The morning was dedicated to uploading blog and video updates. Then we had a first part of breakfast and brought my bike to a bike shop, because I was sure that after 2000km, I would need a new chain and new brake pads and I hoped to get my original bike stand back to the bike. But the man in the shop checked chain and brakes and said I could go on another 5000km with this chain and those brakes and that he had not the right screws for the bike stand. So, we went off again.
In an Indian restaurant, we had the second breakfast, some thin bread, and plain or filled kind of pancakes with some dips.
The music there was not inviting for having a nice time, it was monotone sing-sang, maybe religious or similar depressive.
…but their happy mood is stronger than depressive music ;)In a supermarket, we bought ingredients for cooking at home and again I was surprised how many things you can get there that I never had seen before.
In the early afternoon, we went to the Batu caves.
It is a very special natural place that is turned to a Hindu temple structure. In a flat area, suddenly a maybe 100-200m high rock-formation arises and the rock is formed in surrealistic ways and has some caves.
And here, long, coloured stairs go up to a cave entrance.
The cave is high as a cathedral and goes far inside the mountain. There, again stairs go to a second higher “room” and when you are up there, you see that it is open on top. On every possible place in the walls, some trees or smaller plants grow and all around are some smaller or bigger religious temples or places for worship.
comes the rock-star-pose from religion or is it the other way round here?
On the way back, heavy rain began to fall,
and Faye explained that normally the rain starts in the afternoon around 3 or 4 and goes on for some hours. So it was today, too.
At home Faye and Lulu started cooking and as they said the would do it alone, I again read, wrote, edited and uploaded.
From Berlin court I had got a letter after 5 months telling that my judicial entry of “reminder” should not have been refused (I really don’t understand the pros and cons justified there) and so the process can be continued which is very good for me. If the next steps also take so much time, it will continue until I am back in Vienna.
Food was great and then it was time for Lulu and me to go to Ipoh.
Faye brought us to the train station. I will come back after Ipoh and Faye and Lulu will re-meet in Ipoh in December, so it was no big farewell situation.
Lulu and I will arrive late at night but luckily her Mum will bring us home.
