The owners of the guesthouse in Alor Gajah once again thoughtfully brought homemade steamed buns and coffee.
Yesterday, during check-in, all we had was a brief conversation about being from Japan and traveling by running in prayer for world peace... I'm so grateful and touched by their kind consideration!
Started at 7:40 AM. There was a fairly strong headwind.
The ups and downs weren't too steep, but there were more gradual inclines in the latter half.
The shortcut route I took when joining Highway 1 from Highway 19 was interesting, like a trail.
There were hardly any people or cars. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, like a farm road.
There were several packs of stray dogs, and some bumpy, rocky paths reminiscent of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.
I took several breaks at bus stops. It was comfortable when there was shade and a breeze.
Since it was 23.4 kilometers, I arrived in Rembau by lunchtime, but I killed time at the bus stop until hotel check-in.
I was surprised to find so many things there – convenience stores, restaurants, McDonald's, etc. – when I thought it would be a barren town.
20km is definitely too short; it's better to run at least 30km.
I checked into the hotel exactly at 2pm.
The owner, a Japanophile, kindly carried my heavy duffel bag up to my room on the second floor.
