After a 2 hour bus journey we arrived at the town of Ipoh or Ipod as we like to call it!!
Whilst on the bus we were going the highlands and there was an amazing storm. Heavy rain, thunder and fork lighting.
We got a taxi to take us to the Sun Garden Inn. Whilst checking in we met a guy from Germany called Jochen, he had come from Kuala Lumpur.
We were all starving so ventured out for food and got soaked in the process as the storm had followed us.
We found a nice Indian on the corner and it was so cheap and delicious.
After the feast we decided to walk around as the storm had finally passed. We all quickly relised we were the only backpackers here and the reason for this was there was nothing to do in this town, everything was a bus ride away. So we booked a ticket to the Cameron Highlands for the next day...
On the evening we all went out again for a wonder and a beer. We stumbled across a market which was pretty cool and very cheap.
We eventually found a bar and ordered some well deserved Tiger beers. They offered us promotion of 3 large Tigers and Guiness. We accepted this over not realizing they mixed the Guiness with the Tiger. To our surprise it was really nice...after a few beers we decided to go back to the hotel however we came across a KFC which was packed. So we decided to join in with locals and have some supper kentucky style.
Tomorrow we leave for Cameron Highlands...
