Johor: Romantic riding escapade to Mersing...

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step..." - Lao Tzu

(Teluk Buih Bay)

I was quite apprehensive when dear hubby agreed to join the convoy with 10 others. Ours is the only easy rider joining the convoy of young sports bikers, the likes of GTR, BMW and Versys. And as expected, because of safety, especially when handling the sharp and winding roads, these old-timers rode slow and steady and the rest had to wait for us at junctions to make sure that we would not get lost on the way.

The ride was exciting and quite many routes were unchartered for us. If not for their patience, we would not have managed to keep pace with their speed and reached safely at the intended destination.

We stayed the night at Fishing Bay Lodge in Teluk Buih. Although the chalet is quite expensive for Malaysian standard, the white sand beach is genuinely beautiful and serene.

One of these days, I wouldn’t mind to trace the same route again, just the two of us…

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love…

I could make you happy,

make your dreams come true

There’s nothing that I would not do

Go to the ends of the earth with you

To make you feel my love…

(You and I...)
