Nathan managed to grab the ferry to Malaysia on Tuesday and was re-united with Dot at the other end. But everything comes at a price, especially around Indonesia, so Nathan wasn’t suprised when the chap at the port demanded an additional £60 to take Dot out of quarantine and hand her back to her rightful owner.
Well, he wasn’t going to go far without Dot so he swallowed his pride and paid up.
But no sooner had Nathan got back out on the open road, Dot started to splutter and wheeze. She needs a doctor, or a mechanic, fast.
Enter Mr. Hong Chye, mechanic extraodinaire and the saviour of the trip.
Contrary to the hassle and heckling of Indonesia, Malaysian Mr. Chye seemed to take a shine to Dot. He took a glance at her 110cc engine, tickled her valves and tinkered with her poorly bits, until she was back to her normal self.
And it seems Mr. Chye was so taken with Dot that he didn’t want a penny for the pleasure of stroking her engine parts. What a pleasant suprise, thank you Mr. Chye.
So with her engine roaring to go, Nathan and Dot carry on into Malaysia. To the unknown and beyond…
