Concern&Care Society: April 2012

3 Recce trips were made, one on 16-17 Apr and a 2nd one on 6 May 12.

The first one (on 2 cars) was to go through the route, look at the hotels and also to meet some people in M'sia. We stayed overnight at Joan's condo in Melaka. Malcolm, Thomas, Henry, Benny, Joan, Teck Sing, Ah Zhen, Annie and TSK were on the trip.

The second one (by bus to Seremban then between Seremban and Putrajaya on bicycle).

Henry and Benny took 2 bikes, travel on a bus from Singapore to Seremban, and then cycle to Putrajaya to 'test and confirm' the route. This was done before the second recce. They were quite lost and when they reached the Hotel Putrajaya, it was quite late in the evening. They had wanted to stay overnight there initially but the hotel looks expensive and they decided to return home the same day. They were very grateful when they met a 'samaritan' who helped them fetch them and the bikes to a nearby station where they took a train/coach back to Singapore. According to Henry, their mobile phone battery were very low. He only had the chance to sms his family to say that they will be back by morning!

The third one (on car) was more to confirm the route and take note of possible lunch points. Henry, Benny and TSK were on this trip.

As can be seen from the photos below, it was not an easy feat even though we were travelling by car (ie not bicycles)... lost our way a few times.
