We left Singapore this morning with the 7:40 am train to Butterworth (north Malaysia). The time is now 6 pm and we still have almost 4 hours to go before we arrive. So fare so good…. We have 4 seats in 1st class carriage, pretty nice, but the rest of the train is old and shabby looking. Scary to walk from one carriage to another, you can see the train tracks under neat. The food on this train is not very mush to say hurray about, they have a menu here but they didn`t start selling till after 3pm, so we where really hungry. Need to pack a bigger snack for the next train ride.
Lars ask about every 30 min where we are, and he is just as surprised every time we say Malaysia!!! “Still Malaysia!!!” Tiril thinks the train ride is fun. Lars also says the train is fun. Lars has been working really hard on a plastic water bottle with a plastic knife, trying to get a hole in the side to drink out from. But the project was given up not to long ago…..
Outside it is raining, the sky is grey and about 30 degrees C. Outside we see palm trees, water buffalos and rice fields.
Det høyrest kjekt ut! Eg har óg tatt tog frå Malaysia til Bangkok, men på 3.klasse. Trebenkene var brattare i ryggen enn kyrkjebenkane i Imsland... Skulle likt å sett Lars med flaske-prosjektet,he,he ;-). Kanskje lika godt at han ga opp... Kos dåkke i "smelly Bangkok" !
ReplyDeleteGod tur videre, vi gleder oss til å følge dere hele veien hjem og håper dere får mange gode opplevelser underveis.
