We made it!

---

After a grotty day on Saturday, we made it! We ended up going to a medical centre because I felt so bad, we went to the KLCC medical centre which is in the middle of a HUUUUGE shopping centre in the middle of the Petronas Towers (and it was a Saturday, and the beginning of the school holidays) which was pretty intense especially with me in my weak condition!! We made our way through the centre, waiting for lifts while very rude people pushed in front of us and we had to wait for the next one.... (you can tell we're British can't you!! haha). We stuggled to the top floor to find out it was closed!!! But we got to see the towers which were very spectacular, maybe one dday we will be in KL and be well enough to go up them!!! So we headed back to where we were staying and found a pretty cheap clinic (much cheaper than in Bali...). Doc didn't seem worried and I didn't have a fever anymore - isn't that always the way when u see a doctor?? so gave us some stuff to sort it. Spend the rest of the day in bed, managed to get out about 10pm and found a pizza hut.. sorryyy!! We've been banned from eating fried food, spicy food, dairy products, alcohol (which sucks cos now we're on a duty free island!!) and fizzy drinks. So Ben took the cheese off his pizza. I thought screw them and ate it! Had a good night's sleep, and woke up at 8 to see if we were well enough for the trip to Tioman.

Din't feel to bad, so we did it! 8 hours of travelling (5 1/2 on the coach and 2 1/2 on the ferry) and we arrived at Air Batang on the Island of Tioman! At blimming last:P We have a little chalet with HUGE ants but they are everywhere here so I don't think there's any avoiding the creepy crawlies. It's proper paradise like!!! They say it's busy but we've seen about 10 tourists max. It's basically jungle, chalet, beach, sea. Palm trees and everything!! Last night we could see a storm going on on the mainland and the lightning looked awesome. Now, unfortunately that has reached us and it's raining! Won't be for long though. Apparently there's some other people from Reading here but we hacven't seen them yet. Small world eh? Reading is famous around the world now because of the football, you can actually tell people you live there and they will say ahhh they are good at football! hehe

Love to all

P.S. Grandad, if you wanna find where we are it's I think the third beach down from the top on the west side! The one above the town anyway.. I think..:P
