Hey hey, so we got to Langkawi after another shortish boat journey from Penang. We jumped into a 7 seater minibus and headed off to the west coast where it was supposed to be more lively, but remember it is still low season here and it's Ramadan. Being in a bigger group and wanting to stay at the same place, we spent an hour trying to find a good place, but in the baking sun, I soon got bored and realised why travelling on your own is sometimes better. . . .

Hello hello hello. . . . . Don't worry I am still alive. . . . . Just been off the radar for a few weeks. . . .

Anyway, The items I have bought I do actually need, well sort of. . . . . . A adapter charge...

Hey hey. . . . Welcome from Malaysia. . . . More specifically Melaka. . . ! Well, I got out of Singapore on this very comfortable coach for my 5 hour journey to Melaka. I think it took less time than that, but hey, whatever?! So, after chatting with that Dutch girl the other day about Malaysia, I booked ahead for 2 nights accommodation at Travelers Lodge, however after spending the afternoon there, I don't think I would be needing 2 nights. . . ?
