all was going well, we got back to Merang, caught the taxi for the 2 hour ride to Marang, (which cost all of about 4 quid), giving ourselves plenty of time to do some shopping for gifts and then catch a boat to Redang.......until...........
.......to be honest, i didnt realise at first, just watching out of my window at all the shacks by the side of the road, the men drinking coffees and smoking, the women-doing everything else, i even didnt flinch as we nearly ran down some cows which decided to cross the "road" we were on to get a drink....... i mean driving in Asia is always a bit crazy, the cab drivers all seen to have "greek" driving licences. (you no, the type where you pay the local police man in your vilage a fiver and he takes you to the kafenon and back again and deems you road worthy)......
it was only when laura was squeezing my hand (quite hard) almost a pregnant, oh my god, its coming now, type squeeze....... the taxi driver had made the decision to, while he was driving us to Marang, on which i give him credit, was a lovely sunny day...he decided to fall asleep, you know, take a little nap at the wheel, two minutes wont hurt, type of thing. what a cock.....
so after nudging the car back onto the road i had half hour to practice my malaysian. i mainly just sang Arsenal songs to him and called his mother names.
Marang is nice, again, nothing here but a boat port by the dise of a river and a few hostels. we spent 30 ringgitt (4 quid) at a mans stall which was enough for him to thank us over and over again and pack up for the day with a very content look on his face. bless 'em.
anyway, we took a PRIVATE boat over to the island, i felt like James Bond. laura felt......hot
