Leaving Port Dickson we were soon in the massive plantations of Sime Darby
which went on for miles. The workers are mainly Indian. They have housing,
schools, lots of Hindu temples en route. We saw a number of temples dedicated
to Shiva.
On reaching Sepang, we had breakfast of roti canai. This time, it was served
like a thali, with dahl and chilli sauce. The cafe was run by a father, his
three sons and a daughter, who all looked identical.
The section from Sepang to Morib was pretty miserable - huge long straight roads
- we were riding into wind and rain. We checked into the Impian Morib Hotel
which we would avoid in future. In fact, miss Morib altogether.
We have had time to clean up the bikes and relax up prior to the big ride
tomorrow. It will be tricky since we have to go through the conurbation of
Klang which is the main port town. The last stretch is to Kuala Selangor, the
pewter centre of Malaysia.
This morning, we saw a second truck hit an overhead cable but this time, we were
over a hundred yards back.
Total mileage: 67km
