After a long sleep in the cave, the second begins with smoked-tasted toast from ubai with jam and hot chocolate or tea. This trekking was more relaxed, no burning boat ride. For midday we've made our lunch at a river with kind of sea. Here we were going for fishing and some more liane action. For the last we make a short stop at the orang asli, the origins who are the only ones who are still living in the jungle. They are able to make fire and constructing blow pipes. With the poison of the plants they are hunting for animals in the jungle.... read more

From Taman Negara to the Cameron Highlands was a small adventure. In the morning we took the local bus to Jerantut for 7 RM (1,5 euro). In Jerantut there are no direct connections to the Cameron Highlands. So we took the train to drive to Gua Musang, a stop-over town between these two regions. But also there are no public transports to the Cameron Highlands. But at the train station a malay was asking us 'where you wanna go'. For 150 RM (30 euro) he offered us to drive us to the CH. At this journey Andi the Trier from Germany joined our journey and the time in Cameron Highlands. We arrived late at 17 o'clock, and after the 3rd accommodation we found a room to stay. But just for one night, the whole was very ... read more

We're ready for the jungle. Through Tembeling we're reaching the Taman Negara by boat and get some first impressions of the diversities of this nature resort. Selamat Datang - Welcome to Kuala Tehan, the headquarter of the Taman Negara jungle resort. With two french people we're spending the time dans le terrible jungle ou le lions dorment se soir (Merci pour vous compagnie). In Kuala Tehan some restaurants are based on pondons at the Tahan river. The Tahan river builds the life resource of this astonishing jungle resort.... read more

I arrive at Kuala Lumpur without feeling too overly excited, having stopped there two times before, and roughly knowing what awaits me. The bus ride to the city and the train ride to a suburb are quite hassle-free. When I walk through the exit gate of the train station, a mean-looking conductor motions for me to throw my ticket into the bin so I can't reuse it. Interesting system. When it comes to getting a taxi, though, I'm a bit at a loss as to how that system works. People seem to queue up for taxis, at least some of them, other ones are just hanging around. There are not enough taxis, so I have to wait for half an hour until I get one to drop me off at my host's place, which is a ... read more

Ok. To je ze prevec smesno. Sedim v nekem internet kaficu nad restavracijo, stanujem pa pri lastniku vsega tega kompleksa za to noc. Srfam in jem in pijem in spim zastonj. Ampak do te bizarne situacije pridemo po korakih. Torej, se dobro, da sem si vceraj vzela na easy, ker sem zadnji moment, ko sem sla ob 18h tako malo za boljsi obcutek preveriti nekaj glede danasnjih prevozov v tourist info center. Izkazalo se je, da tisti bus, ki bi moral biti ob 8.30 za Segamat, pelje sele najprej ob 9.30, kar je absolutno prepozno za ujet vlak v Gemas in potem naprej v Gua Musang. Hmmmm. V cetrt ure sem tako z dvema ultra prijaznima usluzbenkama sestavila povsem novo strategijo: na stop do Melaka Sentral, z busom do Tampina, z vlakom do Gemasa in z ... read more
