Jasne,ze rano som mal vsetky veci vlhke.Nastastie svietilo slnko.Na ranajky som sa zastavil tak ako vcera v stanku pri hlavnej ceste.Len cul som si dal rzu a vajicko natvrdo.Zaujimave,ze po zjedeny uz predavali aj klasicke.Este mi doniesli aj kavu ale tu som si neobjedla tak som ju tam nechal a zaplatil len za jedlo. Asi boli popleteny,bo hned za mnu si objednaval jedlo jeden zapadniar.Pri plateny mi chceli nauctovat jeho jedlo,tak som ukazal na toho bieleho,potom sa mi velice ospravedlnovali. Isiel som podla mapy na trek c.7.Dojdem k nemocnici, pytam sa, ze ci idem dobre. Vraj nie, tak som to zvrtol opat k vodoapdu a siel trek c.8 Cakalo ma blato,vlhko a stupanie.Cesta bola niekedy uplne zarastena asi moc ludi tadto nechodi.Dosol som na rozbocku.Cul kam? chvalabohu tam bol motuz a oznam,zla cesta.Inde nebola znacka ziadna,tak ... read more

Nechcelo sa mi vstavat o 6/00 a tak som potiahol do 8/00,co bola chyba. Na ranajky som si dal 2 placky a siel na bus c.101.Ten dosol za minutu.Nastupil som zadnymi dverami,vodic nechcel peniaze.Som sa tesil,ze usetrim.Hned na dalsej zastavke bus zastal,pauza 17 minut.Ostatny ludia isli na 102,ale ten nesiel k jetty.Tak som pockal.Nastupil klasicky predkom a zaplatil 4r.Bus bol plny. Vystupil som asi po hodine na konecnej jetty,teda pristav. Nadchodom som sa pobral na lod.Bola gratis.Na bus stanicu co je hned vedla pristavu na druhej strane som dosol o 10/00. Bus do kuala perly isiel az o 14/00. Jeden isiol do blizkeho mesta ale nechcel som riskovat ,ze sa odtial nedostanem a nestihnem lod,preto ostrov langkawi vypustam zo svojich planov. Zobral som bus do Ipohu.Fakt paradne sedadla ,vedla mna si sadla indka s detskom, hlavne, ... read more

On our penultimate evening in the Taman Negara we decided to lash out and buy in to a safari, well at least it was called a night safari. What it turned out to be was a drive around one of the local palm oil plantations in the dark, sat on the roof of a land rover with the guide casting the beam from a high powered torch into the trees. Such a venture couldn't take place in the national park since there is no vehicular access, so a plantation was the next best thing, at least it had loads of trees. It started promisingly, we almost immediately saw an owl in the beam of the spotlight, but after that it petered out. We saw a few cows, a cat - sadly not a puma type cat, ... read more

If ever two nights and three days were to stand out in our travelling experiences, these are the ones. I (M) booked this adventure knowing that we would be stepping outside our comfort zones, and we were willing to stretch ourselves a bit. We thought to leave our two duffel bags at the Maytower hotel, in free storage, and just take our smaller backpacks with us, a decision that made our trip simpler and much more enjoyable. After taxiing to our meeting point in Chinatown, we registered along with about 20 others, all of course at least 20+ years our junior. We boarded a reasonably modern bus and headed 3 hours into the centre of the peninsula to Jerantut, where we were given lunch before we boarded another bus for the jetty on the Tembeling River. ... read more

Im Hotel ist deutlich weniger los, 80% der Gäste sind wegen dem Ferienende abgereist, wir sind fast allein. Gebliebenen sind nur eine etwas übergewichtige indische Familie, ein streng moslemisches Pärchen und ein Chinese aus dem Süden Malaysia mit starkem Hang zum Konsum übermäßiger Mengen Hummers. Annett bleibt mit Aaron im Hotel und sie besuchen ausgiebig den Pool, den Aaron ab jetzt mehr oder weniger für sich allein hat. Der Strand ist menschenleer, wirklich schade dass man wegen der Quallen nicht schwimmen gehen kann. Vielleicht sind sie ja inzwischen verschwunden, aber man möchte halt nicht der Testkandidat sein. Zu einem großen Strandspaziergang ist es ideal und man kann immer noch eine Menge entdecken. Angespülte Tintenfische und Quallen, Palmenstämme etc. Ich mache mit dem Auto einen Erkundungsausflug zu den etwa 70km entfernt liegenden Charas Höhlen. Nach einer knappen ... read more
