Tioman Islands were voted as one of the Top 10 most beautiful islands in the world. So we were incredibly excited to get the opportunity to spend some time here and even splashed out on a seaview chalet. It certainly lived up to our exceptions and our chalet was 1 metre from the beach with the most amazing views, I loved it. Our chalet also came with a selection of local cats. Aidan and I are not particularly cat people (we love our dogs!) so weren't too impress...

Melaka is an intriguing little place jam packed with history and culture. The best way to see the town is by a trishaw. This consists of lazy Westerners sitting down whilst a very old man nearly kills himself trying to pedal. Ours was an excellent tour guide and knew all the hot spots and we saw millions of temples and a museum ran by one woman who made us sit in her lounge and look at her family albums. We just smiled and tried to be polite. After 3 hours I remi...

Leaving the Cameron Highlands we travelled 47km on a continuously twisty road downhill. Aidan was very close to being sick and the whole bus were holding onto their sick bags praying the bends would stop. At KL we stayed in the Green Hut Lodge in a very green room. Found an amazing shopping centre with an IMAX cinema and a roller coa...

The Cameron Highlands are often compared to England. The weather was absolutely terrible and for the first time I was cold! Aidan enjoyed the weather and even got to watch a thunder storm. We went on a 'Country Tour' which was rather exciting. We visited a Rose Centre (check out the photos), Strawberry Farm (had strawberries and ice cream, yummy!), Butterfly Farm, Bee Farm and Tea Plantation. Tea Plantation was interesting but slightly disappointing as neither ...

I took this photo of the interesting cumulonimbus formation. We stayed in a really nice hotel room in Jerantut before we entered the jungle. They had hot and cold shower, air conditioning, and even two movie channels. These are the things that we get excited about now that we have been away for more than 5 weeks. I was really disappointed that I would miss the ending of the original 'Beauty and the Beast' to catch out bus to the river boat that would take us i...
