I'm so excited

And also exhausted.
I left for Pekan, and was really looking forward to an easy day. Unfortunately it was not to be. Pekan itself seemed like a pleasant enough town, but.... the hotels were awful (neither had rooms with a bathroom, and they were both upstairs, so I would have to carry the bike up a flight of stairs) So I decided to try to get to Mersing. Well, Mersing was 145 km away and I didn't see the sign until it was almost too late. I could have turned back, but I hate hate hate to do that. Especially for a hotel without a bathroom. I made it to a small small town called Neisai, and they had a very nice motel, with a nice bathroom. The town didn't have a restaurant or cafe, but the room itself was nice. I think it was a fishing/angling place because several of the guests were getting ready near the river docks when I left to begin the journey to Mersing.
It was 100 km. But.... even though it was a bit hilly (ok a lot hilly) it was still very beautiful. The roadside isn't very developed, so although a few times I wanted a cafe for something to drink, most of the time I appreciated the unspoilt coasts and jungles. And. And. And.
I saw wild monkeys. Really. They were all fluffy and cute, but since they had teeth both bigger and sharper than mine, I decided their fluffy cuteness was better appreciated from a distance. I even saw one peeking out at me from the foliage. It was pretty awesome.
I might be able to make it to Jahor Bantu tomorrow. It depends on how I feel in the morning and how the road goes.
Till I post again, be good, be happy and have fun.
