Kuala Lumpur
08.07.18-12.07.18
Departure from Cameron Hihglands towards the city Tapah represents a downhill from the mountains 65 kilometers long and we have convinced that it is indeed! It feels like you're riding a motorcycle with a headwinds in your face - first cool, but the lower, the hotter and hotter! Turn around the twist, streamer is safe enough, but with cool curves. A lot of waterfalls, one of them we hooked up, a tourist place with a lot of people. After the descent we drove another km 30 and stepped the evening, it was necessary to find a place for sleep and without hesitation, we went to the mosque. The meeting was held and the place was allocated. We were allowed to stop under the roof, the place for the tea after prayer. people asked about life on the road, about Russia, gave us mangustin, very delicious exotic fruit similar to the heads of garlic. The night went calmly. By Tradition Breakfast, collecting things and communicating with local Muslims. In Malaysia, its rules for those who want to stop for the night in the mosque, but if you are a Muslim, there is always a room for you and comfortable conditions for the night.
We've overcome 120 km to the capital. On the way, close to the city found an Iphone 5, we couldnt find the owner and left it for ourself.
Kuala Lumpur is a city in the jungle, which from all sides surround the mountains. In 1957-1963, the capital of the independent Malay Federation, since 1963-Malaysia.
We didn't get off the bike all 3 days that were in the capital. Our host Simon, told us about interesting routes around the city. If you want, you can get to the center through the jungle and small streets with private houses without even feeling you're in activity. It's real and crazy interesting, places we've been so rode around the city, passing small districtsi, where houses are very simple, with a small garden and garages. Honestly, thinking, can move to Kuala Lumpur to live. Buy a cabin, plant a garden well etc. Rode in the botanical garden, cozy benches saved us, as it started to rain, and it was 2 hours, Vasya wrote to the boys from Canada that we are ready to meet. Hannah and Shadi we met at the campsite on the Cameron Higlands. Left in their hostel bikes and went to walk in center. Went to the local Indian restaurant, ate the traditional roti and fried noodles with vegetables. The guys were rest in the KL last night, and we decided to walk together to the famous skyscrapers. Petronas towers have a 451 meter tall. Beautiful modern buildings built in 1998 Crowds of tourists are trying to make perfect pictures in the background of the skyscraper. Hannah and shadi flew to Bali, where we will only be in August-September. Yeah,just bought a plane ticket and a day later on the beach with palms, under an umbrella with cold drinks. When they ask us how long we get to any point of the country, we with a smile answer, maybe a month, maybe a week, we don't know, the plan is gone, there's only a small goal - journey around the world!

Cameron Highlands is a Mountain oasis of tea plantations, all kinds of vegetable, strawberry and flower farms, and the same place with unique mossy forests, and amazing nature at the height of 1500-2000 M! Unforgettable impressions from this place!
The way to Cameron was next - uphill 85 km to height 1600 M! Mother fu**er!!! Sometimes we thought we'd die on particularly steep cuts, especially at the beginning of the way when it was unbearable hot! But with every km up, it was getting fresh and colder! Palm trees changed to other mountain tall trees, raised huge ferns, appeared unusual flowers, everywhere was streams and waterfalls. There we met in a step the 3 meters big lizard, similar to the crocodile. Upstairs, not fnished 20 km to the place, became dark and started to rain, we realized we didn't make it. We waved hand and, stopped a big pickup truck, we loaded the bikes with bags and the driver planted us right up to the campsite we were planning to stay. How we love locals for their kindness and constant desire to help.
And about the weather.
For the first time in six months, we felt the freshness in the air and the coolness, just like in our north forest, it's impossible to explain by words!! That's how we missed the home and our best 15 degrees at night and 25 day is what it takes, constant heat making you crazy.
In the morning, we were knew the most awesome place on the high Highlands Forest (Mossy Forest)t, which was still 12 km up the narrow roads. Of course we guessed it, it's going to be difficult, but it turned out to be a hell of a hard time to carry a bike with a backpack At the top we were wallowed in the heavens, the clouds were clouding us so we just entered this white mass! We didn't know this road was going right through the hills of tea plantations, there's no time to explain by words again to describe it all! We for the first time, honestly, saw how the tea was growing and those bushes were higher than we thought.
Funny was that we carryy these hardest 6 km up and, when we went up already under the evening, there was stupid no place to camp, just a huge wooden ladder of meters on 150 up, with continue this route but by hiking, it's clearly not for us. It was a surprise! It's almost dark, we're in a mystical, Wild Forest, overgrown moss, 2 kilometers altitude and what to do?? Made a decision to ride back down and stop the first flat area for the tent But it was not easy. On the completely quenched brakes, we were ran, ran overtaking the offensive of the dark, looking at the place. Found already almost at the start of the way! S**t! 3 hours we carry all fu***ng heavy weight up to then in 5 minutes come back! It was fun! Night we are in a beautiful place right at the Tea Plantation, on a small glade! We finally started reading books that carrying with ourselves already-9 MONTHS!!! no time!=) The next day we calmly walked among the tea bushes, photo all around, and enjoyed the mountain landscape! We came back in the campsite again, where they met a fun couple from Canada, together watched the Uruguay of France lose and cooked dinner on churcles! At night it was nice to freezing, knowing that tomorrow we are waiting for a real hell heat!!

About KL and Melaka next time!!

