Today's blog will be kept very simple. We got up and took full advantage of the free breakfast and tea before making our way to Sentosa island the home of theme parks including Universal studios!! Madagascar, Far Far Away (Shrek), Waterworld, Jurassic Park, Egypt (The Mummy), Sci Fi (Transformers), New York ( Sesame Street), and Hollywood, explored, screamed, laughed, eat, drink, and spent a fortune! The budget was forgotten for today and it was worth every p...

We just casually got up when our body said it was time. Our last cup of free tea was had in bed and we showered and packed up and headed for the bus station.

Food and drink being banned from the bus I buried the sausage and egg mc muffin meals into my bag and boarded the bus. The meals ...

It's 6am and it's a ghost town. We had to wait 30mins for the busses to start operating before making our way into the the centre of Melaka. The town was dead. Nothing was open and all guesthouses were displaying "full house" signs in their windows. It was still early and when we...

Today we knew we would be leaving Georgetown and heading overnight to Melaka. With hours to spare we planned a lazy morning lounging around, eating another free breakfast and then lounging around some more. We did a little shopping, and more sightseeing. We ate lunch at the new world food court. A modern food centre that provided all styles of Malaysian cuisines. We had duck in plum sauce with rice and hoiken mee, a dark noodle dish. The duck was superb! We ...
