                    <title>Days 2021  A little stroll through the jungle</title>
                    <description>I was back in another airport waiting for another flight this time to Medan in Indonesia to go back in the rainforest again. The flight only took an hour and caught a taxi to Kampang Lalang which could loosely be described as a bus station. From there I caught a minibus to Bukit Lawang on arrival a guy came up to be and offered me a lift to my hostel for 5000rp. There are 14000rp to 1 so whe</description>

                    <description>I was off to the famous Singapore zoo today but I totally messed up with my travel arrangements to get there I made a cursory glance at my itinerary and remember it said to get to Woodlands MRT station from where you get a bus. However when I got there after 50 mins to the tube I couldnt find any bus to be seen after walking round looking like a complete numpty for 10 mins a lovely old lady t</description>

                    <title>Days 16  17 Singapore and no shopping</title>
                    <description>The next day I had a morning in Kota Kinabalu before my flight to Singapore KK as its commonly known is the capital of Malaysian Borneo. It certainly isnt a beautiful city and this is largely due to the fact that we bombed it to the ground in WWII when it was occupied by the Japanese. There is a new shopping centre which is a great escape from the heat and humidity and a good place to get s</description>

                    <description>The following day was my only day of rest for the whole trip I had no snorkelling trips planned and would be spending it lazing round the resort. My plans were changed somewhat as I did intend to do some snorkelling on my own around the reef that borders the island of Mabul but it rained virtually all day so spent the time just chilling.ltspangtltspangtltspangtltspangt Mabul Islan</description>

The temperature of the pool was a lovely 38 degrees and the sun was out too.  The blistering temperatures of around 14 degrees was enough to give me a bit of a tan b</description>
