En route to Langkawi from the Cameron Highlands we took a day or so out to stay at Penang, unfortunately the only thing we really wanted to see was the Furnicular railway up Penang Hill, however after a couple of interestibng bus journeys with the locals to get there we discovered it was closed! Typical! We spent the rest of the day wandering around the town, really not that interesting, although we did come across a beach blanket babylon restaurant, for those wh...

Hi guys, sorry for pants communication we have just been having too much fun :) The Cameron Highlands were amazing, just so beautiful, and wet!!!! When we had arrived after a not so pleasant journey from KL we noticed that there was a mini van from every single hostel to take people back execpt to the one we had booked in, so we rather naughtly decided to forget the booking we had made (luckily we had not paid anything or provided our credit card) and hopped in...

So after me being very charming and loads of negotiating we manged to get our money back and check out ( only 2 hours after checkout!) We then reali...

Took a while to get to Kuantan, on a rickety old bus, and first impressions were not great. And they did not get better. We checked into our 'hotel' and then went for a wander. About the only thing of interest was the mosque, the largest on the east coast. Other than that, our saviour was the shopping mall, if only for Starbucks, a cinema, and air-con. In the end we were so bored we watched a movie, that was actually quite amusing, then headed back to the ho...
