me at about 11.50am. i was shocked and rushly try to finish my job to meet H.

then we chek in to Kwest Hotel. Standard queen for RM55, very budget hotel. Then the love sparks...

... still part jungle and has all the same dangerous creatures and animals that the jungle has to offer. This morning there was a commotion down at the reception as a poisonous snake was asleep in the tree by the gate. The owner arrived with a 7ft long stick but I think they decided to leave it be in hope it would go away by itself.

There are also some odd looking, even prehistoric looking birds on this island that we ...

... be nice and cozy and chilled out (like Pulau Weh, my last island, which was so wonderful)...but actually it wasn't. On the plus side, I had the beach all to myself most of the time and it certainly is a nice beach, but on the downside, well, I was alone most of the time, and the town wasn't so friendly. So I just spent two days on the beach topping up my tan (don't laugh) and reading two whole novels (okay so they were of the chick ...

... with the rest of the hotel guests (mostly Chinese) doing step dancing and it was just so funny! We also enjoyed the delights of the spa...massages, facials, the whole nine yards. The weather was sweet, we even had a lightning show and when it rained, it rained at night. We explored the island and found another little restaurant on the beach called Daddy's. One of the waiters has a scorpion as a pet (SO GROSS!), and Chris has to ...

Pangkor is about a 4 hour bus ride and a 30 minute ferry from the Cameron Highlands. The island is pretty popular with Malays due to its proximity to KL. It is not as popular with backpackers, who tend to hit the islands off the east coast of Malaysia, but the weather on the east coast was rainy, so I headed to sunny Pangkor instead. I stayed on a small beach called Teluk Nipah. It's probably the best beach on the island and has a small number of ...

... The rooms were very basic, a bed, a bathroom and a balcony. It did have AC which was a god sent, as the weather was extremely hot and humid. There was no change of towels everyday and no room cleaning! The bathroom wasn't ideal, and in fact after the first night I found some strange looking droppings, which could have either been bats or rats! take your pick! :] The first day we familiarized ourselves with the Island, went for a ...

... are so many people to meet, to talk to, fellow travellers, but also the people who live here. Highlights of my journey are the conversations I have with locals, when people are kind enough to give me a glimpse of what their live is really like, the way they see things or how they live, because although while travelling you already get to observe a culture from a bit closer up, still you're ...

... lady who appeared to be their daughter was sitting a few feet away. A few minutes after we sat down, two separate couples arrived at the same time. A Canadian couple from Vancouver Island that we had chatted with earlier in the week and an English couple that we had seen a few times during the week at TJ's were both going thru the same hesitations that we had just gone through. TJ explained to them the open house and almost seemed to beg them to take plates and to fill ...

... with smooth cobblestones on which to step when getting out of the huge bath which is made of something that looks like fruit nougat. The water enters the bath through a hole at the top of the far end. On either side of the bath there are 2 sets of full-length windows opening out onto miniature private roof gardens. At night one can bathe and watch the stars. It is all so very beautiful! After enjoying our room for a while we take a walk and see ...
