Route with pics

We had to get on the train at 8 am to Kuala Lumpur, but we we're 23 km away from the trainstation. Our alarmclock woke us up at 5am so we would be on our bikes at 5.45am. We wanted to be at the trainstation at 7am, 'cause you never know...
The trainmaster then asked us for an additional 15 SGP dollars/bike! Paying extra for your bike is normal, but that was way to much, so we said we didn't want to pay that and bargend a bit (By now we realise that most things don't have a fixed price around here). We finally still payed 10 SGP dollar per bike, but at least we saved 10$, right? The trainride was cold (again, airco is always working maximum it seems).
Once in KL we biked straight to the bikeshop where Andries packed his bike to take it back home. We asked the man at the bikeshop how much he wanted for the packing of one bike; 50rm he replied. Ardan started to laugh a bit (because we knew Andries only payed 40rm) and said: "No no, our friend came here two weeks ago and it only cost him 30rm". The man waited for a minute and then agreed. So you see: almost nothing had a fixed price...we even got it for 10rm less then Andries did :p. (he didn't bargain!) We finally got to our hotel at 6.30pm (the most expensive we've been in so far, but okay, it's for new years eve), took a shower, went for a bite and did the usual "blogthing". The two coming days in KL we will plan Cambodja a bit, read in our books and enjoy our last luxury in probably the next few months.

U niet laten afzetten hé jongen, maar dat afdingen komt nu goed van pas! Hopelijk een makkelijker fietstransport deze keer. xxxxx
