Met the group leaving for Malacca around 0715hrs. Started our journey around 0750hrs and had a smooth clearance along the Singapore causeway and a better one at Johor Baru's new immigration.
The meeting point at JB's first shell station for Ed was reached, but we were told to proceed and meet-up at Pagoh's R&R. So on we went with Glen loosing his way - turning off into Pagoh instead of proceeding to the R&R which is further along the highway! HUH! But to cut a long story short at the Pagoh R&R we finally met-up with Ed's entourage and lo and behold Kevin's too. So you can bet the amount of yakkitty yak that was going around!
Arrived in Malacca around 1100plus and went to do a little shopping and eating at Jusco. Checked in around 1330hrs at the Straits Meridian Hotel.
A small dinner was planned for this evening at the residence of Stan & Adlene (portugese settlement) as an ice-breaker for the reunion tomorrow night at the hotel itself.
The portugese settlement also had a food and funfair to celebrate the feast of St Pedro. Though it's like our pasir malam with a little difference of having some dance performance and songs thrown in. It was a colourful affair.
