Selamat tengahari, Well, our time in Malaysia has drawn to a close. We spend one last night here, and then we fly off to Singapore for a few days before returning home. After posting last night, Chels and I just returned to our hotel, ate ourselves ... Read more >

Sepilok and KK

Wednesday, 10 Jan 2007 | Views [1135]

We arose quite early (5:30am) and quickly had breakfast before boarding the boat to leave SRL and head back to KK. It had been raining heavily all night and did not let up. Torrential came to mind several times, and at that point I was in love with my ... Read more >

SRL - day two

....and up we got. We had breakfast and then onto the boat just after 7am to go to the Ox-bow Lakes for a boat cruise and jungle trek. It took about 45 minutes to get to the Lakes, which were covered in floating plants, making them seem very un-boatable.... Read more >

Sukau Rainforest Lodge - day one

Wednesday, 10 Jan 2007 | Views [1415] | Comments [1]

We arrived at the Lodge after winding down more muddy roads, and crossing a river in a rickety old boat that took us away from all civilisation as we knew it. We checked into our rooms and had lunch. It was quite a quaint little lodge, particularly in ... Read more >

Gomatong Caves

I sit here in an internet cafe, rubbing my knees and sighing at a glorious 25 hours. We have just returned from our hike up Mt. Kinabalu, and it was just incredible. I am quite tired (though not as tired as poor little Choppy), and Mum; thankyou. Thankyou, ... Read more >

Hello kids. Just a quick entry to tell you about the wonderful restaurant that Chels and I went to on Thursday night. It was called Spice Island, and it was stunning. It was in the more expensive wing of our below average hotel, and we were expecting ... Read more >

Scuba me up!

Okay. I know that I said I wouldn't post for another couple of days, but our day finished early, and we thought, why not? I finally did it! I went scuba diving. It was bloody awesome. I wasn't sure how I'd go with it all, but it is amazingly tranquil.... Read more >

Sweaty sticky KK

Hello my little readers, Much has happened since the last entry. I do apologise for the belatedness of the update - apparently everything likes to close for a couple of days after New Year, and we don't love you enough to pay 20RM for 15 minutes. ... Read more >
