Hello all,We've just spent an eternity uploading some of our Malaysia photos so we'll let them speak for themselves and keep this blog very brief.Firstly, we are now in Sydney, Australia in apalling weather conditions; go on, have a laugh! Actually, sitting in this internet cafe is at least keeping us dry! After our fantastic time in the Cameron Highlands things moved on very fast.

A magnificent mountainous area which is the food basket and tea growing region for the whole of Malaysia. It is considerably cooler than the lowlands but incredibly lush and verdant.

A fast journey to the Cambodian border, an eternal wait whilst visas, passports and luggage is checked, and then a very bumpy ride on unsurfaced roads to Phnom Penh. Shocked by differences in opulent wealth (4-wheel drive vehicles, etc.) and extreme pov...
