Started at 7:00 AM, just before sunrise.
Headed north, using Route 5 as my base. The cool weather quickly ended, and by 10:00 the temperature was over 30°C.
Bought drinks at almost every convenience store.
My current enjoyment is ice cream and cold drinks.
I never drink pop soda such as cola in Japan, but when I'm traveling on foot, I really crave it.
I had a takeout mie goreng for a late lunch at the bus stop.
I couldn't finish it all, so I had some at the hotel in the evening.
Drank watermelon juice in Malacca city; 80 yen for 500ml was a real bargain.
It tasted like watermelon juice with sugar added.
I had several painful blisters on the soles of my feet. The high temperature and humidity inside my shoes were a problem.
I made good progress up to 30km, but the last 15km were tough.
Break breaks every 5km became more frequent, becoming every 2-3km.
The more water I drank, the more I sweated. Still, I couldn't help but drink fluids.
After 44km, I finished at a hotel in Malacca Old Town just before 5pm.
I feel like going more than 40km in this heat is a bit dangerous (lol).
Tomorrow is a day off. I want to keep the distance to Kuala Lumpur short.
*Today's distance: 44km
*Total distance from Changi Airport: 230.8km
