So we didnt have the best of days yesterday - we are now in a town called Melaka - we were very happy when we arrived here as we found a great night market and got to do some good shopping (we have been hunting for a decent market since we arrived in Malaysia as most of theirs are full of fake prada bags etc ...not our kind of thing!). So we spent a great evening in the market - the other great thing is the Malay people are so relaxed - not trying to force their ...

So we have found our own little paradise! We have decided to spoil ourselves and have rented out a little house/hut on the beach for the past 2nights - its gorgeous! We've got a porch and our own fenced off bit of beach! And its only costing 5pounds a night (tho we've only been paying like 2pounds everywhere else so its a little extravagant!). We havent done much other than lie on the beach reading/sunbathing! Though upsettingly i have managed to burn....but my s...

We were recommened a hostel by other travellers - its a great place - but our room is in a army bunker! I have not been well the past few days but am feeling much bett...

After what seemed like forever travelling and waiting around in Airports (5hour drive from Agra to Delhi, then 9hours waiting around the airport...4hour flight from Delhi to Bangkok, 4 hours wait in Bangkok airport, 2 hour flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur!) we arrived at our nice cheap hostel (we made a friend along the way - a girl who is travelling on her own, so we have grouped up for now). The hostel is great - loads of other people - no longer being ruled...
