Solo Ride to Melaka

Last weekend I had my solo ride from Kuala Lumpur to Melaka. The reason I do this solo ride is because I was too stressed out with my work, and need some time out for myself. It was not a really long ride, just a 2++ hour ride from Kuala Lumpur to Melaka city.

Below is the screenshot of that I’ve taken from Google maps. The route shows in the maps were the highway route. The travelling time if using the highway is much faster. But for this solo ride, I’ve used the old road.

The main reason why I used the old road instead of the highway, is because I wanted to enjoy the scenery. By using the old road, I will be going through some villages and beaches. I wont be able to get that kind of scenery if I am to use the highway.

I made few stops along the way, took my time to enjoy the view. One of the stop was at Telok Gong beach which is nearby the border of Negeri Sembilan and Melaka. It was a beautiful beach with an amazing view.

I sat at the beach for 15 minutes before continuing with my journey. Few minutes on the road, while on my way toward Melaka, I saw a herd of cows walking by the road side. I stop at the road side, and took their picture. Suddenly, a male cow charged right straight at me. I take by surprise and couldn’t move in time to avoid the cow. I was really lucky that the cow stop just a few feet away, and it stare into my eyes. Honestly, I was really scared, but I played it cool. The cow then get back into its herd and walk away

After getting the scare of my life, I continue my journey. Some of the toad that I use is really secluded, there was nothing on the right and left side. Only bushes and trees. If I were to travel during the night, I would not choose this road. But since it is still daytime, I braved myself to use the route.

After another one hour of travelling, I finally reach Melaka city. I was really lucky because the weather was cloudy and not that hot. Traffic in Melaka was bad. But it is not an issue to me since I am using my motorbike to commute inside Melaka city
I stopped by at few places in Melaka before heading to my hotel. The places are such as Medan Samudera, Taming sari Tower, Klebang Coconut Shake and Kuih Keria Antarabangsa Limbongan.

I have made a post about Kuih Keria Antarabangsa Limbongan and Medan Samudera. I will post regarding Taming Sari Tower within this week. I will not post about Klebang Coconut Shake because I didn’t take any picture when I was there.

I stayed at Melaka for two days and one night. I travel back to Kuala Lumpur on Sunday morning. But I used the highway during my travel back to Kuala Lumpur.
