Up early and down to the station for my 8am bus, that comes at 8.40. This bus is again super comfortable, but also super cold. Luckily I always pack the buff and a long sleeve t-shirt to cope in these situations. I arrive in Kuala Lumpur and come across my first bout of frustration. When I bought my bus ticket, I asked what station I got left at because I was heading to Melaka, I was told that it didn't matter what station because I could get a bus to Melaka from...

So we are up at 7.30 and ready to go after a great sleep in the cooler conditions of the Cameron Highlands. I grab some Roti for breakfast and some Baps for lunch and then off we go. ----- I have picked route 9 because SJ had done it and said it was good. When discussing it with the hostel they advise against it due to it's challenging nature. Sounds perfect. Not many people do this route so hopefully we will just be on our own enjoying the nature. The route ma...

I booked my bus for the afternoon so I could have a bit of a lie in this morning. I grab some of the free breakfast before saying bye to SJ, who is off to Melaka, which is where I'll be heading after the Cameron Highlands. Breakfast done and it's the walk to the travel agents to get my bus. I'm not excited about the walking in the mid day sun with all my gear. Mental note, this is why you travel first thing in the morning! I get there in good time, though the gir...

We get up early so as to get some time on the bike before we have to give it back. We are heading to Kek Lok Si, which is the biggest Chinese temple in Penang. It shouldn't be that far away on the Moto, but taking in to account the potential to get lost we leave early. More Mayhem on the roads and end up driving through this market which is in full flow, with people everywhere, great place to have your Moto. After getting lost and found again we eventually get up...

We get up at about 10 and head to the nearest mall to change our Baht in to Ringet, a nice sweaty walk. Not before we trail around various other hostels to see if we have the best available, we didn't and so we will move later. I have another look for my bag, mine is starting to annoy, and so a new one is required. The area has two shopping centres attached together and so with some extensive looking there is nothing of suitable quality for me. A quick coffee and...
