Getting Organised for Onward Travel

We suddenly realised today that we really need to get our act together and organise our transport from Malacca to Ipoh on February 12. We are aware that Lunar New Year begins around this time, it was part of the reason we extended our stay in Malacca. Not because we were aware of any particular event but because we were strongly advised against travelling in the lead up to the first weekend of the holiday period.

We spend the morning poring over transport websites, checking routes, fares and seat availability until we land on a workable plan for the day. It will involve one Grab, two buses and a train, and most likely another Grab once we reach Ipoh. The more we looked the more realised it was a good thing we did this today as the seat availability wasn’t huge.

The rest of the day was spent doing our usual routine stuff followed by a cheap dinner across the road to counter the many outlaid on fares.
