MELAKA:  After leaving KL I stopped off in a place called Melaka, which is on the way to Singapore. "When I arrived, I asked about the bus to Singapore and they said there was no chance, as it's Chinese New Year and the 1st bus would be on the 20th which would be no good as my flight to Aus is on the 19th!! So I was a bit worried about that, so went out with a Kiwi fella from my dorm and had a few beers on the cheap. The next morning we both went to...

Koh Lanta:26-30th Jan: Had a few really good days on Koh Lanta although it did start a bit crappy.  When I turned up I was due to meet Pete and Rachel to get my new debit card, but as I had no money to get to where he was staying I tried the credit card which got swallowed!

11,12,13,14, JanKoh Phangan, I arrived with Di after leaving Koh Samui, the place which took me 26 hours to get to and only stayed for 12 hours (including sleep) as it was so rubbish. We got ourselves a bungalow, which was right on the beach so that was great. She'd already been here before, so I got taken on a tour. It's supposed to be a real party town, but felt really chilled. Went down to the beach and sat at a bar and really just did not a lot, ...
