Just enough room for 3 bicycles and 1 person in the back of the van
At the front of the ferry; eager to be the first to get off
After ‘stuffing’ our 3 bicycles into the back of my van, my 67-year old neighbor Mr. Sim, his son and me set off early on Monday morning from Tabuan Jaya Baru 1 to catch the ferry at Kota Samarahan about a half an hour drive away.
I’m so glad I bought the van as it is really coming in useful
The ferries (there were 2 of them) provided a vital service to get from Kota Samarahan to Asajaya on the other side of Batang Samarahan. The ferry service used to be free but RM1/- per vehicle is a bargain as the alternative land route is much longer but is necessary at times when the ferries cannot operate at low tides.
Pretty name, pretty morning …
Sitting and waiting …
After crossing the river, it’s another 20 minutes drive away before we turned off the main road to catch a sampan this time to get across the river to Beliong where we began our cycling adventures yesterday …
The ‘other’ Primrose as our path crossed/overlapped(?) mid-river

apa itu - Yes! Read my next post on the continuing adventure as I discover my ‘new found’ joy of cycling! ;o)
