28th Wednesday, September 2011.
Left the hotel at Simpang ( Taiping ) at 8.00 a.m and stopped for breakfast 5 kms later.The road is almost straight for most of the way from Simpang to Butterworth. As usual I find the road signs very confusing and on several occasions we took the wrong way, trying to avoid the highway and ending up going a longer route.
I have travelled the route countless times and on reaching Kampung Kedah ( 2.5 km ) Parit Buntar I always stop at the 'Masjid Hijau' graveyard where my late mother, father, uncle and other family members are buried, to say some prayers.
The plan was to reach Sg. Petani but as the hot sun sapped most of our energy, we had to stop for the night, some 8 km from Sg Petani. Alor Star is only about 60 km from here, so we will surely go beyond to Jitra or even Changlun.
