Malaysia Skate 2016 Day 1

Day 1
Port Dickson to Malacca
Distance: 78km
Time on board : 5 hours 9 mins

Arrived last night 1am at Hotel suria at port Dickson from Singapore. Met up with Flo of Just a couple of Spins. Then few hours later, we started skating at 8am. Keeping good pace together at 16km/h until i got my first accident of the trip. Some friendly locals waved at me so i waved back .at that Moment of distraction, i skated into a curb. Thankfully,i am well used to getting injured in my trips. Is just a small scratch but my phone screen cracked so no photos for this trip. Too bad.

After Route 5, we took a small shortcut into a rural road but it cuts right into a military camp. Obviously,the guards are not going to let US in and it is a 15 km detour back. So we walk across the beach next to the camp and unwittingly smuggled into the military zone. That is so crazy. Smuggling and skating inside the military zone is craziest skating thing ever. When we exited the checkpoint,the guards checked US out. We assured them we are just lost stupid tourists who got lost. They recorder our data then let US go. We hurried to malacca before they changed their minds.
