We finally dragged ourselves off the sofa in the Cameron Highlands, I think we left 2 Homer Simpson type dents in it! Up early and on the bus heading for Ipoh bus terminal for a transfer to the port town of Lumut. We had packed some sandwiches and a bottle of water for the journey, and watched as the clouds that started off below us slowly raise higher as we drove down through them ...

... addicted to. Nick was drooling over both and while I disappeared to the toilet during the panic attack that comes with a sudden '30-second warning' he even took to sampling a mouthful of durian after we'd started up a bit of banter with the owners. I really can't stress enough how friendly, welcoming, and all round beautiful these people are. After a lengthy visit to the old ...

... is the bus terminal and a large mall). The bus from KL to Penang was great, it was a 'Sleeper or VIP' that has only 24 seats and is really lux. It was RM27 each (NZ$12) for the 5 hour journey. We could have gone for the flasher!! option with TV screens and food but it wa RM10 more so we gave it a miss - maybe for a longer journey! Anyway, we're in a tiny internet cafe on the main road just down from our ...

... and his brother descended upon the Island the same time as us!!) We hired a car and went round the island, bit of trekking and a canopy walk. Stayed for 2 days and then back to KL. KL is getting very familiar now - it feels comfortable going back there - almost home from home!

... of Malaysia, is that there is not much effort made to keep the place clean and looking attractive. There were all kind of things floating in the sea! Even though the snorkelling here is supposed to be good, we haven't plucked up the courage to submerge ourselves for fear of what might get attached to us!
