Day 923 29th January 2019
Sedili Besar
A day off my bike-being driven around by Bob.
I got up at 9 and went off to breakfast with Bob and Lin of roti telur. Then it was back to their house to clean my bike. Bob took me into Kato tinggi to go to the bank for him and chemist for me. It was very easy to get tablets for my swollen face as they spoke good English.
Then we went to the opening of a restaurant, but it was closed and the opening was at night. So we went to a banana leaf Indian restaurant for mutton curry with cauliflower and broccoli which was delicious. On the way back I dozed off and Bob said feel free to sleep so he soon got used to my snoring, at least it kept him awake for the long drive home! After a rest and some phone calls we went out to dinner with Wan, his former housekeeper, and she was surprisingly happy considering her husband had just been arrested for cigarette smuggling! All her family were there and it was lovely to see them talking very fast and happy together.
Preparations have been in full swing everywhere for the Chinese New Year and I hope to be in Singapore to witness it now that I have travelled all around this beautiful country of Malaysia (Approximately 1800 miles of wonderful people and incredible food).
