Through the Cameron Highlands

Today I made a guided tour to the Gunung Brinchang, the Mossy Forrest and the BOH tea factory. Normally I avoid to use packaged tours, because they are focussed on general tourist points. I was really thrilled from this tour (made by Cameron Secrets, http://www.cameronsecrets.com/). The...

Feet up

Ah. A bit of 5-star comfort after the trials of India and China. (Actually the accommodation in China was very good). But still nice to be at a beach in Malaysia with nothing to do for 4 nights. And good to catch up with my mum and Bob. There isn't actually a huge amount to do in Penang, and...

I arrive in Kuala Lumpur Sept 5th for an intended 2 day stop over in Chinatown before taking to the beach of Cherating. But as I am unable to get everything back in my backpack or carry it without the support of a taxi, I stay in Kuala Lumpur four days. Wandering about, breaking for...
