Steph's Asia Trip
Tom arrived safely in Kl, although 3 hours late - which gave me chance to freeze in the air con at the airport and eat my way through a very nice tuna sandwich in brown bread (real novelty in Asia!) and a small bag of pick'n'mix (which was extortionately priced!)
He brought me some tea bags and millionaire's shortbread and flapjacks from M and S so we had tea and cakes at 5pm!!! Very welcome!
Spent a couple of days in KL and saw some sights and went to some nice restaurants including a great wood-fired oven pizza place. Also went up the KL tower at night which was really great. It rained a lot though which was a bit of a shame.
We arrived in Kuala Selangor yesterday - the reason we came here was to see the fire-flies. We're stayng at a nice hotel (which is really cheap!!) and they've got air conditioning! We got a cab to the fire-fly jetty last night and then got a 40min boat ride up the river/mangrove swamp. The fire flies were so amazing! Nothing like I'd expected. They were like tiny LED's in the bushes - all flashing snd synchronised with each other. It was sooooo cool! Almost as if the bushes had been sprinkled with glitter! The kind of place the Tinker Bell Idea might have come from. Tom and I really enjoyed it.
We're leaving Kuala Selangor today to go back to KL and then get the night train to Hat Yai, where we'll change to a 9 hour train to Chumphon, to get the ferry to Ko Tao (again for me). Am really looking forward to a sunny beach (fingers crossed for the weather). Although slightly dreading the journey.
