(^56) Rompin – Mersing - 66 km
Mersing was only a short distance away, so I didn’t bother with
breakfast before setting out. The coastal route was far more pleasant
than the main road, and the ride became one of many coffee stops
and grand vistas. In Mersing, settling for the Embassy Hotel was a
no-brainer, as rooms came with hot water, air conditioning, and TV.
My laptop finally gave in. Although it still worked, the screen was
shaky, and I guessed it was only a matter of time before it packed up
entirely.
Mersing – Kluang - 90 km
The ride would’ve been nice if only the road had been slightly wider,
and the multitude of trucks didn’t make biking any easier. Instead,
the way mainly led through oil palm plantations and partly through a
natural forest.
Sadly, I spotted a distressed-looking monkey and noticed her little
one was knocked down. The poor mother looked stressed and
disorientated, pacing up and down as any human would. How
incredibly sad.
