I entered Malaysia on May 7th and crossed the border to Singapore on June 24th.
48 days, 1.657 km and so many friendly people ! my most favourite cities are Georgetown and very special Melaka !
From Thailand I arrived first in Changlun, then Alor Setar to Georgetown on Penang.
From Butterworth to Baling, Gerik, Jeli, Kuala Besut. Diving on Pulau Perhentian.
then to Kuala Terengganu, Dungun, Kuantan, Nenusi, Mersing. Then diving on Pulau Tioman.
From Mersing to Kluang, Muar, Batu Pahat, Melaka.
Back to Batu Pahat, Pontian, Johor Baru and then Singapore.
Well, cycling in Malaysia is not so exciting, permanently palm oil and/or banana plantation are becoming a little bit boring, but people are so great and very friendly and helpful!
