Arghhh!

Another drive down to Kuala Lumpur and since it's the festivities, the journey was longer than usual. This time it was 6 hours! Pretty normal for me by now, damn!

I just wondered all the hours I've wasted on the road during the past 6 weeks - that's a huge

number! I know there's a saying which goes "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey that counts", but if this is the case week in , week out, then I have to find another option to travel I guess.

However, I have to admit that there's something which I love during all my journeys between Penang - Kuala Lumpur on PLUS - and that's the Menora Tunnel! The whole stretch just feels good, with it's corners, winding roads, the view, the trees and eventually, the tunnel itself, which I think it's a engineering marvel. Just the way the rocks which form the hill slope is cut and the road is build along the outer line of the hill.

The trees and vegetation on your way up to the tunnel.

Well, yet another slow moving jam due to the festivities.

The solid rock hill slope which had been cut, quite mind blowing.

The Menora Tunnel.

At least the Nasi Lemak Bumbung for dinner at the end of the drive compensated for some of the irritation I had due to 6 hours journey :).
