| A distraction and short detour from Route 3 |
 |
| Jalan Permatang 1 at Kampung Badong Dalam runs parallel to Route 3. It is a detour of 4.1 km but it saves us the agony of riding for 3 km along Route 3 |
 |
| Paddy on both sides of the fields have just been harvested |
 |
| Touch base with the beach @ https://goo.gl/maps/8A7UxZ9M2dSEXPKa7 |
 |
| This is not a popular beach as it doesn't come with any facilities hence it is pristinely clean |
 |
| Surprised to see a trash free beach |
 |
| Very few trees to offer shades |
 |
| After the beach, we entered the fish farms |

 |
| Passing by Coconut Grove enroute to Merchong Tee King Chong. Unfortunately, it was also a private resort for fishing enthusiasts. Mr Lim was chased by the resort's dogs when he tried to ask for directions. The caretaker, a lady spoke good English and told us the rest of the road leads to the river and advised us to turn back |
 |
| Menchali Forest Reserve after waiting for Mr Lim to change his rear tyre. He had no punctures during his 45 days in Europe but upon his return 2 weeks later, suffered a flat! This happened after he went into a whole right after Jambatan Kampung Badung |

| We did not get wet but saw the rain from afar which helps to cool down the heat. Note the rainbow after the rain |
 |
| A French guy brought his team out in 2 cars to test out his glider. He failed to fly but they did take a lot of photos. |
 |
| We waited sooooooo looooooooong to see him fly. |
 |
| It was a full moon night |
 |
| Sharing session under the moonlight |
 |
| Time for bed |
 |
| Good to know nobody turned into a werewolf last night. We still woke up with our pants!!! |
 |
| Other campers undisturbed as well |
 |
| Enjoying a cuppa and the sunrise |
 |
| It was raining heavily on our way home though. Note the orange river near Ulu Tiram |
