AWOKE AT 5AM TO CATCH THE JUNGLE TRAIN TO JERANTUT.
Tune Hotel. We left early in the morning to catch the East Coast Line Train south from Wakah Bharu. We were the first at the train station. Early in the morning. A ferris wheel lit up the morning and brightened Ezra’s eyes. Eventually other people and foreigners started showing up and we caught the train without incident. I should write about the cracked window of my seat and how the seat was not my seat in reality after a quick thought and a prayer. “That’s just a girl with a SMOKER.” Lots of people smoke in these parts. The train ride was exciting for the first hour and then slowly the excitement wore off. Over the next seven hours, especailly when the A/C seemed to stop working. Ezra fell asleep 15 minutes before we had to deboard. So, Dwana had to carry Ezra off the train, while I carried all of the bags. We scampered through town and found found our hotel with A/C not problem. We just follewed some other backpackers off of the train. The Town-Inn. I sought out some local pizza, some cold drinks and some ice cream bars and popped in a movie for the kids and we tried to chill out. The train ride, the taxi ride in the morning had zero headlight. A funny God one for Dwana. This entire part of our trip, I have been trying to clue into the God-happenings around me, around us. So many happening. So glad that we are all healthy and we have a good place to sleep with a view of Jerantut.
