Today’s drive was only about 95kms, so no need to rush out in the morning. We stayed off the motorway again and took a more roundabout route towards Alor Star (aka Alor Setar; the first is an abbreviation… not sure why it needs abbreviating though…).
The only reason we are in Alor Star is its proximity to the Malaysian / Thai border. The idea is to go be there around 9am tomorrow morning, when the Zurich insurance office opens. That is where we need to buy ‘third party insurance’ for Thailand. Hopefully things won’t take too long as we want to make it to Krabi, Thailand before tomorrow evening.
We treated Sterlin to a proper cleaning so he is all ready for the border crossing tomorrow.
Which, sadly, means that this is our last evening in Malaysia! Hard to believe we’ve been in the country one month – minus 4 days in Singapore.
