So yesterday was motorbike day - rented one out & explored Pangkor island. Brilliant - speedy 125cc thing (Richard - yes it had gears & it was easy you wuss!) But like every single other time I've rented a vehicle on holiday - disaster struck.
Through absolutely no fault of mine the thing decided to break down in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't beleive it though when a random Malay guy drives up, puts one hand on the back of the bike and pushes me into the nearest town!! If that wasn't amazing enough, I'm in the town hoping it's gonna get fixed, and some other guy drives up bringing me a new bike!! Unbelievable. And not a word of English spoken during the whole proceedings. Not that I'm not complaining! (did cost me an extra tank of fuel though - 50p!)
The pic is of a "Long Tailed Macaque" - this morning I discovered these live in the jungle next to my room when one poked it's head in through the window to wake me up. Nice of it!
So anyway now I'm back in KL, ready to catch flight MH123 to Sydney at 8.45 tomorrow night.
See you in Oz!!
