Very tired but in good spirits as we set out on our 2nd last day. Yesterday, the two Dubai boys (from Edinburgh) and Mark did 41 kms per hour in 41* C. , they suffer at a different level. So today they cycled part of the morning with the slower group, pacing us and protecting us from the wind.So kind. Afterwards cycled mostly with Sue, Phil, Tarcia, Martin and Mark and stopped at Chinese restaurant for fantastic lunch. Had noodles, sweet and sour and seafood rice. Pace was fast in the heat, 41.1*C, about 16mph but meant we were in by 5.00pm. Saw a troop of monkeys playing in the trees . We came upon a huge bicycle with sidecar at the side of road, either art or advertising, not sure. Mark struggled to climb up it, very hot, and pretended to ride it, great photo opportunity.
Malaysia has a huge Chinese influence. Love the way they cook food, huge woks, all fresh cooked to order. The smallest restaurant churns out fantastic meals, a meal with soft drink costs about 2 pounds. So cheap. Thank you for all e mails and comments, still can't reply but will when I get home. I know some of you have seen photos on Marks Twitter page. Last day tomorrow, my body is telling me enough is enough but as usual I want to continue cycling into the sunset. Tomorrow Singapore and party time.
