Howdy partners! Since the last blog we spent another night in KL then decided to move on to Melacca the next day. The bus journey took around 2 hours and we stayed at Seria's hostel which was very basic but the owner was so welcoming and told us to treat it as we would our own home. That evening we went out for our dinner and decided to catch another movie at the cinema inside the shopping mall, it was transformers and not bad for a kids film. The next day we decided to go and do some sightseeing and follow a walking route that is in the lonely planet guide. First stop was an art gallery and a youth museum which were ok, well the museum was rubbish and the art gallery was not ... read more

The journey from Cameron Highlands to Kuala Besut Jetty was an 8 hour journey in a minivan that holds 10 people. There were 10 of us plus 9 big backpacks! A bit of tight sqeeze. The start of the journey was not so bad, as i said before its really cool up in the highlands but after an hour so you caould feel the temperature creeping up as we got lower and lower. Luckliy for us, three of the girls were not going the whole way and that got us a bit of extra leg room but we were all happy to get out of there and on to the boat. The boat was a Fast Boat - thats what it said on the front - and we had to choose which of the beaches ... read more

Hello again, this time from Koh Tao. Since we last updated you we have continued on down the coast towards Malaysia. We had decided that we wanted to go to Ban Krut, a little beach town where we had seen a nice looking hostel on the internet. We couldnt get there in one journey from Hua Hin so we stopped over in Pratchuap Kiri Khan for the night. Not much to report there it was a little fishing town we didnt bother exploring too much. We had some dinner at a restaurant next to the hotel we found. It was funny because the English menu wasn't translated very well, so you got choices like 'fresh seasonal' and other nonsense. We tried to ask whether it was fruit or vegatables but didn't get much luck. So ... read more

Hi everybody sorry for the delay in the next blog we have not been bothered to sit down at a computer it is so hot and humid. So we are now in Thailand. Over the last week we have done quite a bit of moving about since we last updated from Shanghai. From there we got the sleeper train down to Hong Kong, ferry to Macau and plane to Bangkok shortly followed by another train to Hua Hin where we are now. So much has happened over the last week or so that we really cant remember or be bothered to write it all but we'll do our best. So here goes.. Some day last week (its getting hard to keep count now) We left Shanghai after staying there for about a week. We both ... read more
