We climbed hill after hill before reaching Sungai Udang.
When I thought all was lost, Michelle had spotted a stall.
In the distance, I can see that it sells fruits and decided to pull over.
"Eh, abang ni ikut group besar tadi ke?" (are you with the big group?) asked the guy who mans the stall..
He thought we were part of a bigger group, but I told him we were not..
Michelle spotted some coconuts and asked if they were for sale.
When the guy said they go for RM1 each, we had two and its the tastiest kelapa pandan drink we've had so far.
After a break, we worked our way towards Malacca town.
With more hills to climb, we finally reached Tangga Batu and Klebang by mid-day.
We spotted a roadside stall selling Cendol and some local dishes and pulled over to help ourselves with a late lunch.
Malacca town, at this point, wasn't too far away.
All that is left, is a 10-km ride towards Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho.
We've booked a night's stay at Hotel Seven, a budget accommodation choice which co-incidentally, is next to the Tangkak beef noodles shop.
For RM88 per night with free Wi-Fi, this hotel is clean and cosy. The only grouse we had was some retard who turned on the TV volume full blast all-night long.
Once in Malacca, we treated ourselves to some fruit juices from a shop near the hotel.
Then, we walked towards Jonker Street which is 15-minutes away and treated ourselves to a glass of chilled beer.
Since we need the night to recover from the ride, we slept early for the return ride back to Port Dickson, which looms over a few hours away..
