We were the last people on the bus and the driver stopped, jumped [View Full Entry]

Ok so we actually flew into Kuala Lumpur which is Malaysia I know. We flew with Air Asia the budget airlines and it wasn't too bad but it wasn't great either. We got to our pension at about 10pm, our room was tiny 4 walls, air con, and a bed. We crashed out straight away but woke up at 3am with lovely jet lag, we tossed and turned for so long that by 8am we got up to explore KL. The pension offered us breakfast but we were a little put of by the brown water from the tap, disgusting. So [View Full Entry]

I have fallen in love with this part of the world, Cinque Terre translates to 5 lands in english and is the most amazing place I have seen in the whole time I have traveled.
