We left KL at Lunchtime after a chilled out morning, and arrived in Kuala Kangsar late afternoon. From here we were taken by mini bus to the lake where our Host Asad meet us with the boat to take us across to his Island where we were to spend the next 2 days - Heaven!! To get to the lake we had to cross a very dodgy bridge which i though was going to collapse as we drove over it and then when we saw the boat that would take us to the island i thought that wouold...

First stop Merdeka square. From here we headed towards the Museum but unfortunately it had moved and not in wal...

WOW!! What an amazing 15 days im exhausted!! No time to rest though most of us from the tour are in Christchurch at least for 1 night so we all arrange to meet up and head out for dinner.

The next day after a little lie in i head out to have a wonder around the city. Nothing much fasinates...
