Wowwwww, Singapore is so cool. Its so clean and modern, the strict law enforcement here really does pay off. No littering, spitting, dropping fags or chewing gum, or you get a right ass kicking. England should take some notes from them!!! Anyway enough of my ranting, we loved Singapore. It took us a while to get to our accomodation, the Lazy Corner Backpackers Hostel (our first hostel so far as Singapore is alot more pricey). This was Kates first time in a host...

Today we travelled to the port of Melaka. Its a very historical town and port, and at one point 120 languages were spoke there, as there were people from all over the country. Eventually, after the forth attempt the portuguese took over Melaka due to certain citizens leaking information to them (traitors haha!!). Therefore the town is well known for its portuguese settlement and buildings, which are not like those of other Malaysian towns. Later on it was taken o...

On arrival in Kuala Lumpur, everything just seemed to go smoothly. We got of the bus at central market and didn't have a clue where we were.

Eventually we found a guesthouse, Cameronian Inn, which was really nice - but only available for 1 night! A real shame as the place was quite quirky - Chris likened it to that of Sk...

Today we arrived in Koh Lanta wiht a load of Touts waiting for us at the ferry pier. After barterin for some accomodation, we finally agreed to stay at a guest house called Garden Home - which ended up being a great choice. The main backpacker is at long beach, but we had heard it wasnt Koh Lanta's best beach - so we stayed on Klong Doa a gorgeous beach the next bay up. Our room was basic but very nice and was situated right on the beach front, perfect!! The best...
