Hotel Pacific Kuantan

... et 7/10 pour les Rutabagas (genre de litchis). Oranges et Ananas sont coupés trop tôt (comme presque tous les fruits), et ne sont pas très sucrés. Pour les autres fruits ils auront traversé la moitié du globe avant d’arriver ici !! (No Coment). Coté plage, rien à dire, ils ont compris qu’il est important de laisser un peu de place pour les humains que nous sommes, loin des gaz d’échappements…

Nous poursuivons ...

... to the Perhentian Islands. They are meant to be spectacular, but hopefully we don't have the rain following us. It doesn't normally rain this time of year, so I'm afraid that maybe our luck has finally run out and we are dragging it about with us. Guess I shouldn't have prayed so hard for rain when I was in Bagan!! The journey here was a bit of a mission - we had to take a 5 hour bus from Tanah Rate to Kuala Lumpur, then hop a different bus for another 5 hour ...

... We chose a night where there is no moon. We waited at the jetty nearby the office.The whole journey took us around 1 hour plus. Requires minimum 8 person. We did see plenty of fireflies that night. It's more in cluster of groups. One group on this tree. A few trees away, you can see another tree filled with fireflies that looked just like christmas tree. Only it looked even better! It was my first ...

Apart from my new obsession with the Plain White T's song (hey Deliah) there is hardly anything new ... oh I was in Singapore - mostly retail therapy and also went to the doctor's - got a fever and stomach ache - never had it before when I was traveling! Did also malaria/dengue tests - all good :) was expensive, but waited exactly 10 minutes for the doctor, then 1.5 hrs for the results of the tests and they are very friendly (2 thumbs up!) - happy 2 know that ...

... had banners & painted t-shirts, a JCB digger was used to give some fans prime views, a great laugh. The highlight though was the diving - we did 10 dives in total here, all of them memorable in one way or another. On our 1st dive on the house reef just ...

... many European people although I think that the local people love watching this show because when the boat ride was over, the queue to get in was massive!! We got home around 23h just in time for me to meet up with my other Malaysian friend (Farzz who is getting married at the end of the month) and had some dinner... The rest of the weekend is in a different entry because it was in KL itself and is just local pics!!!

... part une petite réaction allergique et que çà va passer. Il me prescrit deux sirops a donner deux fois par jour (piriton et leftose écrit dessus). L'un pour réduire le gonflement, l'autre pour limiter la réaction allergique. Ca me dérange un peu de donner ces trucs alors que je ne sais pas ce que c'est. Le lendemain matin, son oeil étant toujours gonfl ...

... His living room!), and cancelling stuff. Police were a bit of a pain and made me go to a different station the next day to get a report and seemed more interested in talking about Beckham and Gerrard than the theft!!! Hotel owner did take pity though and we got a free meal including a well nice banana split. Nice fella. Apologies for lack of photos for this (and probably the next) destination, but lack of camera neccesitates this!!

En un bus de tres hileras, esto es gloria, tengo mas espacio que Etoo jugando en el Bernabeu. Tres horas despues me paro en Cherating, pueblo costero pero mas vivo que Marang. El autoobus me deja en media de la carretera asi que tengo que caminar unos diez minutos, con la mochila, hasta el camino que, doblando a la izquierda, lleva hasta Cherating, hasta la carretera de la paya. Mi destino eran los Matahari bungalows pues habia leido que estaban bien y que eran ...

Once our feet were on dry land again, we jumped on a couple of buses in the direction of Kuantan basically following the East coast! We managed to get on our most executive form of transport yet...a bus with only 3 seats across (2+1) - talk about leg room! The rain seemed to be following us unfortunately so we ended up only staying for one night in Kuantan (it has a great mosque)and enjoyed a great murtabak (like a spicy ...
