Kuala Lumpur wasn't as I expected. Maybe it is the area that I'm staying in, maybe it is because I'm not feeling so well, maybe it is due to me being so excited to finally going back to Oz that I just can't wait ;-) I don't appreciate the area that I'm staying in, it is right in the city, too many people, too much noise.. I just came from small Islands in Thailand and Malaysia... Maybe I just have to get used to the big city ;-) But I'm happy to be leaving for ...

I was supposed to have reached Koh Lipe at 3pm, a 3 hour journey by ferry, but there were some technical issues with the ferry and we didn't arrive before 6:30pm and it was pitch black outside.
