Day 2 - Sunday 11th September Weather – hot, sunny (about 33c) dry Up this morning about 9am to greet our first morning in Malaysia! We started off with a plate of beautiful, fresh fruit that Janet had bought for us (thanks Janet!) before heading off for breakfast at Syed Bistro – a local South Indian place – for roti canai (roti bread and curry to dip it in) and tea tarik (pulled tea).
