On to Borneo

A lovely, developed city. We spent St Patrick's Day here. The good news wass there was plenty of Guinness, the bad news was that it wasn't developed enough to have a bar sto show Wales beating England.

Briefly

We actually only spent about 30 seconds here as we went from one bus to another one!

Up the coast at Kuala Terengganu

From the jetty in Kuala Dungun we caught a bus up the coast to a hotel we had pre-booked on the internet - this turned out to be a Best Western hotel, oh well not everything can be perfect. As in England not everything at the Best Western is best, however this one does have a few cards up its...

Tenggol Island

We arrived in Dungun to find a town of no taxis. We spoke to some lads in a phone stall next to the bus stop to find out our choice was to walk and find the hotel in a completely new town or try and catch a very hit and miss local bus service. After looking at the size of our packs and the fact...

KL

We left our rainforest retreat and headed on a bus, then a coach to KL. After 7 hours on the bus/coach we arrived! The taxi driver told us we arrived at the right time as they were having the last night celebrations for the Chinese new year with party and free food! The Hotel we checked into...

More food...

The last three weeks have absolutely flown past, Kimba has already gone home, and we'll be heading off to our respective countries in two days time. Finally done some more sightseeing, which we managed to squeeze inbetween meals. Kimbas' aunt (film star in Malaysia back in the day) took us...

Culture Vulture... I only eat culture that's already dead

WOW! Ok, say this to yourself (don't feel silly, just say it) "Putra Jaya". Now, if you sat there and said anything like "Poo-tra-jai-ya" you're half way there. I'm now making fun of the extremely Occa and Aussie way that I mis-pronounced what is actually this really amazing and almost...

Jungle and the city

Explored some more in the last few days, knocking the major tourist stuff off the list. There is so Buket Bintang, Menara Kuala Lumpur (big tower), and a little Jungle walk too. The food in Kuala Lumpur is to die for, we've had Japanese, Thai, Australian, Spanish tapas and all of it has been...

So yes - sweet

So, seeing as Tom and I will be travelling together for the rest of the trip (score), we did discuss the possibility of having a shared blog. But, it's a lot of commitment, and due to the potential of artistic differences (ok, really we have different ideas on what my nana might like to hear...
