Didnt really do much today - with having a windowless room we woke up in pitch black darkness to find out it was dinnertime! So we went and sat in starbucks avoiding the heaviest downfall we've seen for the rest of the afternoon before again going to the cinema and tryin to spend little money. Came back to pack as it's a really early start tomorrow morning for our flight to Borneo! On the way we came across a drunk local having a wee in the middle of the str...

Caught the bus back to KL this morning (as did the bed bugs no doubt) and spent about an hour looking for our guesthouse we had booked into. Dave was tempted to stay at 'Wheelers Guesthouse' but unfortunately the great name didnt live up to expectations (flea pit run by the strangest transexual we've come across). We stopped off at the Reggae bar and paid 1.50quid for a can of coke - what would Bob say?! When going back to look for our hotel, several people ...

It's a really historic town with old colonial buildings - you can tell the Dutch were here at some point! It was way too hot for our liking (seriously want a day of cold now) so we didnt stay out too long in the sun. Went to one of the local Indian restaurants for some food and after 2 failed attempts of microwaving our partially cooked chicken w...

Caught the bus to Melaka this morning which is a historical colonial town, that was once ruled by the Portugese, Dutch, Britain, Japan and now Malaysia! We decided not to book accommodation so wandering round in the hottest sun ever with a heavy backpack and failed attempts on 3-4 hotels was loads of fun! We eventually caught a taxi to a little place called Tony's and thankfully it was available! However...when putting down our bags we noticed something walk...
