genieten mee. Zeker nu het hier al voor de derde keer aan het dichtsneeuwen is.
Hopelijk lukt het nu om deze boodschap te plaatsen. De vorige drie keer in de afgelopen maand lukte het niet.
Fiets veilig en geniet,
Ismene, Elias, Thomas en Kris
Wel, nu is het dus duidelijk wel gelukt. Goed om te weten dat er nog mensen een beetje volgen wat we aan het uitsteken zijn.
