Taiping
Apr. 5 - Apr. 6, 2007

155km from Teluk Intan to Taiping. There were shorter routes, but with lots of hills. The entire day was cloudy, so that helped keep me cool. Nice town with mountains to one side.

10) Taiping, Malaysia > Butterworth, Malaysia 92km
Butterworth
Apr. 6 - Apr. 7, 2007

92km from Taiping to Butterworth. Travel Lodge is 1km from the ferry terminal. Good rooms, but bad restaurant. Caught the 7:00 ferry to Penang, then the 8:15 ferry to Langkaui. Had expected to stay a week in Langkaui, but every hotel was full (there are a lot of hotels). Caught the 12:30 ferry to Satun, Thailand. 980km from downtown Singapore to Butterworth.

Total Singapore & Malaysia riding 986km (612.6 miles)

Just a quick note to let you know I'm still here. I'll type more later.
