We're back in Penang! The River Inn Guesthouse is really beginning to feel like home. It's the perfect place to meet people, chill out with a book, get info on the sites and even get drunk on the courtyard area! The owner, Walter, and KK are the nicest people. They were chuffed to see us arrive back, this turned out to be a bonus for us as we got blankets and towels. I know this doesn't sound much but having a nice soft fluffy towel instead of the usual travel to...

One last blog from Langkawi! We've just had a lovely breakfast of, wholemeal toast, philadelphia, papaya & banana. Made by our own hands in Zackrys communal kitchen. I know it doesn't sound much but when most days the only choice is eggs, eggs & more eggs, oh and white bread, when you get a healthy alternative it tastes good!!

I say ferry but it was an old looking boot with rows and rows of seats. They couldn't have crammed any more people on if they tried! The journey wa...

So we arrived in the Cameron Highlands on Friday 5th November 2010 after a 12 hour journey! Due to it being Deepavali, a hindu holiday, everything was on a go slow! Our first bus journey was supposed to take 4 hours, but actually took 7! The second was supposed to take 2 hours, but after the mental traffic going into Cameron Highlands, it actually took over 4! We finally arrived at 9:30pm, it was pitch black, pouring of rain and we were tired! Got off the bu...

So we offically loved Melaka, it totally put KL to shame! Such a nice city/town, mega clean, friendly and pretty much one of our most favourite places so far. We stayed in the nicest guesthouse, the River View. We were met by Raymond and Mani, the owners, who were a lovely couple. The whole house was absolutely spotless and they gave you free freshly baked cake - perfect! ;-) The guesthouse looked onto the Melaka river, it had the nicest terrace that looked onto ...
