A flying visit back again after a month or so. Flew all night from the UK and drove in from the airport as the sun set and night arrived, then amazingly slept all night too. The view from the 20th floor last night was wonderful, twinkling lights all the way to the mountains - sadly not photographable. Woke this morning to view KL still sleeping ...

We left Ko Lanta and headed to Krabi for the night and then myself, Triona, Sarah, Ciara and Paddy flew down to Kuala Lumpar (Naomi and Lenny left the day before us) so our time in Thailand came to an end. So sad because Thailand was the best fun ever. So anyway, Kuala Lumpar is a weird place. Its a nice city but its like they copied all of thei...

Our next stop was Singapore again to start our travellers through the rest of South East Asia. We landed in Singapore after our 5hr flight from Hong Kong. We decided not to stay in Singapore and got a bus straight to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It only cost about a tenner each for the 5 1/2 hr drive. The only downside was the bus driver was a comp...

Yesterday morning Maida and I headed off to the Sunway Lagoon Water Theme Park and Amusement Park. Anil, an employee at the Number 8 Guesthouse kindly gave us a free pass he had and off we went! Maida loved the water slides and I was very intrigued by the fake beach they had created, including sand, waves, and surfers to go with it. It appeared ...

In Delhi, Beijing, and Hong Kong I pretty much had a place to stay and an internship of some sort waiting for me upon arrival. Despite repeated attempts, I had no such luck in Malaysia and rocked up on Kuala Lumpur (KL) with bags in-hand, a short-term reservation at a guesthouse, and no real plan of any sort. The NGOs that I contacted never resp...

Visited the Petronas Twin towers - currently the tallest building in the World. Quite a strange experience really - had to start queuing at 7.00am as they only issue 800 tickets per day - first come first served and you can't pre-book! Was really worth it though - excellent views from the bridge connecting the two buildings on the 42nd floor! We...

Extract from the email I sent to everyone..... Hmmmm, where to start? Well at the moment we're on an island on the East Coast of Malysia called Pulau Redang. It's stunning here. Some friends from work come here every Easter holidays and asked us to come along so there are four groups of us. 12 in all. Last Friday night we had a bbq at a friends ...

Wow, so much has happened since our last entry. We flew to KL and, after 2 nights staying in luxury halved our budget to spend only 3.50 a night, still for a twin roon though. Yesterday we were in KL for the day, started off going to Petronas towers going up to the sky bridge, then went to a temple, where there was LOADS of tortoises in this pon...

Finally, after 20 hours of flight and wait from LA, we make it to KL (Malaysia) ONLY 8 hours to go to Mauritius!!!

Hello again, this time from the little island of Koh Lanta on the west coast of Thailand. Life is very busy right now and I only have a couple of minutes to tell you about our brief stop off in Malaysia before heading north to Thailand. There are beaches to lay on, books to read and naps to take. You guessed it, we are enjoying a little down tim...
