After over 8000 miles we leave behind the largest landmass of Eurasia. We have crossed the sea and reached Perawang on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia

We are only 4 miles behind target. Astonishing!

Perwang has a couple of hotels (both 3*), but the highlight appears to be the Taman Wisata “amusement park” that features swimming and fishing (separate locations). The fishing is particularly popular.

The usual maps:

The last few sights before leaving Malaysia…

The first port on Sumatra…

The roads here are beautifully straight. Quality tarmac.

And Perwang…

Keep it up everyone!
