April 9th (Thursday) - Day 40 - Penang to Cameron HighlandsShock horror another 5am start. We were getting a bus at 6am to the mountain ranges of Malaysia. There were 5 other people on the bus. An older couple who are travelling for a year (who live like 5 mins from me) and 3 uni guys (one of which lives 10 mins from me). The 3 guys had been up all night and were fairly drunk. They even had a whiskey on the go. We all spoke for about 30 minutes before they passed...

April 6th (Monday) - Day 37 - Ko Phangan to Penang, Malaysia 5am wake up for our 6am taxi to the ferry terminal. The ferry to the mainland took 2.5 hours. We then had a coach journey to the closest city. That was 1.5 hours. We then got in a mini bus to the border town.

I am lucky t...

April 4th (Saturday) - Day 35 - Ko Samui To Ko PhanganWoke up and it was overcast but dry. As soon as we went to leave it started to rain. We got our rip off taxi to town and waited for the bus.

It took about 45 minutes and it was still raining when we reached the other side. We jumped in the nearest cafe we could find and had a soft drink. I ...

April 2nd (Thursday) - Day 33 - Ko SamuiWe were woken at 2am for a rest stop and went back to sleep. We arrived at the Catameran port at 5am and had 2 hours to wait. The boat took 3.5 hours and we got to our connection to our hotel. We didnt realize it when we booked but our hotel was in the middle of no where.

March 31st (Tuesday) - Day 31 - Siem Reap to Bangkok, Thailand3 hour drive to the Thai boarder again very uneventful apart from lunch over the border. We sat in a cafe and the heavens opened. I have never seen rain like it even coming from England. It lasted for about 15 minutes and just stopped. It dried up almost straight away. It drove a large amount of flying ants out and the frogs and gekcos where having a feast. 4 hours later we were all back at the starti...
