We have done quite a bit of moving around since our last entry, but we will start with our crazy journey to Penang - we are so glad to be alive!! a young boy with a pimped out van picked us up early morn and proceeded to put our lives at risk from that very moment! Robyn whipped out her blow up pillow to use as a shock absorber as the driver weaved in and out of lorries and motorbikes at top speed, our leader requested that he slowed it up but upon refusal he was left with no choice but to involve management! needless to say we survived, although our destination wasnt quite worth the journey!!! We wont bore you with tales of Penang, as we werent overly impressed! But after two nights, we moved onto the cameron highlands where we had a better time! our rooms were under construction so we were upgraded to a top class appartment which we all stayed in, a night of beer, borat and passing out on the sofa followed! after a winding journey we are now in kuala lumpur, which is great apart from the halal kfc- but no worries the mcdonalds is all good! last night we went to the patronas towers (above) and sniffed out the topshop - we stretched to a pair of pants!! next stop was the reggae bar, ya man, 80p vodka and coke had us there til late! today we have been humouring the market traders by pretending to be excited at tales of their precious jewels - "its real amber you know" translates as "its 100% pure plastic"!! bless them. it has nearly been a month now, it has gone so quickly, but we think we are now certified travellers, as the sight of freshly laundered pants gets us all excited! sometimes we slip back into our 5star ways, like paying 2 ringitts for a luxury western toilet as opposed to the squat toilets that we have become worryingly accustomed to, robyns gag reflex has never worked so well! you just dont know how lucky you all are!!! see you in singapore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
