Hi all

We're in Kuala Lumpur having great fun bartering at the markets and tasting the street market food. We haven't been brave enough to try fish head stew or battered chicken feet though. We've wandered through Chinatown, Little India and sat at the bottom of the beautiful Petronas Towers staring at the lights while it got dark. It's about 31 degrees, and very humid!

We had a 3 day stop in Singapore which was brilliant. How many shopping malls can one city handle! Amazingly I managed to leave with bank balance intact.

Today we travel north to the Cameron Highlands where there are lots of tea plantations and it's much cooler so I will be in my element. On Friday we're on to Penang and intend crossing the Thailand border on Monday.

Lots of love
