So I awake this morning to yet more torrential rain splashing against the wire window we have in the shack!! It's so noisy without glass...<br><br>Anyway decided that it looks like it might rain forever...if you were here you would see that this was a more than believable thought...so we packed up our belongings and began the long trek back to civilisation in the town!! Not before I binned my beach towel though...yes the brand new neach towel lay in a heap on top of the bin as I took one ...
Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia followingmyfeet... slipped into our bikinis and popped down the beach with our towels and the Lonely Planet guide to Indonesia!! After a quick splash in the sea we lay on our towels and looked into our trip to Sumatra until...yeah you guessed it...the heavens opened!!<br><br>Disheartened, disappointed and disgusted at the weather we trudged back to our room and decided serious action was required. It was time to leave the island...a mere 24 hours after ...
Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia followingmyfeet... ride to Tanah Rata I mostly slept and woke up in this lovely hilly region located in ~1500m altitude. It was weekend and furthermore Singapore independence day, many accommodation facilities were fully booked. Daniel's Lodge was the first one with some vacancies. It was a good pick – dorm was cheap, staff very helpful, free wifi and pleasant common area, plus boiling water so you can be ...
Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia tsimko... Britney Spears when she had a mental turn and cut off all her hair, fab. I scream "Terima Kasih!" at him, 'You've ruined my hair you imbecile!' Terima Kasih means 'Thank You' in Malay (it's the only phrase I know in Malay), but it was said with the tone of 'You've ruined my hair you imbecile', he smiles, I want to smash his teeth in with my flip flop.<br><br>Need some diving, off to the Perhentian Islands on overnight bus tonight, how exciting.<br><br><br><br><br>
Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia john.boyd.123My first stop in Malaysia was George Tonw on the island of Penang. My first observation of malaya was the developed roads and trasnport etc, it was a stark contrast to the rest of SE asia, everything was so much better organised and eficient, travelling was so much easier compared tom the stogy trasnort in Nam. Getting up to Penang was easy enough and I stayed in an okay room in China Town.<br><br>There were as I noticed generally alot ...
Bagan Luar, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia cavalierx... I helped Joy with some of her packages and we got a trolley and moved them to the local bus area that was down the road and away behind a metal fence from the tourist area. Joy had been here many times before and knew the route. There Joy bargained for both of us and we each got cheap tickets to Kuala Lumpur at around 20 RM. <br><br>It was interesting to note the differences between Thai and Malay. Even though ...
Butterworth, Pinang, Malaysia katt.busby... at even more staggering prices. What do they expect me to do here in this industrial little city when just across the channel on the island of Penang Georgetown is a backpacker`s paradise? I actually remember Penang very well. After my thirty days in that stinking rathole the Thai police had the nerves to call a police holding cell I got evicted from the Thai Kingdom as all Farang prisoners do after dutifully doing their time in jail - you`re allowed back into King Bhumipol`s ...
pinang, Malaysia farang020... around the same price. I also had a variety of fruit juices, that came served in bags with ice cubes, for 1.50 RM. There were a few fruits on the menu that I had not yet tried, but I guess they were not very popular because nobody seemed to have them in stock. Penang is a city that is primarily composed of Chinese people that emigrated from the Cantonese and Hokkien areas of China and a lot of the food that is available is of their culture ...
Pinang, Malaysia aaronpolarbearI just thought I'd focus an entry on the fabulous Malaysian food we've been eating. It's so good that Anna has declared Malaysia her new favourite country! Which just goes to prove what I've always said, the way to Anna's heart is through her stomach :) Here is a flavour of our extremely excessive eating. On the 6th of Feb (Waitangi Day, which incidentally I only remembered because they had a story about it the ...
