down south ride 20110325-20110327

my wife told me she will be back for a few days. she said why dont we ride somewhere. i said ok why not. so i arrange two babysitters. as usual ayu and lin. they all got no problem with that. so all set to go.

day 1-friday

just wait for my wife to get home. i thot she we will early. but you know with two kids while driving from kt to kuantan wasnt easy. when i came back from friday prayer she already home. we make a move right after that. have decided where to go. around 3pm. not a good idea to go cameron via sg koyan. spooky road after 6pm you know. so decided to take southern coastal road.

leban chondong is our first destination. famous with shrimp.... half an hour there than we move to jb. to be specific goodhope hotel.
weather was cloudy all the way to jb. the traffic was heavy and congested especially from ulu tiram until skudai road. may be its friday. people are rushing home from work. arrive at gh hotel at 8pm. just call domino to deliver pizza to our room. lazy and tired to go out. supposed fina (our schoolmate in the states are coming but something came up, she cant make it). second time staying at goodhope. still the same. not really a good hotel.


day 2-saturday
after breakfast, we hit the road again to ayer keroh melaka.

take 5 ayer keroh toll...

stopped by at cikanos' house. another NU friend back in the states. almost an hour at her house catching up school days time and updating latest info about our friends. headed straight to kl after no one else available in melaka. dropped by my auntie house in gombak for lunch. thank god she only cook noodle for lunch. otherwise will be a problem to ride after heavy lunch. decided to go frasers' hill via kkb. before we start climbing, we dropped by our cuz house ani and azhar somewhere in serendah for tea. cathcing up a few things since they just came back from umrah. he told us to be careful while climbing. the road quite narrow and corners are short. spend almost 2 hours at their house.


sightseeing before climbing......
nice view when we reach the dam. forgot the name of the dam. a lot of people fishing, sight seeing, lepaking etc... road condition is not bad compare to tapah. tapah cameron is worst than this. arrived in fraser around 8pm. for drivers/bikers.. need extra careful using this route. if you over shoot.. cliffs are waiting for you. road surface is not bad. much more better than tapah. check in at shahzan inn. thats the only hotel i remember while made the booking. next time wont be shahzan in. i found better place to stay next time. room a little bit old. the food suck. we have dinner and breakfast there. both sucks... hahahhaha not recommended lahhh.... but the view quite nice. got golf course in front of the hotel.



golf course just in front of shazan inn...
apartments and condos...

bf central town... landmark in fraser...
got schedule for vehicle going up and down the hill. odd hours for going up and even hour for going down. we left frasers' at 10am via raub.

fraser hill raub exit...


video while ascending from the top to the raub-kkb junction. about 10 kilo i guess.....
the route much more better than from kkb to fraser. faster speed but still gotta be careful. the weather was very nice.. breezy, cold and the traffic wasnt that bad. maybe because not during holidays. about 12pm we have our lunch at temerloh rnr. suddenly me and my wife feel so hungry hahahah.... while we were riding somewhere in maran, i saw dato h with his bike on the way to kl. didnt notice dato b behind with his mini. reached home safe and sound at 2pm.
