After breakfast this morning, we made up our butties and set off to the zoo. As we now have our travel card we wanted to use the public transport to get to the zoo. Yesterday when we were enquiring which, buses and trains we would need to catch we were told it would be very difficult and the best option would be to book onto a tourist bus. We now obviously saw this as a challenge and this morning set off to the train station adamant on making our own way! Not sur...

After a great nights sleep in the AC heaven we decided to book for two more nights we went to reception and were told the hostel was fully booked for the rest of the weekend, as a coach load (54) of Sri Lankan school kids were there for Halloween. So, our plans for an early start and exploring the city were now put on hold, we walked around for about an hour trying to find somewhere but were all at least $5 (£2.50) each more than we were currently paying. We man...

After a culture filled morning we dropped into the shopping mall to...

The two and a half hour trip on a coach to Meleka was a breeze and we easily caught a connecting bus from the long distance bus station into town. We walked around for a while trying to make our remaining Malaysian Ringget stretch as far as possible. We checked into the cheapest guesthouse we could find and set off out to look at the sites. We firstly headed to the Dutch Square, where we took some pictures, wandered through Chinatown and visited the Maritime Muse...
