Started just after 7 AM.
Headed west along Highway 1.
Along the way, there was a gentle uphill climb and a small pass.
In the latter half of Highway 1, where it runs parallel to AH2, the road and shoulder narrowed.
The heat today was tough after yesterday's cool weather.
A day with few intersections. The road occasionally widened to two lanes, and traffic decreased.
The road surrounded by quiet rainforest was pleasant.
There were no shops for 15 kilometers, and I finally managed to buy some supplies at a supermarket in Bukit Gantang.
Cold drinks quickly become lukewarm, so it's best to buy cold drinks at shops each time.
Arrived at the hotel in Simpang before 2 PM, but the door was locked as the owner was absent.
I bought a rojak (fruit salad) from a stall in front of the hotel and asked the vendor to call the hotel owner and have him come right away.
About five minutes later, the owner appeared and I completed the check-in.
For some reason, I was taken to a different hotel than the one I had booked, and checked in there.
My right knee isn't great (bending and straightening it is jerky), but I'm grateful and overwhelmed that I can even move forward.
Tomorrow is a day off for rest.
I drank too much water again today and my stomach is sloshing around.
