End of Borneo

We've finally arrived back to where we started our Borneo trip, in Kota Kinabalu. The last week has been predominatly relaxing and exhilerating. We left Semporna on a small boat headed for the tiny island of Mabul. When we arrived we were slightly disappointed by the facilities! The accomodation...

GPS Logging and Tagging

Today some words to the GPS Logging and Tagging I use during my journey. I use the Locosys Genie GT-31 GPS logger, which records every 15 seconds my current geo position (http://www.gogps.ch) This information enables to trace my tours on Google Earth. Example: The tour of one day on...

Some days in Melaka, Malaysia

I travelled from Kuala Lumpur for some days to Melaka. There I stayed in the Jalan Jalan Guesthouse I tested the first time for me to stay in the dorm: It's like a youth hostel in my school time. But it works and it's very cheap (Euro 2,60 per night). And it's the best...

Mountains and Monkeys

It may come as a surprise to some, but we've actually survived to tell the tale of Mount Kinabalu, so here it is! We arrived at the foot of the mountain on the 7th Feb, and after a day of acclimatising and getting used to the bitter temperatures we thought we'd left behind in England, we hit...

Dragon Dance, Putrajaya and public buses in KL

After a long night before, hanging out with friends in KL, I was waked up at 9:30 am (for me at this morning very early) by drums outside. At the first moment I hoped, that it will stop after a few minutes ... but it didn't. So I left my bed and went outside. There I found the reason: Chinese...
