Headed back to KL as it's the hub of travel in Malaysia. Got a VIP bus which is awesome massive reclining seats. The theory being you can sleep the reality is very difficult. They drive like nutters here and the roads aren't good. So imagine driving at 60 mph over worst pot holes you can find- you get bounced around like crazy! tbh don't really ...

As per shown by the world famous twin tower, altrought KL is a small town the modern looks and updated living make it unique hot envoirement for any tourist.

We arrived in the Malaysian capital after an uneventful journey from Georgetown. It is very much like any other city, but it does have a nice feel to it. We had no idea where the hostel we wanted to stay at was so got a taxi there. The taxi driver turned out to be quite a character, who was very friendly and eager to tell us all about his hometo...

We move hotels this morning and the trip isn't easy with us having to stop midway as Nic thinks she's having a heart attack (she doesn't). By the time i reach the hotel I'm having heart palpitations and a river of sweat as we check in. We walk into a park area once cleaned up going past the National Mosque and then entering the Butterfly Park wh...

Our visit to the Petronas Towers went just as swimmingly as our previous day's sight-seeing. We had read up and had a plan. The towers are 88 floors tall, with a large mall at the bottom, and a sky bridge connecting them in the middle. But the towers themselves are occupied office space so they don't let you just roam around inside. Visitors ar...

After a smooth flight on a teeny tiny plane we arrived at Yichang airport and were greeted at the airport by our local guide, Mary. It was a 2 hour trip to the Yangtze River but it was entertaining. The driver was crazy. He actually took us up an off ramp coming from a 6 lane freeway. The fact that cars with headlights were coming towards us wit...

After only 5 hours spent stuffing our faces at Schiphol, courtesy of Malaysian Airlines, Bart and I finally got on the 747 for KL. Business class being the world of its own, the experience was a delight, apart from enduring my neighbour's strong breath! Luckily we didn't bond for long. Both of us wanted to enjoy separately the delights of a near...

Josie here, ok, so we've been avoiding you. sorry. its just that this was never going to be easy to write and we need to recover a bit first. anyway to cut a long story short mel and I lasted all of 24hrs at the kids home. Not sure where to start, but i do know that it was a very traumatic experience and bot what we signed up to do at all. Now w...

We had a bit of a break from the heat today. It was raining a bit when Matthew and I went out for breakfast. Shortly after we got settled and ordered, the rain began pouring monsoon style! We sat for a long time hoping the rain would subside. With no let up in sight, we decided to venture out to find the driest way to the mall next door. We saw ...

Finally boarding the plane, we had a great flight with Malaysian Airlines, arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 5am. The first thing you notice is that no one uses the full name, Kuala Lumpur is KL, the airport is KLIA, the city is KLCC and so on, just don't get a letter out of place, you never know where you will end up. The airpor...
