After mama D leaving us at the sheraton and another round at the free breakfast buffet, we pack up and head north to the Cameron highlands. Named after the British (obviously) governor surveyor William Cameron. And where there is British heritage, there are tea plantations, lots and lots of tea plantations. Our first night we peruse the streets and book ourselves on a tour the next day. The trip includes a jungle walk in the morning, with copious amounts of leech...

We wake early after having to spend the night in the harbour town, after failing to make the last ferry that night. We stay in a hotel called DJ palace. We wake early the next morning. The sky is cloudy as we make our way across the waters to the island Pangkor. The island was once a place popular with fisherman, now a popular tourist destination. The weather is dampening on both our clothes and spirits but at the first sign of sunlight, true to our British ster...

Poring is a small village surrounded by rainforest and famous for its hot springs. After checking in to a guesthouse just opposite the park we sit down for a tapas of Malaysian dishes. The next morning charlie and I wake up early to walk the canopy that is set amidst the trees. Before that opens we decide to take a stroll in our birks to Langanan waterfall. That 'stroll' turns in to a 4 hour trek. The morning dew drips from the plants that pass through, We get c...

Once ruled by the omnipresent British, now an island that has some of the most bio- diverse jungles and rain-forests in the world. We arrive in Kota Kinabalu, the ...

We land in Kuala Lumpar airport. It seems that every time we get off the plane we are bleary eyed and dishevelled. Making us prime targets for the poachers outside. You are at your most vulnerable as soon as you step off the plane. The currency is alien, Malaysian Ringgit, we had only just gotten used to the rupee. However the Kl airport is a far cry from any Indian one. The pavements are clean, the smell is fresh and it is an easy transition from the airport to ...
