Melakka and the temporary end

Monday 21.8. (80 km)

In Turkey, Melih introduced us to Acid from Muar.

He is an incredibly nice guy who only has cycling in mind. If it is possible for us, we should definitely visit him.

Said and done.

We have lunch with Acid and he gives us a lot of tips.

After that, we continue our ride until we finally reach Tan's Cyclists House.

WOW! A villa just for us!

Break

Wednesday 23.8.

Just as we are about to start towards Kuala Lumpur or Port Dickson, Tan asks us if we want to go hiking.

So we pack all our stuff again and head off to the mountain.

There are steep passages through the jungle, and in the end we are rewarded with a great view.

When Tan stops on the way back and I pass by him, he looks at me seriously and says:

'Go faster!'

With a slight panic inside me, I do as he says, and when I want to stop after a few steps, he says 'no! keep going!'

OK, now my imagination is running wild - I imagine a poisonous snake or some other creature that is chasing me, and I start running.

That can't end well on a mountain, especially when it's so steep!

And it didn't.

I stumble, somersault, and end up lying down with a bad knee pain.

You know the rest...

SHIT

There was supposedly a very large, extremely venomous centipede next to my foot.

Tan later said that it is very aggressive and would jump on people and bite.

When I googled it later, I couldn't find anything like that, at least there has only been one death so far.....

So injured for nothing!
