(^20) Malaysia wasn’t overly expensive, and although not part of the plan,
Lumut appeared to be an excellent place to lay low. Staying put was
a whole new experience. I was happy in the tropics, and there was
nowhere else I would rather wait until the passport arrived.
I liked Lumut as it was situated along the ocean, and was close
enough to the larger town of Seri Manjung. Lumut further had various
restaurants and bars, as it was the departure point for tourists to
Pangkor Island. I searched for a place to rent and was surprised to
find a considerable number of options available in such a small
village. I treated myself to a lovely studio apartment with a small
balcony. The condo was quite spacious for a studio, and the complex
came with a massive pool that was all mine to enjoy as it was
Ramadan and Malaysia was relatively quiet at the time. The staff was
very accommodating and even provided me with a little table and
chairs for the balcony. They also took care of my laundry and offered
me one of their laptops with a big screen.

As part of my new routine, I started going for a jog followed by a
swim. However, I needed running shoes and swimming goggles.
Despite being determined to get running fit, it turned out to be more
challenging than I had anticipated. I wasn't sure if I had enough
patience to continue with such a slow start.
