But I have been involved in an adventure that went beyond any I ever had before. Am I exaggerating? I do not think so. Last week I went with Johan, an 8 years old Malaysian boy out for a bike ride from Pangkor to Penang. It was a lot of fun as you can read further in the

Sometimes even I wonder what people are able to do! Johan is the son of my friend Nazlina who you may remember from here adventures on bicycle at Pangkor

She like it so much she came back with her children

Her oldest son Johan was impressed by Pangkor and wanted to do some cycling himself. So Johan stayed some time with me. Together we cycled to the mainland beaches of Teluk Rubiah, Teluk Batik and even Teluk Senangin. It seems Johan couldn't get tired. So we cycled at Pulau Pangkor to the Dutch Fort and the Fu Lin Kong Temple but it wasn't enough for Johan. So I proposed Nazlina to bring Johan back to home to Penang where they live by bicycle. Nazlina was ok with the idea and Johan and I left for a very special adventure.

Our journey would take five days with one day rest in Taiping where we would visit the Zoo. It seemed a good plan. When we started it became a fantastic experience for Johan but also for me. In the years I have been cycling I seldom found so much fun and learned so much as in this journey. You can read all about our journey from Pangkor to Penang here:

Hotels at Pangkor during the Christmas week

Christmas is a busy time. It's the same in Malaysia where Christmas is widely celebrated. The week between Christmas and New Year is traditionally a busy one. So if you are intended to come to Pangkor, make sure you have made your booking. Personal recommended hotels are Nipah Bay Villa at Teluk Nipah:

The New Years challenge

What are your plans for the next year? Maybe you are thinking of visiting Pangkor next year but still have to save extra money? Or you need to buy a new car because the old one is rambling down? Extra money is something we all need from time to time.

What if you have already a website? Could you make some money from your website? If you do what I did, for sure you can. But how to do it? I have an e-book that explains in detail how to build a website that sells your product or your knowledge. Yes, knowledge sells too. The Pulau-pangkor.com website is a good example. However, traveling is not the only subject you can use to make some money. But who am I to tell you if what subject to choose or even if this system works, why not read what others experienced with the system I use:
