Bajingans!

One of the problems with relying on GPS, is that GPS relies on the roads being charted: GPS didn’t know that we were in Teluk Intan, and therefore Daniel GPS couldn't calculate how to get us out... and so our idea of just ‘sticking to this road until we see a road sign’ didn’t play out too well, as the road got smaller and smaller, ending up as a single track heading towards the river! Woops.

A u-turn later and back to where we began, and drove until the GPS found a road and Daniel sounded quite relieved to be ‘recalculating, recalculating’ – so off to the next destination: Kellie’s Castle. Along the way we passed these lovely lush green paddy fields and I just pulled the car over to take some photos, only to find that when we got back to the car, we’d been given a parking fine in Teluk Intan! Bajingans! I will need to get someone at work to sort that out for me next week, as I can’t understand the ticket (all in Malay) to work out how to pay it; and Arif who can understand Malay, couldn't work out how to actually pay the ticket!
