Kuala Lumpur Cyberjaya.

The guys at the carwash have been super helpful. I have stripped  it down quite a bit and they’ve done the hard yards. Funny watching the different layers of dirt come off, I remember  riding through that colour..,,


Even Kiwi got a scrub. 


  It has taken nearly two days to complete, we have all done our bit with Robyn getting stuck in. The men were a bit concerned, so they got her a chair.



So a big thanks to George and Sally and the team at White Bear Car Wash and Spa. 
Robyn has also made use of the laundromat and all our kit is now clean and tidy. 







I rang the air freight people and the bike needs to be delivered on the 8th and it flies on the 10th. Too easy. 
So another big thanks to the Maskargo team It is great to have all the logistics in place now, we can relax a bit. 

We have both been shopping for some new clothes, 6 months with a couple of t shirts and a pair of travel pants gets a wee bit tedious. Robyn has found it more difficult than I have, the women here are mostly dressed in long trousers with long tops, not much style and certainly not much colour. Robyn did find a few things  so that was good. 

There are lots of restaurants close by so we have lots of choice and as our stomachs get stronger we can explore the local cuisine more fully.

Auckland - Home

This journey doesn’t seem to want to end. Firstly we had to wait in the plane in Bali for 20 minutes so we wouldn’t arrive in Sydney before the 6am opening time.  We were expecting to land in Sydney in a few minutes when the captain informs us there has been a major malfunction with air traffic control and the landing time scheduled for us is outside the window of fuel remaining on board. So we diverted to Canberra for more fuel and a new flight plan to return to Sydney.  We arrived in Sydney 3 hours late and someone had parked their plane in our space!  Of course we missed our connection to Auckland.  We are booked on an afternoon flight, it could have been worse.  We had a lovely day with Paddy and Jules in Auckland with a nice brunch followed by a walk on a local walkway. Very relaxing in the warm sunshine. On Monday we collected the bike with no fuss, it was great to be reunited.   We then had a miserable  ride to Cambridge in torrential rain....

Day 166. Cameron Highlands - Kuala Lumpur

Image
It was funny packing the bike today knowing that it was for the last time.  The descent from the Cameron Highlands was a delight, narrow winding roads with beautiful bush scenery in cool mountain air.  Before we knew it we were on the motorway and heading for the megatropolis of Kuala Lumpur.  What a massive city.  We entered from the north and are staying in the south closer to the airport.  We navigated the labyrinth of the motorways and found our hotel ok Our hotel is quite large with apartments as well as hotel rooms.  There is a large shopping complex nearby so we should be ok here for a few days. Also the carpark has a carwash with very obliging man so things are falling into place.  The next few days we will be busy organising the shipping for the bike and cleaning it thoroughly for NZ customs.  Suddenly  our journey comes to an end.  It hasn’t sunk in yet.  So this is the last daily post. Thank you all for reading it.  ...

Tribute to a Tiger

I agonised for months about which bike to bring on this trip and then spent more months preparing it for the journey.  It hasn’t missed a beat.  3 oil changes 3 tyre changes 1 set of front brake pads.  The 14T front sprocket is badly worn and will end its days on display in my workshop.  Punctures 0 😄 It has been used and abused, dropped, and ridden on many many roads and trails it was never designed to be on.  This kind of trip is all about compromise, sometimes I wished for a bigger bike, sometimes I was glad it wasn’t bigger.  It has handled everything we have dished out to it and not once let us down.  It is a miracle it hasn’t shaken itself to bits.  It has been a great servant and we couldn’t have asked for more.
