A bit more of the 14 hr train to Butterworth


This was much of what we saw: steamy jungles giving way to massive palm oil plantations. It reminds one of the vinyards of California. There is either a great market for what is produced or land owners THINK there is a great market for the product.

Yes, our car was this empty for most of the 14 hours. There was an hour of an family with 3 annoyingly rowdy little boys. The youngest running up and down the aisle dropping all the food trays at all the seats. He had a great time! grrrrr.

Typical street scene. Many folks waved and smiled. Not so much when it was raining. It was a very relaxing ride.

Coming up on Kuala Lampur which we opted to skip since we're not fond of great large metropolises (or is it metropolisii?)
