We were hungover but we needed to move rooms! We walked to an itailian for lunch n had a feast! We needed to buy a bus ticket to go to Melaka so we went looking for an address which wasn't easy, it was a very long road. Anyway we ended up finding a nude man who helped us n spoke Malay to a woman to hut our (legit) tickets, a rareity! It started raining really heavily so we ran for a taxi, she said she wouldn't use the meter because it was raining (worst excuse ever!) n asked us for 3times the price. We found someone who was nice n took us back to our favourite mall, times square! We went to see the new xmen film at the cinema.

Then we went on a simulated skydive which was awsome! As if we hadn't had enough we went on another ride u needto pay extra for, u lie on ur front the whole time on the roller coster! We wentto the arcade but didn't win enough tokens so we gave them away. And I had flavoured candy floss!

We got another luxury bus to Ipoh (named after a poisonous tree) we went for dinner n ate in a restaurant with no menu. We had a look at the night Market n the food court we bought a large round fruit that looked like a football called pomelo, it tasted like a Grapefruit but not much taste. I got bitten 12 times which I think might be a direct comparrison to the fact that I ate about 12sweets just before bed! 
Tuesday 5th
We bought tickets n got ripped off from a shop owner n caught our bus from directly outside the shop, no bus stop, to cameron highlands. We finally found our hotel n arrived in the reception but after 15mins of waitig in reception n looking for someoneto help us in the shop downstairs we left! How bizarre! We took another room bunit wasn't great. We walked to two small waterfalls but they wernt anything measured up to the ones in senaru. We had lunch at the Indian around the corner from us n dinner at a bistro non eventfull.

We went on a walk through the mossy forest saw pitcher plants, moss, bamboo trees and more. We went to an insect farm, n saw lizards, snakes, terrapins, butterfly, stick and leaf insects, scorpions and other random animals. We went to a strawberryfarm. We ate a cameron apple for lunch, it was purple outside n it didn't really taste of anything though it was very juicy. In the afternoon we went to a honey bee farm, I was very brave but these bees wernt as big nor did they buzz so it wasn't bad! We saw load of plants n trees I've never seen growing before n then we visited an Orang Asli village (indigenous people) we got to use a blow pipe to shoot a poisoned dart fromthe Ipoh tree, I was the only one in our group to hit the target!

Saturday 9th
We went walking in Taman Negara national park, it was very humid. we went on the forest walkway high above the forest ground and met Tom from London. we trekked to a viewpoint 344m abopve sea level. all in all we think we walked about 6km. we saw lots of plants from the video from last night and we even started hunting animal noises only to find out it was a squirrel and totally at ease of us being there! we heard the cicada fly making its noisy mating call (100 men to 1 female and only live for a day!) after a nice pizza for dinner we went on a night safari in a jeep, they assure you will see animals in the dark because 'we use very bright lights that temporarily stun the animals into stilness'! not very animal friendly. we saw wild cats, cows, pigs, an owl, birds, a frog and the piece de resistance a flying squirrel!
Sunday 10th
We got a bus n bouncy boat to kecil island of parentian islands and needed to get a fishermans boat to the shore because the water isnt very deep. we checked into Mohsin, expensive n not very nice room. I hadnt been feeling well so sean went out to find a better place for the next few nights but he ended up hurting his knee and we went to the surf school to get it looked at.
Monday 11th
We checked out of Mohsin hotel and into a new place which oinly had electricity from 6pm and went off while we were asleep. then we were going to walk through the island but we saw huge ants and a lizard the size of a komodo dragopn wild in the bushes so we decided on getting a fishermans boat to take us to the other beach. we went to the clinic and our boatman waited for us. we had dinner and saw steff again.
