Throughout the last days, we've been cycling in beautiful countryside on the west coast of Malaysia, with its fascinating rice paddies, mountains, coast, kampungs, ... Okay, maybe you almost have to do this by bicycle in order to appreciate it, but it is really far beyond any of our expectations. It's really beautiful here, and the people are extremely friendly. Malaysia boleh!!! Some pictures to tell today's story.

This is a bridge from the mainland to Pulau Bunting. Someone must have made good money with this, because other than that it's a weird construction. You can hardly get to the bridge, it's a small muddy dirt track to get there. Once you cross the bridge, there is nothing on the other end, it just stops, not even a trail let alone a road... |

Rice paddies, can't get enough of it! |

One of many houses in the middle of the paddies, wonderful |

Just as we are about to leave the house (homestay again, although more a small guest house really) to explore the area a bit and look for dinner, these clouds come in to change our mind... it's pouring down now!!! |
