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 [View Full Entry]

Ok hi once more this latest installment is from Perhentian Islands to Kuala Lumpur, where we are at the moment. After leaving the islands we were dropped off in Kuala Besut, a small village by the sea. We were planning on catching a bus directly to KL but the only departure that day was at midnight. We didnt want to hang about for 10 hours so we got a bus to Kuala Terranganu instead, which is on the way to KL anyway. We then wanted to get straight on another bus to KL but they were all full until the [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

Cameron Highlands

 Asia » Malaysia » Pahang » Tanah Rata
Hello again - this time we are doing two blogs at once - one for the Cameron Highlands, and the second for the Perhentian Islands. We havn't updated for a while and this way we can keep the pictures seperate. Sorry for the delay, we actually wrote these blogs a few days ago but have had difficulties getting the pictures online. Anyway here they are... So after we left Penang we were hoping to get a bus across the country to Kuala Besut where we could then catch the boat to the Perhentian Islands. We arrived at the bus station [View Full Entry]

Well hello once again. This latest installment takes us from Koh Tao on to Koh Phangan, then to Phuket via Surat Thani, Phang-nga and finally Krabi. Quite a lot of travelling in the last week or so, firstly we took the boat to Koh Phangan the morning after our last blog. We decided that we would head for the north of the island to a place called Hat Khuat, or Bottle Beach to the farang. It sounded a bit more chilled out than Hat Rin where all the partying is. The only way to reach Bottle Beach is by boat, [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

We thought we would do a quick update today since we needed a computer to transfer all of our 600 pictures to cd so we can take some more. 600!! I admit there not all great but at least we have a good record of what has happened so far because my memory is terrible. So we left Hua Hin yesterday morning and took the bus to Pranburi. The bus was great, and by that i mean really old and made out of that material they use to make props at the theatre. It looks like metal but you dont [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]
