Juita Inn Kota Bharu

... had been bright in the sky for the last 5 hours or so...suddenly the heavens opened and down came rain, torrential rain!! We all ran back to our little hut and gathered on the tiny balcony overlooking the sea and who was there...'Perve Patrol' as we called them!! It was 5am and ******* down why the hell where they camped outside our shack?!<br><br>I stroll over and ask them what they are doing and if it is possible for them to turn our outside light off for some ...

... what you get but I didn't see any cockroaches!!!! We also had him book our taxi to Kuala Besut and we ended up with an old car without air con but price should have been for aircon car!!!! I guess the difference was his commission!!<br><br>While in Kota Baru we visited the Istana Jahar, Istana Batu - the first displaying royal possessions and the second being the Prince's palace before ...

Once we were back on the mainland we headed to the bus stop to get on the local bus to Kota Bahru.....while there waiting we were approached by probably every taxi driver in the town. A guy on a scooter even tracked us down while we were buying water and away from the other taxi drivers asking us if we wanted a taxi to kota bahru for 20 ringgit..... which was almost as cheap as the local bus and cheaper than the other taxis........ but we had to meet him at his office. So we headed over ...

... west's turn, so we're heading into the rainy season. Although looking at the map I would consider Jeli to be on the east side, but hey. We're still waiting to see the signs that say 'Caution, wild elephants crossing the road' and 'You are in tiger country' because then I'll start running through a whole load of 'what if' scenarios, and calculating how fast I can cycle up hill compared to a raging elephant or a hungry tiger! Laters

... available from 6.30pm to 8am!!(Marine et Adrien, ca nous a beaucoup rappellé Caye Caulker). It rained the first morning, so we just read, then met our lovely neighbours, Peter and Kersti from Sweden, whom we stayed with during 4 days!The afternoon cleared out and we could enjoy the peaceful beach. Almost no one was there. We had a BBQ in the evening in the sand. <br><br><br>06/03/09. We tagged along with our neighbours on a ...

... experience. However it would involve me taking two days to get there: the first is getting to Wakaf Bharu, where the train departs, and the second then on to Taman Negara as there was only any point me doing it if I caught the train in the morning, rather than travelling on it by night! The others wanted to use the internet and so I went on my own to get some mee soup before catching the bus, and honestly, you leave me alone for 5 minutes ...

Walked across the river separating Thailand from Malaysia. Cleared the rather strict customs which consisted of Oliver beeping and the guy saying "You have gun" "Nope" "You have knife" "Nope" "Okay go ahead". When I beeped I simply said "Same as him" and he was like "No problem". So from there we found a taxi to take us to Kula Besut (about 1 1/2 hrs away) where the ferry to the Perhentians left from ...

... that impressive at all. We walked through the town in about an hour. and thats about all i have to say about it. Ohh and if you are ever thinking about coming to Malaysia, bring you adult sodas with you. They are very expensive here.. infact a pack of cigaretts is cheaper than 1 can o beer. good talk see you out there.

... absence of Malaysian kites, we went searching for the ellusive craftsmen. Grabbing a bus heading northeasterly out of town, we followed their tracks, bloomin' big Malaysia 2007 signs pointing out the workshop, with no real sign of craft being undertaken the relief was they did accept Mastercard, VISA and Amex. Looking at them they were beautiful, however we quickly realised the odds of getting a four by six foot kite home were nill, we quickly left using no ...

Malaysia here we come. Once the group met up in Singapore we headed on an overnight train to Palau Perhentian. The train was comfortable enough, except for the loud sounds of the steel trains banging together and the constant jarring from side to side. The train was right on schedule and at 8 am we were dropped off into the hands of a local who would be out taxi to the ferry terminal. A fast jet boat ride later and we were in ...
