Greenlast Hotel Kuantan

... there!

All this excitement set Martyn's tummy off and he had to make a mad dash for the loo in the bus station in the midst of all of this. No harm done however, 30 sen well spent! (we should say that in general our tummies have been fine).

The next morning more bone rattling was prescribed as we planned to take the local busses on to Mersing and Tioman Island.

... mystery book now, and must say I'm afraid of reading at night...). I ate prawns and fish and they were fresh from the sea and very good, made with sambal, a spicy sauce made of chili and garlic. There was a nice lady in Cerating who owns an internet and souvenirs shop, book shop and sells bus tickets. She's really helpful and nice. I would recommend anyone to turn to her for the information.

... Charmaine is out of the hospital? Please give her our love - we are thinking of her and hope she feels better soon. Fiona, good luck on the training for the 10K - you crazy girl!! I once thought I would like to do that as well - I, however, sat down for a while and the feeling passed!! Mands - when do you get your exam results? Oggie - have you done your exams yet? When is your graduation? Will we be home in time for it? All our love, we will update again soon! K & M

... this for 10 minutes or so, fighting the current & getting salt water in my eyes, i suddenly realised i was tiring badly, so i gave up the do-gooding, & grabbed hold of a rock & gathered my breath, and my breaths were suddenly becoming shorter & ...

... We arrived in Jerantut around 1pm, it was pouring down and we were being hassled for trips to Taman Negara National Park. We'd decided against going there as we've been on quite a few jungle treks in the past few months and don't want to start comparing to them. Plus it was pouring down so the leaches would have been out in force!! So we waited around until a bus was going 4 hours later to Kuantan. Not the prettiest town, and no tourist ...

... mais je vous en dirai plus la prochaine fois! ... Et voici la suite des aventures et quelques photos en prime... Après ce terrible orage le jour de notre arrivée a Cherating, et la recuperation de mon epuisement total, on s'est promene le long de la mer. On a vu les touristes locaux se baigner tout habillés dans une eau chaude comme un bain ... plus de 33 C. Le soir ...

... fever and cholera" I interjected. Anyway so it turns out I needed to be at the outpatients department which of course is closed on the weekends - typical I spent a few hours getting my blog up to date and then found what I thought was a sports bar in the huge Mega View Hotel to watch the Mersey derby at 9pm local time. The bar was empty except for four girls who looked like they worked there. They all came over to my where I was sitting and introduced themselves, shook hands with me ...

... lay hidden, an aboriginal settlement where the natives lived and still retained their traditional lifestyle and spoke their own language. We tried on the blow-pipe and mingled with the children there. This Kuantan tour is nothing fanciful, with no frills and minimum comfort, but that is what makes it alluring to us. To fully appreciate and discover the beauty of nature, it is essential that we forego the luxury and convenience of the modern day lifestyle. Simplicity is bliss.

... said it wasn't the smartest thing to do seeing as how there was only one and it might be aggressive. After a great dinner we spent a couple hours swimming and relaxing and then went out for a night trek. We spotted a few eyes in the trees but didn't see much else. After getting back we realized that we had picked up a dozen leeches each. Day 3 - After a morning swim and breakfast we packed up and met our boat at the river to take us back to the jeep. Everyone was ...

... pero no hubo suerte ya que el calor se hacia insoportable... me duche y volvi hacia el bar donde habia comido antes. Y en frente estaba de nuevo el grupito de cuatro personas, asi que me fui para alla y empece una conversacion, sobre la isla de Tioman. Dio su resultado pues acabe sentandome con ellos y jugando a cartas. Eran: Justin (australia), Angela (inglaterra), Steve (Nueva zelanda) y Vera (Holanda). Steve y Angela estaban copartiendo habitacion ...
