I popped over to the national park very briefly in the morning just to walk around the Swamp Loop a bit, although I couldn't spend very long. I didn't see anything particularly interesting but you never know. The only fairly common target species that I missed was hanging parrot. I missed pittas too but needed to go further to have a decent chance. The bus left from just down the road that turns off at school, by the row of shops. Kuala Tahan has a disproportionately large school because it provides basic education for the Orang Asli children in all the nearby villages. It's about 70km to Jerantut which is about an hour and a half on the bus and and easy direct bus, though only twice a day at 10 and 5 and 8 and ... read more

Dnes som chcel vyliezt na bukit tabur lenze to by som nesmel vstat o 10.00. Nastasti nahradny program mi zabezpecil portal couchsurfing. Rozposlal som ponuky na stretko babam co su prave teraz v kl. Ozvala sa mi indonezka s jogjy. Stretavame sa na pasar seni. Navigujem ju na postu, posiela daku zasielku. Ja zatial vonku ranajkujem roti placky, ktore mi predavac zabalil do novin. Nasadame do free busu GOKL a zacina okruzna jazda po kl. Postupne testujeme vsetky linky, fialovu, modru, zelenu, cervenu. Tour z busu ok ale predsa len pesi je pesi. No to by sa dnes absolvovat nedalo, vkuse prsi. Na niektorych miestach nestaci voda odtekat do kanalu a tvoria sa male jazierka. Cs je zabavna, tak clovek ani nesleduje moc okolie. Na 1.5mesiaca ide pracovat na lombok. Indonezia je pre nu top krajina ... read more

Po fajn spanku smer obrovska perdana botanicka zahrada kde sa nachadza trebars bird park, motyli park, policajne muzeum atd. Pranie nakoniec riesim o poschodie nizsie. Tetula vravi, ze sa plati pausalne za pranie 15rm, tak prihadzujem este nepremokave nohavice. Povodne som ich nechcel dat prat (stratia nieco z ucinnosti proti vode) ale fakt smrdia. Na ranajky sa zastavujem na parkovisku pri pasar seni. Konecne indicke roti so super omackou a cajom s mliekom. Caj sa po indicky povie rovnako ako u nas caj. Stanica pasar seni je pekne vynovena, i ked upravy este stale pokracuju. V okoli tu polihuje aj dost zebrakov. Skoro vsetci indovia. Pri hlavnej ceste som svedkom mini nahanacky. Chlapik uteka, za nim prenasledovatel. Dobieha ho, bumbum a uz je na zemi. Pribiehaju ludia, security, vsetci to len pozoruju. Neskor to sledujem z ... read more

Day 7 Although I felt a little seedy, I couldn't stay in bed, we were flying out at 11.40am and needed to be at the airport 2 hours before so I dragged my sorry ass out of bed and sat in the shower for a bit. A piece of dry bread was all I could stomach. Silly vodka... The flight was uneventful, although the views taking off from Langkawi were stunning. KLIA2 airport is easy to navigate so we made good time, especially as I was keen to rest. We had some issues getting a Grab to our hotel and what should have taken us an hour took us 2, arghhhh. We checked into our new Air BnB, a nice room in Bukit Bintang. We didn't have the stunning view that the Regalia Residences had but ... read more

Day 2 Today's adventure started at the KL Bird Park. We arrived in time for Hornbill feeding and we all got a turn to feed them. They are really gentle and the one we fed was quite big. For those that don't know Zazu from the Lion King is a Hornbill but a lot smaller than the Rhinoceros Hornbill, Malaysia's national bird, that we fed. I was already pretty happy with this highlight and my day got better. A quick bite to eat, Kym chose Nasi Goreng and I went with Char kway teow, Star nibbled on some satays. The bird show was held in an amphitheatre and we watched parrots including macaws perform. I put my hand up to help in one part and had a macaw fly to my arm, rewarding him with a ... read more
