We just back from a wonderful trip to Fraser's Hill on 19th May 08. Thank God for His protection and the nice weather during our trip :-)<br /><br />Our trip began on Monday morning, 19th May 08. I rode to Ricky's house in Malacca the night before we left to go to the Sg Buloh R&R to meet the CK Yeong on the next morning. I want to take this opportunity to thank Ricky and his wonderful family for their hospitality. They brought me out for a nice dinner too :-)<br /><br />Next morning, Ricky and I woke up at 4.30a.m. We left his house at 5a.m. to meet another new friend, Ah Heng (Honda ST1100) at the Air Keroh Tol. Ah Heng was there ahead of us. Three of us left for Sg Buloh R&R around 5.10a.m.<br /><br />Around 7a.m., as planned, we reached Sg Buloh R&R and we were having our breakfast there while waiting for Yeong to arrive.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQyha3GwoI/AAAAAAAACaQ/87X3f9wqeR8/s1600-h/Photo6.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQyha3GwoI/AAAAAAAACaQ/87X3f9wqeR8/s320/Photo6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202839019247288962" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Our RV Point: Parking at Sg Buloh R&R for breakfast and refuel.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">After a simple breakfast and refuel, we proceed to the North-South Highway and exit to Rawang > Kuala Kubu Bahru > Fraser's Hill. We really enjoyed the refreshing old trunk road all along the way from Kuala Kubu Bahru to Fraser's Hill. It took us about 1 hour to reach the gateway to Fraser's Hill. We reached Fraser's Hill around 10am. The weather was cold and perfect for riding.<br />There was nothing much we can do at Fraser's Hill, we just park our bikes there and take some rest and meal, but we enjoying the chit chat with each other.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ0VK3GwpI/AAAAAAAACaY/tx1i-Hq5MqI/s1600-h/Photo14.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ0VK3GwpI/AAAAAAAACaY/tx1i-Hq5MqI/s320/Photo14.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202841007817147026" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Yeong was desperately looking for toilet :-><br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1La3GwqI/AAAAAAAACag/xfqTH1FRVfA/s1600-h/Photo9.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1La3GwqI/AAAAAAAACag/xfqTH1FRVfA/s320/Photo9.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202841939825050274" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We parked our bikes here, 2 Malay girls and their father posing with our iron horses :)<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1nq3GwrI/AAAAAAAACao/ObSOi_nGYA4/s1600-h/Photo27.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1nq3GwrI/AAAAAAAACao/ObSOi_nGYA4/s320/Photo27.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202842425156354738" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Yummy...we had our meal here<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1963GwsI/AAAAAAAACaw/MeBZ7M0Jfro/s1600-h/Photo28.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SDQ1963GwsI/AAAAAAAACaw/MeBZ7M0Jfro/s320/Photo28.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202842807408444098" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />"Hey!

Employing Chinese miners to do the hard work for him and earning his keep by operating mule trains down the mountain, Fraser set up opium and gambling dens to increase his profits, which may have had something to do with his subsequent mysterious disappearance. The tin ran out in 1913, but the lush valley within was rediscovered as a colonial hill resort that, thanks to its 1524m elevation, enjoys considerably cooler temperatures than <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Kuala_Lumpur" title="Kuala Lumpur">Kuala Lumpur</a>. By 1922 a road had been cut through the mountains to the valley, which soon sprouted bungalows and even one of Malaya's first golf courses. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SCVtQrcH8qI/AAAAAAAACY4/qo8T4lOSwRY/s1600-h/peninsular-malaysia-map+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SCVtQrcH8qI/AAAAAAAACY4/qo8T4lOSwRY/s320/peninsular-malaysia-map+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198681478175126178" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/SCVtQrcH8qI/AAAAAAAACY4/qo8T4lOSwRY/s1600-h/peninsular-malaysia-map+copy.jpg"><br /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />see map: Our Route: KL > Kuala Kubu Bahru>Fraser's Hill>Raub>Bentong>KL<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-family:georgia;" >Ride report is forthcoming :)<br /></span>Malaysia Magna Ridershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12711053099640373792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720077755256882470.post-80442508509565987312007-09-24T05:52:00.000-07:002007-09-24T05:57:26.089-07:00Cameron Highlands OneDayRide Report<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rvez7KG3AoI/AAAAAAAABvQ/nFMpUpF8SHg/s1600-h/P1060569.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rvez7KG3AoI/AAAAAAAABvQ/nFMpUpF8SHg/s320/P1060569.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113753730809266818" border="0" /></a><br />Hi, we just back from our one day trip to Cameron Highlands.

