DAY 31 Sungai Siput to Kuala Kangsar (Malaysia)

 



Departed just after 7 AM.


It seems a considerable amount of rain fell last night. There were puddles like ponds all over the road.


There were a lot of cars parked along the roads around the Chinese cemetery. Was it a day for visiting graves, like the O-higan in Japan?


It's a mountainous area, but there weren't any particularly steep climbs.


Because it was Sunday, there were quite a few groups of road cyclists.


They waved and called out to me as we passed each other.


I ran past Lion Hill, a mountain that resembles Mount Fuji. Its height is about 310-365 meters.


Looking closely at the abandoned buildings, I noticed a troop of monkeys living there!


I see monkey communities everywhere, but there must be about 100 of them here.


Today, the traffic was light, and I enjoyed a pleasant run.


Luckily, it was mostly cloudy, so I didn't feel the heat too much.


Usually, I'd be drenched in sweat, splashing water on my head and body while running, but today it wasn't necessary.


Routes like this, where I can feel close to nature, are great because I never get bored while running.


I took two breaks at bus stops.


I arrived in Kuala Kangsar and killed time by enjoying ice cream and canned coffee at a convenience store near the hotel.


I arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM.


Although check-in was supposed to be at 2 PM, they let me check in early.


A relaxed, leisurely pace that left my mind and body at ease.


About half the distance I usually run. A journey and a life without rushing is truly wonderful.
