Hey hey!
Am currently sitting in an open air internet cafe on the beach in the perenthian islands, surrounded by white sand, the clearest sea i've ever seen and glorious sunshine!
After i left KL i spent a few days trekking in the cameron highlands - got caught out in a monsoon downpour and ended up slipping and sliding through the rainforest! I also fell in love with rotis - which are indian pancakes that come with curry sauce and in any flavour! It's a mark of how varied the malaysian culture is that wherever you are you have a choice of indian, malay or chinese food!
After visiting the tea plantations and doing a spot of hitch-hiking, i decided to make a swift run to the nearest beach! Have spent the past 4ish days just chilling out on the perenthians and topping up my tan! Living in a beach hut with a girl i met in the highlands, who is also heading to the thai islands. Lots of lizards and massive spiders around, but lounging on mats on the beach in the evening with fellow travellers and some seriously cheap bottles of vodka and red bull that is illegal in the uk makes it all worth it!
Dabbled in some snorkeling - lots of gorgeous coral and massive fish within easy reach of the beach! Today off to try out some canoeing and find a few of the deserted beaches we've heard about...so yet more chilling and then thailand!
It's easy to see how people get stuck here...the pace of life is so relaxed!
Ciao for now!