As passengers began to disembark, we were greeted by a sight of hive of activities, traders loading and offloading their supplies and goods. Its kind of havoc at first with everybody seems to be rushing back to the shore. We sat foot on the jetty and soon headed to another boat to ferry us to our destination. The weather was perfect a bit hot as the sea breeze blowing towards us as we head towards our destination ie Ayu Mayang Resort. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We were stunned by the beauty of the islands. The cluster of unspoiled islands seems beyond the horizon sets us back in time, each with its own uniqueness, the tranquility behold us, leaving us speechless. How we wish we could have all the week there. But damn reality stuck, we have to be back to KT the next day. Sssssh. Finally we arrived at the beach. What a wonderful sight. A white sandy beach, clear blue waters, yachts and boats anchoring around stretch of beaches, the cool sea breeze, hordes of people all with their own activities, what a relief from the sight of the hustle and bustle of the city. We were lead to our chalets at Ayu Mayang, a short walk away, with numerous other beach resorts and cafes sprung up along the way.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_QVtXpXLI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/kdISNmcS90I/s1600-h/IMGP0822.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_QVtXpXLI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/kdISNmcS90I/s320/IMGP0822.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107029573836037298" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We were led to our chalet, a pretty decent one with a rate of RM 180 per night. It was a kind of unique chalet, with an air conditioning, water and bed for 3. We were pretty much half dead and exhausted, but then again the sight of the blue water vigorously kept us mentally excited. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We soon headed back to the beach, Solomon went for his beach soccer, while Azman went for a game of volleyball as Yeong head straight to the waters. He is like a zombie being possessed by the sea mermaid. No one could distract him from the waters. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Imagine that riding the whole day, sweaty, hot, sticky and smelly without a pint of water along the way and all you could smell is the pure sea breeze. We could be in the waters the whole evening but damn again, our stomach has been knocking our heads for food. We headed back for a short bath, a nice one. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Time for dinner. Food is relatively inexpensive with numerous cafes, outlets and restaurants offering cluster of cuisine from western, oriental to Chinese food as well as local delicacies. The cost per person for a good meal would probably cost as low as RM 8 to as much as RM 60 per person. We had the night watching EPL at Laguna Redang with Liverpool hammering <st1:place st="on"></st1:place></span><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><st1:place st="on">Sunderland</st1:place> 2:0.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TU9XpXRI/AAAAAAAAA-A/7fbB_pMpbJw/s1600-h/P1050786.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TU9XpXRI/AAAAAAAAA-A/7fbB_pMpbJw/s320/P1050786.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107032859486018834" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">As much as we would like to stay on, our fatigue finally catches us on, its time to hit the sack. For those who want night entertainment, plenty of bars, karaokes, and even daily live performance from local or foreign artistes. Night scene was wonderful, candle lights as well as night lights brighten the whole beach. Wow we are in paradise.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/RuUPN9XpXsI/AAAAAAAABCo/zqzged-QOaM/s1600-h/IMGP0883.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/RuUPN9XpXsI/AAAAAAAABCo/zqzged-QOaM/s320/IMGP0883.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108506084808154818" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo of the chalet we stayed</span></span><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TVNXpXTI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/Kg6kdS20Pok/s1600-h/P1050777.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TVNXpXTI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/Kg6kdS20Pok/s320/P1050777.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107032863780986162" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Its 5am. Time to pack. We were led to the landing point where the boat are waiting for us. The sun hasn’t even rise yet !. Another 30 minutes before we arrived back to our jetty. The ferry were already crowded with passengers leaving Redang. Hmmm another 90 minutes ferry ride. Solomon and Azman cant hold on to their alertness and soon fall asleep again. Yeong was busying taking photo shots of the scenery and it was a wonderful sight seeing the sun rises along the horizon. It was beautiful, simply stunning, no words can picture the gracefulness and the tranquility of the sea.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/RuUPNdXpXrI/AAAAAAAABCg/THJbMGrnaEU/s1600-h/IMGP0924.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/RuUPNdXpXrI/AAAAAAAABCg/THJbMGrnaEU/s320/IMGP0924.