New Pacific Hotel Kota Bharu

... friends and booked in to a clean and friendly hostel which has a great communal garden to sit and chill in .... or play cards as we did all afternoon.<br><br>We were told by our new landlords to go and see the bird singing contest round the corner from us, now this doesn't involve some men sitting round doing bird impressions as Gary thought but actual judges going round listening to birds singing. They took this ...

... her stomach already and she knows because she saw it!! I love it...someone who tells it how it is...just like I do!! I know it might be a little unnecessary, maybe sometimes a little cringeworthy too, but there's nothing better than telling it like it is...rice poo included!!<br><br>I get up, have a cold shower in the dark, as there is no electricity during daylight hours, but to be honest I would probably shower with eels just to escape the ...

... Senja's Guesthouse. <br><br>Later that night I went over to the dive shop where Simon (the English guy I met on the way in) worked. We hung out for a little while and I booked some dives for the next day. We drank some rum and cokes and we'd planned on walking over to the other side of the island which has "the party beach" but a storm came in so we were kind of stranded at the dive shop. It was pretty fun though. <br>

... toilet. (Which turned out to be a very good thing). So the bus pulls over at the side of the road and the ticket guy us yelling toilet come on, pointing across the highway (while all the other passengers stare at me). So I grab my purse... which contains the elusive toilet paper.... and make Luc come with me, and run across the highway to what was the absolute worst squat toilet experience I have ever had. First..... when it is an emergency situation such as it was...things like finding ...

After crossing the Thai/Malaysian border we caught a taxi down to the port of Kuala Besut. We could have taken two public buses down to the port but we probably would have missed the last ferry if we did that and we didn't want to have to stay in Kuala Besut for the night so we splashed out for the taxi and made the 3:30pm ferry. Ferry is probably the wrong word, nine of us squashed on to a speedboat, the "captain" hands us all our life jackets ...

What's Hot: seeing 45 baby turtles hatching all at once, having a mother turtle lay eggs 5m from our tent, clear water 8m deep, snorkelling inside a school of small fish, snorkelling with black tip reef sharks, sunrise in a speed boat with the rangers, italians say "oh bella, bellisimo", BBQ dinners on the beach, monitor lizards, learning to speak ...

... of herself and proceeded to cut across Sag, kicking her flippers in his face, almost drowning him, in her sudden desperation to see the shark! Unfortunately her wild movements seemed to have disturbed the sharks and they were gone before we could see them. However, after a little while the guide again pointed out in front of him and sure enough we came face to face with our first shark - now although we had been told they were small ...

... as we wandered about the market. This was truly a local's market (versus the touristy ones noted in guidebooks) - with cart after cart of freshly prepared Thai cuisine. We snacked on some Seafood Pad Thai, some unknown noodle concoction, and fried things. With full bellies, we wandered back to catch the 9:30 night train to Malaysia. We arrived at the border after our night train to Malaysia tired, hot, hungry and in need of money. The train ride was not too bad ...

... in der Nacht. Ein Traum mit dicken Spinnen. Eine Woche war ich dort und hatte richtig Spass mit den Sunlight Divers von Coral Bay. Abend haben wir immer zusammengesessen und Musik gemacht oder ein Film geschaut, denn wirklich ausgehen konnte man in der Coral Bay nicht, denn es gibt keine Bars und Alkhohl officiell auch nicht, da ich mich ja nun in einem moslemischen Land befinde. Und es war zum Glueck richtig schoen leer, da kann man das TAuchen am besten geniessen.
