(^34) Taman Pura Prima – Lukut - 115 km
Peter suggested taking the coastal route as a shortcut to Port
Dickson, and it turned out to be a great idea as it was far quieter and
more scenic. The path cut through oil palm plantations until it
reached a river where a small ferry carried people across. Once on
the opposite bank, a short distance remained to Lukut.
Lukut – Malacca - 100 km
A pleasant day led across large rivers and past green and lush
swampy areas, precisely what one would expect of Malaysia. My
arrival in Malacca was in good time, and I searched for the
Warmshowers host. Howard ran a small guesthouse and hostel where
cyclists could stay on the rooftop terrace for free.
Howard was incredibly generous and helpful, providing
complimentary coffee and tea. The following day, I took my bike to be
serviced and explored the streets of old Malacca, now a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
It was easy to stay an extra day. First, I went on a free walking tour
and then took my camera to a shop to have it cleaned. On my return,
I stumbled upon a bonsai show. Although I don't know much about
bonsais, they were absolutely magnificent.
