Food at rest stops are rubbish...but taking toilet break and walk around is good for everyone...driver and passengers.

 

Take it easy and enjoy it. That, I feel, should be the way for a road trip. My family and I have been going to such road trip several times a year for a long time.....we never ever rush and leave a lot of time for breaks when ever neccessary.

 

Have fun.

Hi, just to share with you with first trip up north 2 weeks ago. Btw I had gather lots of tips & info from bros here before my trip.

 

Saturday morning 7.30am reach Tuas and by the time I clear My custom is around 8.45am and after clearing the custom just park along the roadside and go for the toilet break which is within the custom area.

 

Before 11am I am in Melaka town without any stop in between, the driving was good for 2 continous hrs infact I can say I really enjoy driving the distances and these experience you will never get driving locally.

 

By not stopping we save time and our stomach for a wholesome lunch once we reach Melaka.

Thanks bro for the info.

Think u must be driving at high speed in order to reach within 2 hrs.

This is my first trip there and yes the advices, infors and tips here are really great.

Am is looking forward to my coming trip this month end with my family.

Makota is the worst hotel which i ever stay even worse than the budget hotel which i stay during one of my trip to malacca

 

I just came back from staying at Makota, many complaint.

 

1)water are yellow for both kitchen and toilet

2)toilet bowl cannot flush

3)toilet door cannot lock

4)one of the room cannot lock and close

5)dirty and rusty

6)worse are the service

Me: can i request for another 2 more pillow

HK: no problem, will arrange to sent to you

 

wait long long also nvr see a shadow

 

so i called them up again, this time another HK lady ans

 

Me: Hello, i had requested for 2 pillow 4 hour ago but did not recve it.

HK:cannot 2 pillow as today full house (like real, car park are not even 20% full)

Me:ok pls sent 1no instead

HK: (she slammed down the phone before i finished talking)

 

 

in the end, i had to make my 3rd call which was pick up by another housekeeper before i receive my request...

Such road trips can be addictive.....

[Howk]

Let me tell you, for the first quater of the journey I am driving like max 100kmh and as you drive on you will feel like it is so slow and then I step it up abit to around 110 ~ 120kmh for the rest of the journey.

 

For my return trip at one point I even reaches 150+kmh but I dont feel comfortable, so ease off to within the 120kmh. So my advice is drive within the speed you feel comfortable with and dont speed excessively.

 

Have a safe and wonderful trip and I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

[Spidercool]

Thanks for the advice.

Will drive carefully since it is my virgin trip up north.
