Day 3 - Thu 14 Nov: Phuket

Fine and sunny 25 to 32 deg, pretty much the same everyday this time of the year.
Walk: 22+ km

Although I know I can sleep in if I wish I was still up at sparrows this morning. Had another lovely breakfast on the deck and then went for a little walk, it ended up about 20 km worth. A little lumpy in places so I was glad when I finally arrived at my destination, Patong Beach. Caught up with my old roommate from previous tours and opponent from cycle-racing days, Kev from Canberra. He showed me around the big Smoke of Patong with its huge shopping malls and tourist traps everywhere. Glad I chose sleepy Surin Beach. Had a Starbucks coffee ($8.50 each!) and I then caught the Smartbus home ($7.50 for 40-minute ride) compared to nearly $40 by taxi.

Had a nice seafood lunch/dinner at a restaurant on the beach. Walked that off and then relaxed in my room.

Pedestrians are a rare sight here and don't get much room to walk

Condos everywhere

Day 17 - Thu 28 Nov: Keluang to Johor Bahru

Image
Fine and mainly sunny in the morning with a thunderstorm mid-afternoon, while we were on the bus thank goodness. A little hotter than previous days, 24 to 34 deg, we are edging closer to the equator. Ride: 80km; total: 865km Walk: 3km A nice early morning walk started my day. Not a great deal to see in Keluang, a little smelly and although littered with rubbish the workers were out sweeping the streets clean. Even before dawn the street food stalls and restaurants were already filling up with customers on their way to work. The smells were stimulating my appetite for breakfast. Breakfast for us was in the hotel today for a change. Eggs, toast, rice, curried chicken, and some really good coffee. Drove away at 8am for about 20 minutes before stopping to get on the bikes. The road we got onto initially should have been far too busy and fast to ride on, so we were all glad we turned off it after about 10 nervous km. The drivers are much more patient than most Aussie drivers, but the bi...

Day 9 - Wed 20 Nov: George Town

Fine and mainly sunny 24 to 32 deg with 100% humidity (I thought that meant rain). A late afternoon thunderstorm. Ride: 53km; total: 285km Slept well after the long day yesterday so was up before the sparrows. After my exercise routine and morning stuff headed out (5.20am) into a fine but still dark day. However, the lighting on the buildings made for some nice shots. I was on the waterfront before sunrise so that was fairly special. It’s funny but as a young soldier here in the late 60s early 70s I didn’t really appreciate how great Penang is. Too busy looking at the inside of bars I suppose. Brekky was served a bit late for me, 8am, but it was worth waiting for. You had different options, Indian, Malay, English or American. I went English as we’ve had our fair share of Asian food the last week. Not that I’m complaining as I love the flavours and the freshness. Today we explore Penang, 3 out the 8 elected to do that by bike and the others by foot. The bikies headed out in the vehic...

Day 2 - Wed 13 Nov: Phuket

Image
Fine and sunny, 25 to 32deg, very pleasant, not dissimilar to home really although the humidity is a bit higher. Walk: 7km Had a fairly relaxing day, wandering around the area getting my bearings. The beaches attract sun worshipers from all over the world evident by the many different languages you hear when walking past groups. A lot sound Russian, or Eastern European. Breakfast at the resort ($15) was so substantial that I didn’t eat again till mid-afternoon. Apart from the beaches there’s not a great deal else to see just around Surin. This afternoon I walked to Kamala Beach about 4 km south. Lots of tourists, and many flash resorts, restaurants, bars and shops. The favourite pastime seems to be sitting on a lounge chair on the beach, mostly under the shade of an umbrella and drinking and eating. I must be weird, rather “do something”. Exchanged some cash ($1 = 20TB) and had a nice seafood noodle soup and pineapple shake ($11) for lunch/dinner. The 100s of shops didn’t interest me...
