We rode our heavy GS into deep sand, had fun and learnt plenty in just a few hours. Then lunch was by the poolside, menu being the best local food available, chilling out with friends as the wind whistles through the many coconut palms around us, the pleasent smell of rhu vegetation everpresent, then a nice BBQ dinner before turning in. Tomorrow we will be riding across Central Peninsula Malaysia, skirting the Perimeter of the largest lake in South East Asia as we make our way home.[/b] [/QUOTE]
