Day 162 (Friday 16th May 08) Up early this morning and went for some breakfast across the road. Went back to the hotel, collected our bags and checked out. Waited outside the hotel for a while to see if a taxi would pass but after a while of waiting decided it would probably be best to walk up to the shopping malls. As soon as we got there we flagged down a taxi and got dropped at the bus station. Seemed to have arrived just at the right time as there was a but ...

Day 160 (Wednesday 14th May 08) A very sleepless night on the bus to Kuala Lumpur. Arrived at about 6am and walked over to the bus station to get tickets for the first bus going to Melaka. Luckily there was a bus leaving at 6:30am so bought our tickets and went off to find the scanky toilet. Then downstairs to our platform to wait for the bus. Again soon on our way and after another couple of hours arrived in Melaka. Got a taxi easily enough to one of the areas ...

Day 144 (Monday 28th April 08) Not a very good night's sleep, comfy seats but hard to stay in them with the crazy driving! Would probably be better if they were smaller so you couldn't move around as much! Stopped for an hour somewhere in the highlands but it was pouring with rain so didn't get out of the bus. Got dropped off at the pier for Penang at about 4:30am. We were told that the first boat across was at 5:30am so we walked up the steps to wait at the top...

Day 141 (Friday 25th April 08) Packed away our final bits into our bags and went and checked out. Had something to eat and headed along to the jetty at about 10 to 12 so we were ready for our speeboat trip back to the mainland. After we were picked up collected some more people and then we were on our way back. Not a bad journey but he stopped when we were close to the mainland to fill up with petrol. Just out in the middle of the sea with the engine still runni...

Day 131 (Tuesday 15th April 08) Again this morning down for our massive buffet breakfast. Both feeling a bit ill afterwards, think our bodies aren't used to all the rich food anymore! Went to reception for 8am and checked out and as the guy from Travelpost had said to asked them for our bus number. They hadn't heard anything from him about it so called and eventually found out. By this time we should have been waiting for the bus and as it was pouring with rain ...
