Getting There

09.20

Drove up to Melaka yesterday evening. Was worried as to whether the checkpoints and roads would be busy with Raya traffic, but the journey was a proverbial breeze. Door to door in 3 hours & 10 minutes.

Sadly, though, there was a brief hold-up on the highway after Machap for what looked like a bad accident involving a motor-bike, which appeared to have very recently taken place. No police or ambulance at the scene, but several cars stopped to re-direct traffic. I'm pretty sure there were fatalities involved. Couldn't help but think of someone, somewhere getting the worst of news on Hari Raya. And simply couldn't help as it would have been pointless.

We're off visiting soon. Hope we stay safe. There are no guarantees in this world.

Got there and back safely.  The 'there' in question being three houses, replete with food & drink. Now officially exhausted as well as safe.
