October 23rd- October 26th It's been awhile since the last blog, we've been very bust the last few days in Kuala Lumpur. However this blog isn't about there, you'll have to wait a few days for the KL one. This blog is about our time on Pangkor. Pangkor is the last of the islands in South Asia that we'll be visiting. This is a very short and sweet blog as we haven't done much. So we woke and left the Cameron Highlands very early in the morning. When we woke up...

October 21st - October 23rd So we left our humble accommodation and found our way to the bus station. Due to Declan's dithering we missed the early bus and had to wait 3 hours in a sweaty bus station, full of nutters. Mel spent the time productively swotting up on Australia while Declan decided to start writing the 'next Harry Potter'. Eight chapters in, it's a real page turner.

Like we mentioned before we were trying to make this journey without the use of a travel operator. This is for two reasons, the first being the travel opera...

That is because we decided we were sick of just island hopping and we thought we would explore a city spot and a beach spot in the same place. Penang is a very interesting place. The main town, Georgetown, is host to a multitude of people. Chinese, Malay and Indian people mak...

October 9th-October 12th So we awake at the ungodly hour of 7:00am, we're people who lie in now ha! We set off on our journey to Malaysia. We started off in a minivan, then on a boat, then in a minivan, then on a boat, then in a minivan. We then got dropped off in the middle of nowhere, and then hustled into another minivan. He drove for a while thinking he was Schumacher down country roads; we then stopped off again and were put into a taxi. We finally ended ...