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108506076218220210" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Our sight set hold on KT ferry terminal soon later around 8.30am. We rush to our bikes, looks safe and fine. We saddled up and headed towards a couple of metres away to have our breakfast. By 9.am we all ready to ride again. Heading towards the town of <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Rantau Abang</st1:city></st1:place>, a couple of miles away, then to Marang. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We were planning for a slow ride but as a typical Malaysian, its ugly head turn up again. We were soon racing towards Marang at a break neck speed. Hola !!!. We refuel at Marang and soon were at Pantai Kemasik again. Yeong suffered severe sunburn on his hands and were soon cursing himself for not wearing the full hand gloves. Solomon being the gentleman offers some clothes to be cut and what a nightmare, he accidentally cut his fingers. Now we panicked. Azman said we should go to the next town to have Solomon fingers bandaged. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Again we set off and riding at breakneck speed again. This is crazy. We reached Kemanan in no time and had Solomon’s finger bandaged and treated. It’s almost noon, the sun is shining hot, the air is dry, the sweat flows down our chin, we can smell food… food, that is what we need. Not far from the town, we had a nice lunch, have a big and huge plate of rice, sates, and a few funny local delicacies that we cant even pronounced.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLdXpXQI/AAAAAAAAA94/mBLR35BjjSU/s1600-h/P1050853.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLdXpXQI/AAAAAAAAA94/mBLR35BjjSU/s320/P1050853.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107031596765633794" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SK9XpXNI/AAAAAAAAA9g/v1x_mz5_3TY/s1600-h/P1050842.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SK9XpXNI/AAAAAAAAA9g/v1x_mz5_3TY/s320/P1050842.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107031588175699154" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLNXpXOI/AAAAAAAAA9o/ilEqPB_rM5w/s1600-h/P1050849.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLNXpXOI/AAAAAAAAA9o/ilEqPB_rM5w/s320/P1050849.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107031592470666466" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Otak-otak</span> , very delicious!</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_UktXpXVI/AAAAAAAAA-g/aHny1I81RoE/s1600-h/P1050850.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_UktXpXVI/AAAAAAAAA-g/aHny1I81RoE/s320/P1050850.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107034229580586322" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Sotong celup tepung (<span style="font-style: italic;">Fried cuttlefish</span>)<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLNXpXPI/AAAAAAAAA9w/MoE7EKLeDTM/s1600-h/P1050851.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_SLNXpXPI/AAAAAAAAA9w/MoE7EKLeDTM/s320/P1050851.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107031592470666482" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Solomon bought some dried foods for his wife while Yeong and Azman prepare for the next journey.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TVNXpXUI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/8wp87WEMvpc/s1600-h/P1050831.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_m3iUWxxbziI/Rt_TVNXpXUI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/8wp87WEMvpc/s320/P1050831.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107032863780986178" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Taken at Dungun</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.google.com/saiweng721/Rt_aNtXpXoI/AAAAAAAABBs/FtB0-fgOL-0/IMGP1055.JPG?imgmax=512"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://lh3.google.com/saiweng721/Rt_aNtXpXoI/AAAAAAAABBs/FtB0-fgOL-0/IMGP1055.JPG?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.google.com/saiweng721/RtLOV9XpUhI/AAAAAAAAAjE/QqZpHK7bahU/P1050807.JPG?imgmax=512"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://lh3.google.com/saiweng721/RtLOV9XpUhI/AAAAAAAAAjE/QqZpHK7bahU/P1050807.JPG?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We headed towards Gambang, exiting from Cherating. Yeong was riding so fast that we missed the next fuel stop. Then we realized, shit ! there’s aint fuel station for the next 25-30kms and our bike starts to scream “ Woi I need fuel ! “ Fuel ! Fuel !. We slowed down like a turtle to the extent kupchais , kancils, scooters, and whatever vehicle you can named it overtook us. This is terrible. This is bad. We cant imagine stuck in the middle of the highway with no fuel left. Will be the joke of the day.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">While we were riding, we prayed , prayed and prayed.

As soon we were on the bike, we turned into ghost rider. Blazing hot and blood flowing our veins, we soon found ourselves at 150-160kph, with Yeong sprinting away occasionally, teasing us. It wasn’t long before Temerloh R&R were within sight. Wow. I think we are crazy already!. We had another refuel and had a good rest and drink. Met up with a lone sports biker giving <span style=""> </span>the thumbs up to him and he reply the same and soon he’s off again, disappearing onto the horizon, he’s gotta be another madman, probably riding above 220kph. We guessed that guy smoked everyone including the BMW 535i series that were seen arrogantly speeding along the route. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">We left the R & R around 4pm and reach Karak highway around 5pm.
