Day 4 Drove from Muar to Johore Bahru dated 25 July 2024

On the 4th day of the trip, I drove from Muar to Johore Bahru. The drive took me about 2.5 hours as I wasn’t driving fast .

We arrived in Johore Bahru after lunch . We stop by the highway R&R and had our lunch and more fish asam pedas . The fish asam pedas was pretty good . After putting our luggage into our hotel room , we went to visit my cousin Ati. I had informed her prior to my visit so she knew we were coming .

She has kept the downstairs part of the house neat & clean
I want this garden bench but need to restore it first .
Dresser where my late aunt kept all of her chinaware & crockery . Also needs to be restored.
The dresser is sturdy piece of furniture . I got the measurements for the dresser.

The front glass for the dresser was broken . For the dresser to be used, the glass needs to be replaced firstly . Its an old dresser belonging to my late aunt from whom I bought the Muar house from . There is space for it in the kitchen cum dining room . I have to figure out the logistics of getting it fixed and transporting it from Johore Bahru to Muar . The dresser and garden bench probably needs to be restored in Muar , sigh . I have to find a restorer in Muar, sigh .

Flower pots in my late aunt’s garden that Ati will give to me . My late uncle was a bonsai & orchid enthuasist . He also had a small aviary (?)  of birds  that he kept in the garden.

We took Ati out for dinner at the infamous Kacang Pol Haji Shop. We went around driving around Johore Bahru but Ati is a poor tourist guide . She does not know the scenic roads with houses  facing Selat Trebau haha. She told me she only drives out when necessary.