02.07.2018 continue of the way..
At 6 am next day, we woke up totally shattered and let's go towards the city of Ipoh (105 km). Even though we were cycling to ipoh, but we didn't knew where we will be sleep in the next 2 days and we needed a host that I couldn't find - in CS we didn't have answers . In the morning, I sent a request for ws and TATATATAM, a miracle, we were invited by the family of cycletravellers Michael and his wife Alice in Ipoh. It's nice to cycling when you know that you're at the end of the way waiting, so we've overcome these 105 km as on the wings. There wasn't easy because of the beginning of the mountain area. All day on the sides, the unusual shape of the mountain, similar to Vietnamese, the road was dancing as a streamer, and in the trees hanging different fruit-durians, mangustiny, rombutany, bananas, coconuts, it seemed like we were going through the garden, actually so it was ! In Ipoh, we spent a wonderful 2 days at Michael and Alice's house, shared travel stories, periodically drove by car to different cafes to eat, I replaced spoke-that was broken on the first day, Yulia had a lot of stuff and threw a couple more pounds of unnecessary things. We didnt walk in the city, beause didnt have a time, just we were shown it from the car window, but also good!

Continue next post! Sory posting very late!! We will be better in next time!

Hey, guys!!!! We have done it!!!
Today we left our loved Pulau Pinang and began continue our crazy trip around the world!!
At the morning we handed over the room keys, packed our backpacks "Pik-99" and moved first to Via Pre Penang best Italian restaurant. We cannot moved without cup strong Italian espresso!! There we said "Chao!" to everybody and ferry brought us to new unexplored land!! We had plan to arrive in Taiping, however we rode just 80 km on the road number 1, last 20 km was under the non-stop no strong rain. Road was flat and samely, sometimes too much loud, sometimes opposite.
We didn't have host in this area and we decided spend night in Mosque, why no? We found small mosque in countryside close to road and ask locals to help us stay here , 30 minutes and we
installed tent. Here no problem with water and bathroom, also we cooked dinner in front tent. Tomorrow will be new day and this day will start at 5 a.m.!!!!! Because 5- 30 will come first people. Tomorrow our plan will ride to IPoh, will see!!!
Good night, moving further!!!!

Along the baikal we rode for 3 days and slept on the shore of 3 nights, it was very diverse, heavy due to mountain roads and unforgettable days! At First, after Cape Shaman, we passed oh the mountaine road the Sludyanskiy Serpantin of 30 km, the coolest species on the snowy peaks on one side and on baikal with another opened on descending when we flew at 40 miles per hour and focused on the road But there's something I've been able to film. Come to the village or the city of bajkalʹsk, which, like all human settlements on baikal, made a very sad impression, old wooden houses, grim gray faces, shows that people don't have jobs and money, no normal store, all as in 90 For years we have been in a state of neglect! It's very sad that near the most great lake in Russia, the world Tourism Center, people live in total ass, the government and the president forget them and put a dick on them! We got to talking to Beau, he said they had a big factory, and after Putin's arrival, he was shut down, hundreds of people lost their jobs, and now someone's been alcoholic who's doing poaching and illegally catching fish!
Entered The Republic of buryatia and slept there in an interesting place on a huge sandy shore, where, in the desert hundreds of square meters, huge wooden trunks and logs were made, it was so spacious and nice to realize that this whole shore was ours!
Every night, we slept near the railroad, and it just went nowhere in the southern part of baikal, right along the coast.
After 3 nights on baikal, we, after reading messages from mes and looking at the weather forecast, also from the fact that every morning it was raining with the wind of the wind, decided to move to ulan-ude on train from grandma's city, it's in buryatia, train there Once a day at 17-45, and we were in a hurry to make it!
In Ulan-ude we are very lucky to find a sleepover at a very good burâtskoj family - Elena and her children érdéni and oûny! Thank you so much for such an emergency hospitality for 2 Nights! We have learned a lot about the nation's people, customs, on national costumes, and asked about further our journey to Mongolia and China! It's good to have such good people!

September 2018. Our Cycletrip.
The second day we called the day of Railway, I'll explain why. On that day, we had a plan to reach baikal (about 50 km). After leaving the place of the camp, there was big uphill on Kultukskij road, 2 km we were driving, the places were just pulling bikes on foot, 2 hours, then the icy rain began and the wind was strong, the higher it was up, the way it was intensified, Jackets have already become wet, we are very frosen and decided to swerve from the track to go down to the nearest village of podkamennaya and drive to Sludyanka-2 station on train (near this station is Cape Shaman-very beautiful place on baikal). At the station we learned that the nearest train would be in 6 HOURS!!! Come to warm up and sit absolutely nowhere, as we were told, " the train station was, but it's been burned long!". we're Russian people, there's nothing to be surprised about, ordinary Siberian The Village, the wilderness! All this time, we've been on the street near the station near the railroad, and we've listened every 10 minutes of the dispatcher , we got all photographed in the county, feeding stray dogs, talking to local drunken guys, "fun" and cold. In the last hour, it turns out that the path of the arrival of our train was carried out by other trains, had to sneak into the dark to the platform. On the arrival of the train, the train driver stubbornly kept us from loading, trying to close the doors and leaving, although he saw how many things we had, and loaded from a low platform took a long time, especially the two of us, but we were helped by supervisors and guards, keeping doors and helping to take
Arrived we are already in full darkness for about 22 hours and we have been dropped directly on rocks between couch, no platform for people at the station no, Russian railways in regions at altitude! We drove up to the shore of baikal, set up a tent in the sand and went to bed without seeing anything but water, because of the dark. When we woke up and came out of the tent, we were shocked by what we saw - a huge blue sea that merges with the sky, amazing mountains and rocks along the shore, wide expanses, beauty!
