firstly can i just say that our guide book was wrong!! we were on the bus from KL for 8hrs not the alleged 6!! luckily, this was the most comfatable bus ever, the seats fully reclined with foot rests and they only had three seats per row not four. and our driver was sane as well no swaying and dangerous overtaking!! we arrived quite late in langkawi but found somewhere to stay quite easily. i do love my guidebook its genius. the people were well rude though.most...

I can not tell you how nice it is to be back to civilisation!! And yes I know we only went off to Endeu Rompin yesterday morning but it felt like we was there forever. it was a bit like a cross between a horror movie and an adventure holiday with the school you never wanted to go on in the first place! it started ok. we went with a nice couple from france, (both doctors- so in safe hands!) had a nice big wooden chalet to stay in, (which on closer inspection cont...

Our hostel is lovely and clean and air conditioned, however little India, where it is, was initially a bit of a culture shock!!!
