We found a great hotel in town that was part of the same chain as the hotel we stayed in in Port Dickson at a quarter the price of Zon so the 3 of us moved there.<br />So,,,,,,,,,,, in to Singapore or so we thought, I had the name of a shipping agent who could arrange shipping to Darwin or so I was told, so armed with the address we headed off on the causway over to Singapore only to be deported on arrival, well actually it was only the bikes that were deported, turns out we would need to register the bikes, tax them for a year, insure them for a year, all this just to ride em to the docks.<br />Hmmmmmm, plan B was needed!!!!!!!!! I asked the manager of the hotel we were staying in does he know anybody who can help with the shipping, ah yes he sais you need to meet Mr yap who as it happens is just next door. So off to meet Mr Yap who turned out to be a star, yes we can ship to OZ from Jahor but no not to Darwin, the best he could do was Brisbane. As this is only 100km south of my Bros place we decided to go for it and worry about how the hell we would get from Darwin to Brisbane(we were determined to do OZ overland, if not on the bikes)<br />Things went very slowly for a few days and then all hell broke loose, can you meet me at the docks Mr Yap says on the phone, yeh sure I said, when? NOW he asked so off we went to meet the cargo forwarder who had his carpenter standing by to crate the bikes up, I was still getting off the bike whilst he was measuring up! I,ll put some pics up of our time in Jahor bear with me as I,m using a new format for the pictures, it must be easier as I did them twice at the last attempt, ho humjabezclegg1http://www.blogger.com/profile/02595156914443663070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542756305116640884.post-27172931776381618822009-12-29T19:33:00.000-08:002009-12-29T19:34:49.622-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fegGcFej6qg/SzrKVUw6q8I/AAAAAAAAF0c/QWuJVS0dOFc/s1600-h/pete+058.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

I have to put some photos up of the amazing places we went to in Malasia on the way to Jahor where we shipped the bikes from, we went to Malacca the oldest trading port in Malasia and then back up to KL to see Amanda off, at this point It had been agreed that John would join us down to OZ and take a break from the UK, John hired a car and we rode the bikes so just like Charley and Ewan we now had a support crew and it was great to ride without loading the bikes up so thanks mate for that.We travelled down the East coast of Malasia and stopped at a couple of places of no import, but we wound up at a place called Mersang which we really liked ,it a jump off point for the really nice islands in the south China sea, we are not going that way again so decided to go to one of the islands for a few days, it turned out we were the only guests on the whole island, we had a staff ratio of about 7 to 1 in our favour, a very relaxing 3 days that we would not of done without John being there. Hope to come on again tomorrow with some pics and more talesjabezclegg1http://www.blogger.com/profile/02595156914443663070noreply@blogger.com0
