Passing Through

14.15

We've enjoyed a typically peaceful Sunday morning here at Mak's house, happily fortified by an first-class breakfast at Warung Nek Munah's: lontong kering for me, since they had run out of my usual prata, plus a surpassingly excellent teh tarik gajah. Hot and sweet - a phrase one needs to take great care in applying in this day and age.

And now it's time to get our stuff in order and loaded up for the drive south. As so often is the case, leaving this place feels sad, and when making the necessary preparations it can feel as if we're always leaving. But, on the bright side, that entails always arriving somewhere. And these days the uncertain nature of the journey between hardly bothers me at all, since I have Noi to enjoy it with.

Now at ease, back in hall. Easy drive down, restoring the little faith I have in the North-South Highway. Should be gearing up for the week ahead, I suppose. But happy to slip a gear or two.
