Looking forward to a break and an adventure of driving up to Thailand, Betong.
Half day work on Thursday to get home to pack my luggage. Anticipating the road trip up north the following day. Had all the luggage packed into my car and the car registration card ready. Dad, aunt and me bunked up into the car and off we went to PJ to pick mum from work. Going up to PJ during after work is a nightmare! Anyway, mum got off work on time and we headed off to Ipoh to stay a night before heading to Betong.
Reached Ipoh at around 9-ish. Had some food before going to my grandma's. Retired to bed early as we got to get up real early the next day to meet up with dad's friends at Simpang Pulai Rest House. He will be leading the way up.
0615 - Gets off bed, taking turn to use the bathroom
0705 - Ready to go out for breakfast
0800 - Was on the way to Simpang Pulai Rest House to meet the rest of the group.
0930 - Departed from the rest house to Betong after the others freshen up.
1100 - Gerik. Had something light (tea break) before continuing our journey. Lunch will be late they say.
1147 - Finally in Betong! Immigration was a breeze, filling up forms and lined up for stamping.
Noon - Light lunch at the stalls near the hotel. Forgot what time was it. We initially wanted to go to this famous and recommended store but they had finished with the beef balls. With a growling stomach, we start off looking for another shop selling beef noodle . . .
