Malaysia

Malaysia: Almost at the end of our Asia travels, our last port of call being Malaysia. We first stayed in KL for a few nights before catching the 10 hour bus to Kota Bharu, where we catch another bus to Kuala Besut and a boat to Kuala Perhentian Besar..

We found a nice beach shack on the beach and didn't move too far away for the next two weeks. Met some great people while we were there and did absolutely sod all except chill out and read.

From The Island we caught the early morning boat back to the mainland and headed for Terranagu, where we stayed overnight before catching the morning bus to Melaka. Great little city with a world heritage status to boot. We stayed there for 5 nights before catching the bus back to KL for our last few nights. In KL we walked to the Orchid Gardens and the Bird Park which was really good. We did a little local sight seeing but kept things low key as we had almost run out of money :-( From Malaysia we took a strange route to Seattle via Taiwan.
