Today would be my last day in Johor Baru before heading to Singapore in the evening. I had promised to cook Macy to of my favorite Australian dishes - Aussie omelette and Aussie rissoles. For lunch I made the rissoles which consisted of: 750g lean beef mince, 2 large onions, green/yellow capsicum, zucchini, carrot, garlic, spiced tomato purée, BBQ sause, flour, egg and a little cheese. After cooking and softening all the veg I let cool in refrigerator before s...

Today I had a bit of a sleep in which was nice before grabbing a quick breakfast and making our way to Malaka - a famous Portuguese settlement on the coast of Malaysia. The journey was just under 200km but because of the insane traffic it took us nearlly 5 hours to reach our hotel.

Finally a good nights sleep and I am up ready for another action packed day! We checked out of the hotel at about 9am and headed for Johor Baru.

The rain was so heavy you could b...

First thing we went and picked up some fruit and snacks and then made our way out to our first stop Taman Negara. Taman Negara is the southern t...

Unfortunately I hadn't booked the first bus and the second one was to leave at 10:30am and it was a good walk from bus station. So with that in mind I was feeling quite uneasy and left the house at 7am. I managed to get some info at the bus station and caught the correct bus to Ipoh - I had asked the bus driver to stop at a certain p...
