Following our trip to the Cameron Highlands we head down to Kuala Lumpur. We didn't have very high expectations as pretty much everyone we met had said they hated it! We went with an open mind though. I actually ended up loving it! We stayed in a hostel called "Back Home" and instantly hit it off with some of the people staying in our dorm. We were taken along to a Malaysian dance show on our first night by a guy from South America. We were so gla...

Beth and me went to Malaysian Borneo while Cat was still in Bali. We flew into Kota Kinabalu which really didn't have much to offer! We flew down to Tawau and got a taxi to Semporna where we stayed for the evening in huts on stilts over the sea, very cool. The next morning we were up really early to catch a boat across to Mabul where we picked up all of our dive gear and signed (or rather crossed out half of and then signed) some stupid disclaimer form! We th...

First stop in Singapore was a trip to Raflles Hotel! We stopped off for a very expensive Singapore Sling (Beth had a different cocktail cos she doesn't like fruit!!)! It worked out at about $25 for a drink which is ridiculous for a backpackers budget! Never mind, it was worth it! We met up with Kenny and Angelica for a trip to the night safari. Kenny was able to get free tickets through his work as they sponsor some of the animals! They took us out for dinn...

We had a long journey ahead of us on the 28th March. We crossed from Ko Lanta on the west coast of Thailand to Ko Phangan on the east coast. We had to catch a number of buses and boats and it took most of the day! Rich and me tried to do our usual tanning session on the top deck of the boat but didn't have much luck because the tide was so high, the waves kept coming over the top of the boat and soaking everyone! We gave up in the end and stood up inside. Th...

We caught another boat to Ko Lanta this morning. Another excuse for a bit of tanning! We decided to stay in a place called 'Palm Springs' which was right on the beach!! The room was amazing too, it was like a chalet and a bit posher than what we're used to. We managed to get all 4 of us in one room too so it was even cheaper! We managed to get some more sunbathing time in, the weather is amazing, and I just couldn't stop thinking how amazing Thailand is!! I...
