Another Border

Wednesday 19/11


We woke up later than planned. Sharon had left already while the four of us where still asleep. Jose and David also left before us, they planned to start the day with a visit to the botanical garden. We took the liberty to sleep in until about noon. Gosh we had missed some good sleep. But now we had at least rested well and we were ready to face the border. It was not very far until we reached the bridge. We rode our bicycles on the line that was for motorcycles. On Singapore's side they stamped our passports for leaving the country. On the other side we had no problems, the lady border officer stamped our passports allowing us to stay in the country for 90 days. Great!
With that done we were ready to cycle closer to the west coast as that is where the weather should be better. In Singapore we were told that on the east side of Malaysia there are monsoons at the moment, so we set to leave that cost for the next time we visit the country.
We did not cycle very much as it was relatively late and we both were tired. It was hard to find the right way, so we settled in a guesthouse soon after the border. As Malaysia is rapidly developing at the moment, more people spoke English than in Cambodia. Here it was not hard to find people who knew English, which made travelling slightly easier.
