We booked a boat and bus to take us across Malaysia, to the East Coast. Here's a breakdown of that one, crazy night journey:

6pm: We embark a small passenger ferry at Kualah ferry terminal which will take us over to the mainland. A young Malay guy who has just qualified to be a police officer ...

Trying to get out of Marang proved a lot harder than we originally anticipated. After dragging our increasingly heavy bags across town to the bus stop, we waited for a good hour and not a single bus came past bound for the city just 20km down the road! Giving up on that idea we decided to get a taxi which again yielded little success as there were none to hail - it seems once you get to this town they don't like you to escape. We ...
