Selamat datang

After a squillion hours of travel (most of them quite fine..) I have arrived in Kuala Lumpur! It's amazingly muggy, but the view from the balcony, more than makes up for it! We're staying with Tom's parents here, and we're having a great time. Catching up with Kimba today, as soon as she...

Seeing the sights in Kuala Lumpur

So, we turned up at 8am to catch the bus back to Jerantut, and were subsequently told that we should have reconfirmed as there wasn't enough space on the bus. I put up a storming protest, which centred around blaming someone else (the rep back in Jerantut) for the error. After a little debate...

Getting covered in bat shit in the jungle

As I returned to my Guesthouse in Kota Baharu, I found 2 German guys that I'd met on the Perhentian Islands there too; Marcus (who'd been my diving buddy in my Open Water course), and his friend Flo. They're making their way to New Zealand, where they'll be till January before heading home. My...

Getting covered in bat shit in the jungle 2

Eager to escape our effeminate enclosure, we set off into the jungle that afternoon for more macho pursuits. A 1 and 1/2 hour trek through rainforest followed by a canopy walk fit the bill perfectly. The canopy walk was around 30 metres above the jungle floor, over flimsey bits of wood laid...

Perhentian part 2

I met some really interesting people on the island: - one guy had spent the last 15 months travelling to this point from England overland. The southern route too - which took him through Iran and Pakistan, and along the Afghanistan border. He reckoned Iran was the most friendly place he's...

Learning to dive in the Perhentians

The journey down to Sungai Kolok at the Malaysian border went without a hassle. It just took a bloody long time. On the second mini-bus I'd had to take I got chatting to 3 guys from Leeds who were also on their way to the Perhentians. When we got to Sugai Kolok it was pitch black outside. ...

Malaysia Part II continued...

.....Taman Negara. Yes, we knew we would come here....its just not possible to do Malaysia without a trip to the rainforest and do the famed canaopy walkway, and take in the breathtaking sights of the surrounding area and villages. So it was decided: we got oursleves back from the un-inspiring...
