Asia » Malaysia » Cameron Highlands » Tanah Rata By SarahP July 18th 2007 Good day to you all back in that green and pleasant land we call England (most of you!) - you'll never guess what we had a couple of days ago (well you might from the title) - a blimming cream tea!! With real milk as well which I can tell you is a rare sight in this part of the world - the locals drink sweet condensed milk with their tea. I'm trying to sound colonial but it's not working - jolly good! Hm....! After our last post I did actually manage to hobble round the old lonely planet "walking tour" of Georgetown, we saw some grand buildings and Fort Cornwallis, which is where the English first landed on Penang Island. ... read more

It was a hard decision leaving Koh Tao but at the time there wasn't enough work and plus not having my own equipment I wasn't making any cash. Drinking my traveling money away at the Lotus bar I decided enough was enough and to move on boo hooo. However I did end my stay with the best six dives ever with loads of Grey Reef sharks another turtle and some excellent schools of fish! Before going to Malaysia I stopped off at Koh Pangyang a slightly bigger island south of Koh Tao. On arriving I had no where to stay so convinced two girls to let me stay on there porch in my hammock, lucky I had my mozzy net too so had a comfy nights sleep. The next day I acquired some accommodation in ... read more

Hi all. Just a quick word here from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We left Koh Phangan early Sunday morning, hoping to arrive here the following morning on an overnight bus. However, we experienced our first transport disaster when we missed our connecting bus (Dont ask!) from the Thai border. As there were no other buses leaving that day, we had to spend a night at the nondescript Border town of HatYai. Next morning we woke bright and early and caught the Bus to Kuala Lumpur; arrived at around 8pm. After grabbing some dinner, we spent the first night around the famous Petronas Twin Towers. Apparently, these were the worlds highest skyscrapers until about 3 years ago (Think Tapei took the mantle) and they are massive. At night both towers are illuminated by thousands of lights, making for ... read more

Ueber 7 Monate haben wir in dieser spannenden Region verbracht. So sehr anders als die europaeische Kultur, so liebenswert ... , aufregend ... , manchmal so nervig ... , um dann wieder einfach nur schoen zu sein. Wir sind froh, so lange hier verbracht zu haben !!! Gerade Laender wie China oder Myanmar, als nicht klassische Urlaubslaender, waren absolute Highlights und werden uns noch lange beschaeftigen. Jetzt sind wir gerade in Singapore und ca. 16h vor dem Abflug nach Perth, Australien. Irgendwie koennen wir es noch gar nicht fassen... so ganz ohne Strassenverkaeufer,... read more
