Well, we left Bali after meeting a reporter (cant remember his name) from the BBC at the airport. He wanted to interview Emma and i but we said no. We looked hideous! KL looks just like any big city. Stayed in the most god-awful place that smelt musty. Went out in the evening which was ok but a day was enough for me. On to Penang island!

We stayed in a lovely hotel just off the beach and not far from the nightlife but the amount of hawkers surrounding you all the time put us offso we took a bus to the north of the island, over beautiful mountains with fantastic scenary and caught sight of the wild monkeys by the side ...
