Roti Run through Malaysia en route to Thailand: 9 Jan 2013, Port Dickson to Morib

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
