First day of Kuala Lumpur was fairly quiet as we had a 6 hour bus journey there from Penang. It was a little strange when approaching the city in the bus as it is a modern city, not a sight we had seen for a while. Once we had taken 2 underground LRT trains (Light Railway Trains) , it was not easy finding Suzie's Guesthouse because Google maps had only given us a general location and it turned out to be on the first floor of a building so only a single glass door...

We spent a day getting to Penang. We left Lipe in the morning, going through border control on the beach and being taxied to the ferry in a long boat. The ferry ride across the border to Langkawi, Malaysia was fairly short. However, on getting to Langkawi we decided to head straight to Penang so we could save ourselves some time and money. A boat was setting off 2 hours after we arrived so we decided to board this. It was absolutely freezing on the second ferry a...

Koh Lanta - Not much to write about here as we took the 4 nights we spent in Koh Lanta to recharge our batteries and because Zo was still struggling with her stomach a bit we decided to book ourselves into some nice accommodation. We stayed in a bungalow the first night that was next to a fairly noisy building site so the following morning we said thanks but no thanks and went to find something better.

The whole journey she spent lead on my lap while I tried to get through the remaining part of my book, 'The Girl in the Picture'. Koh Phi Phi ...

To leave Koh Samui we had to get up at around 5:30am to catch a bus and boat back to the main land. We did not allow for any time to have breakfast before catching the bus but apparently we would be able to get some on the ferry. Upon entering the ferry there was a small convenience store on board where pretty much the only thing they had available for breakfast was instant noodles and the availability of boiling water. The boat ride was good though, very smooth....
