We will extend it in Kuala Lumpur on 27th March.

Which means a longish drive.

But, something we haven't seen for a while.

White line marking.

Just on three years ago.

Perhaps we've just had a bit of practice.

We stopped at Taman Negra Perlis State Park, about 1km after the border.

Tropical rain forest.

That almost blocked the short nature trail.

This is thoughtfully labeled "rock".

Limestone. In this area its been turned almost vertical.

Taking  a different route to Kuala Selangor we were in continuous plantations for hours.

We parked outside Taman Alam Nature Park. A policy change meant we couldn't park overnight inside.

Just the bureaucracy of shipping.

Stopped at AA Malaysia on the way to our hotel. Extremely helpful, well beyond the call of duty.

We rapidly became bored with TV.

Hooked the netbook to the tv to watch our movie collection on a big screen.

The clever electronic light control is a bit sensitive. Or maybe the room is haunted.

It seems everyone in the hotel knows who we are, and knows the truck in the car park is ours.

All are most helpful.

One small incident .. I needed to beat the exhaust cap back into shape. Next to hotel car park is small car workshop. I sauntered in with bent bit. No common language, but a few seconds of suspicion then "is that your truck?" then big smiles and shown to the bench vice.

Having first asked for a cleaning company in February we arrived to none. Which meant that shipping couldn't be booked.

This was organised with the help of the local Mitsubishi/Fuso Truck dealer after I asked where they had used vehicles cleaned for resale. They helped with the translation of what we needed.

Pulled the fridge out a bit, and killed the ants living behind it.

Doctor reckoned "frozen shoulder". Provided some interesting gentle shoulder manipulation and some non-steroid anti inflammatories.

I can now tie my shoe laces without having to think about it.

Still very painful, and difficult to use arms at anything above shoulder height, but looks like I'll survive until some longer term treatment in Aus.

But a good start.

We are in Petaling Jaya, part of the Klang Valley, which includes Kuala Lumpur.

Roads are good, but traffic is dense. Drivers are polite.

With the help of our gps we are finding our way around.

Next step is customs and handing vehicle over for shipping. Book a flight, and fly home.
