We arrived in Wakaf Bahru after our overnight train from Kuala Lumpur early the next morning. The train was safe and comfortable, though a guy did signal to his friend and start following us in the station at Kuala Lumpur the night before, but he was about as subtle as haemorroides and just as ugly, so we saw him off with an "I know you're going to try to rob me" stare and he left us alone. Once they know you're not an easy target they generally...

After Kuching our time in Borneo had ended. We had seen some amazing sites but had to leave for Peninsular Malaysia to continue our travels through South East Asia.Again we used Air Asia and our flight to Kuala Lumpur from Kuching was delayed by about 5 hours. Never mind we did get a free KFC for our troubles, it all counts when you're on a budget!Kuala Lumpur was a huge city. The Petronas Towers looked quite spectacular, probably the most beautiful high rise...

After Mulu we took a flight to Kuching via Kota Kinabulu. Our main reason for visiting Kuching, Sarawak, was to see another Orangutan sanctuary.

We planned...

We arrived in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, after a six hour bus journey sat by the toilets, and as the seat infront of Rich was broken he basically had some guy laying on his lap. Not very comfortable. We thought we were getting the hang of haggling with the taxi drivers, only to find later that the taxi driver had driven us around in a big circle.Whilst here we decided to go to the cinema, which is a strange experience as all the fims seem to be rated U,...

After our brilliant river cruise we travelled back to Sandakan for our next trip to Pulau Selingaan also known as Turtle Island National Park.The island is 40km north of Sandakan in the Sulu Sea off Sabah's east coast. The main attraction of Selingaan are the turtles which come ashore each evening to lay their eggs. Selingaan island was the site of the first turtle hatchery in Malaysia in 1966. Both the Green Turtle and the Hawksbill Turtle land on this islan...
