A little note to you both... 'Thanks so much for treating us we have had a fantastic time with you both and we will both miss you loads and Steve, it's such a shame we didn't video you doing your widths!'

So happy to have the extra leg room seats... Air Asia makes Ryanair leg room look spacious!

Our plane we just came off next to a highly decorated other plane

Our flight wasn't too bad considering it was a cheap budget flight only costing £40pp. It did in fact arrive 25 mins early!

Very very sleepy but excited

Luxury trains

Where Chris' dad said we should be staying

Then after buying a local sim card ad topping it up with credit (that didn't work) we headed off to find accomodation. We managed to find somewhere not excatly cheap but really nice at £32 pn and chilled out for the night pretty exhausted and ordered a Dominoes PIzza!

Our first sighting of the towers

Beautiful and clean KL, complete opposite to India!

Me and the towers

Chris and the towers

Everywhere we go we have the twin towers in our photos they are that huge

Walking around the lovely KL park

The largest twin towers in the world

Malls all decorated for Chinese New Year

Sitting in a cafe in a nice air-conditioned mall to cool down

Lovely day!

Oh, apart from the fact that we discovered this morning when changing our clothes that Chris left his favourite t-shirt and all of his underwear apart from pair he was wearing back in Sri Lanka! Good job there's a Debenhams in KL!!

I tried proper Malaysian food this evening. Still not convinced that I like it though! Dessert tasted like dentist mouth wash mixed with soup whilst the soup was a little bland...

My first Malaysian dish

Chris breathing in Curry Laksa, yummy !

Chris excited about his not-so-delicious dessert

Chris enjoying his strange Ice dessert

Chris dribbling his dessert

Chris will KILL me for saying this though! I think I'm going to struggle the over the next few months with Asian food!

KL monorail

then a train to the bus station where we went to the LCC Terminal.

Rustic, but very clean inside

The outside of our flat

Our living room

Our kitchen

Our messy little room

Our flight wasn't until 1am so quite a long day of just hanging around and waiting...

Our plane to Manila

At just gone 1am we boarded our flight to Manila, the capitol of the Philippines which took around 3 1/2 hours.

Our customary on flight photo

Happy about having extra-leg room seats from KL to Manila

When we arrived in Manila there was very little to do but take little power naps and drink rubbish coffee for 7 hours before our next flight to Tuguegarao

Our plane run on propellers

Our tiny plane

Chris all squished in

Chris and I very sleepy on the plane to Santa Ana

where we kindly were picked up Trev and taken to his beautiful resort in Sanata Ana! How exciting! We have a lovely room surrounded by lovely people for the next 2 months! Perfect!

Trev, Jo and Me

Chris is quite in his element here in Trev's and Jo's resort already taking over the kitchen sharpening knives for hours and cooking his first Filipino dish, whilst I've been trying out my Excel skills drafting out spreadsheets and researching Valentine Menus!

3am in the bar

Last night after I had already written the blog entry we stayed up late drinking with some of locals on the beach, one even sneakily stealing a bottle of our wine!! So today we were a little tender slowly doing some work taking a little rest bite on the beach occasionally; Chris doing a little fishing and myself some reading...

The pool at night

You would think we were in the U.K by taking a look at the weather here, so we have mainly been working inside on the computer in the kitchen today as there's very little else to do except taking a walk earlier when it stopped raining for 1/2 hour. We haven't even been in the pool or sea as yet as it's too cold!!

Enjoying a glass of wine

We've just been doing a little bit of work followed by a little relaxing taking walks along the beach with Trev and his dog Max, we just hope that the weather clears up a little before Valentine's Day!
