Today has been a massive day of travelling, travelling and more travelling so I'm knackered now. The morning started, waking up in our sweat pit room in the Perhentians that stank of toilets! nice! We got a morning boat to the mainland of Kuala Besut and a taxi took us from there all the way to the Thai border of Ranau Panjang. Oppy was feeling really bad today so it wasn't great for him as he'd been sick all night. It was also incredibly hot and I havn't found ...

hey, We took the train yesterday up from KL to a place called Butterworth on the West Coast of Malaysia. the train only cost a few quid and we got beds for the 9 hour over night journey. The train was pretty comfy but a yelling child ruined any chance of a nights sleep, plus I was paranoid we'd miss our stop so stayed awake. When we arrived at Butterworth we got a ferry straight out from the mainland to the island of Penang. We were recommended a hostel but whe...
