During our SeniorsAloud Community walks, our leader suggested going on a three-day, two-night excursion to Ipoh, Perak and my wife and I were thrilled to join the trip.

Our group travelled on the Electric Train Service (ETS) from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh. It was our first time travelling by ETS, and the journey took about two hours and 15 minutes.
