A night earlier, I discussed with Denim the possibility of renting a scooter. Pretty cheap 30RM per du which is less than 8 euros. I have no experience in riding scooters but that sounded like a great price to get some hands-on experience. I don’t have a license which is a problem for the renting agencies and the local police. Denim lended me his scooter to try it in front of the guesthouse before I risk my life! I rode it back and forth a couple of times to get some confidence and estimate my success rate.
In the morning, I went down to pick up the scooter to hear from Denim that the agency didn’t want to rent the scooter because I don’t have a license. I was disappointed. I can only now rent a bike!
I started biking towards Cenang beach, around 10 km far. Stopped in the middle for some Malaysian pancakes "Roti Canai" which I really liked and some tea with milk which I loved!
It is impressive that Malaysians can eat meat and chicken and rice for breakfast!
I resumed biking till the beach. It was partly cloudy but still sunny enough to burn me by the end of the day!
I spent the day on the beach. With my polish couchsurfing friend Linka that arrived today from Penang where we met two days earlier. We spent around 10 hours!! swimming, talking, exchanging couchsurfing experiences and talking about travels. Lunch and dinner took their place and time with Laksa, te fish broth, for lunch and beef and rice for dinner.
It was a relaxing day muh needed after the intense week before. I considered a couple of water sports but thought it would be much nicer in a sunny day! Talking to Linka was also interesting and the time passed unnoticed!
At night I biked back to my guesthouse. One hour of biking in the darkness that seemed too stupid of a decision. I have to admit I like these kind of tricky situations that challenge my comfort!
Tomorrow I fly out of Malaysia to Cambodia! Another country.. My knowledge about it before this trip was ZERO!
