After emptying most of our rucksacks and taking our dirty laundry on as hand luggage (Airasia - budget airline, have a ridiculous policy that you can only check in 15kgs, seemingly having it as hand luggage doesn't affect the weight limits of the plane?!) we're all aboard our flight from Kuala Lumpur to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We had a change of plan and decided to head straight to the beaches of Sihanoukville, after all we deserved a little holiday. Can we point o...

Well we're still alive and back in Malaysia. Met up with the Irish lads (we'd originally met in Vietnam and then Chiang Mai) in Penang for a night out which was great fun. Sat around with the locals playing music and having a good old sing-a-long. Got the bus down to KL which took a lot longer than it should have done, traffic was horrendous! Have spent today doing nothing (other than catching up with blog) and we're now off for an early night ready to catch our ...

We spent one night in Melaka and then got the boat across to Indonesia. This is where the troublesome few days started that nearly sent us over the edge!!

The boat journey was fine but took twice as long as it should have to get to Dumai. Once we got off we had to be escorted to the ATM as we had no money to ...

Once again, as we checked into our hostel in KL we bumped into some people that had been on the Perhentian Islands the same time as us! That night we all went out and took over the local club as there was noone else in there, we even had a band play our personal requests!!Spent the day time visiting Petronas Towers, Menara Tower and Batu Temple, all of which were pretty impressive and gave good views of KL. After being recommended by Christie for being 'spot on',...

It's pretty amazing how many times you bump into the same people, usually in the most random of places too. While we were on Perhentian's we bumped into Tim and Chris, two English lads Jen and Vic had met on a boat trip in Halong Bay, Vietnam. They wanted to go to Taman Negara too so the four of us got the 6 hour bus there from Kuala Besut. It was quite a funny little town, nothing much there other than the National Park we'd planned to visit. We stayed in a gues...
