Snorkelling but so far no sharks...

This morning we woke up and walked 2 beaches away apparently with the best snorkelling. And to be fair it sure was fantastic, with some amazing coral and fishies. Ther are supposed to be loads of ssharks swimming around and we are desperate to see one, if not more, but as yet our luck...

Penang

Penang is an island in Malaysia with no redeeming features. It was very hot. There was so much traffic without any pedestrian crosswalks that it was difficult for us to cross the street, so we decided, after wandering around for a few hours, to return to our floating paradise.

Kuala Lumpur

Port Klang is the port for KL which is about a 2-hour drive away. Several years ago it had the tallest building in the world, the Petronas Towers. Then the tallest was in Taipei, the 101, and now it is in Dubai. We decided not to go to KL since we had already been there before.

Nothing entirely memorable happened today but it was roastingly hot, so a good excuse to spend the day in a beach bar!

Cheap £4 a night accomodation

Today we left KL and headed to Cherating with lovely beaches, chilled atmosphere and seiously cheap rooms for £4 a night. Bargain! Admittedly they aren't the nicest and with shared bathrooms but it's clean enough!
