Steph and Stevens travels!
Hey everyone!
We left Penang on Sunday and caught the ferry to the bus station (we had to carry our backpacks for about 10 mins and were exhausted lol!). When we got to the bus station we found that the bus was delayed and we ended up sitting on the floor of the bus station for 2 hours which was fun. We eventually got the bus to take us to Kuala Kangsar and then a very clapped out van called Rustico took us to the lake where Aziz took us in his speed boat to his island Suka Suka which means be free. There we met his family - Azia his wife and Azam his v cute son and Annie their maid. That evening we had a bbq and played Chonka, a traditional game which Steven won.
On Monday (happy birthday to mum and Charlotte!) we had a traditional breakfast of curry and roti before Aziz took us on a guided walk through the village on a nearby island which took us through the forest to a waterfall. While walking through the forest we both encountered many leeches - Steven had 10 and Steph had 6 and thats not counting the ones just on our shoes! Later on we kayaked around the island which was extremely hard work - we saw some water buffalo swimming next to us! After that we watched the cross river swimming challange, which only Jamie and David took part in. The record before they started was 29min50secs and David broke the record with 28min50secs even though he started going well off course early on. Jamie on the other hand had enough once he reached the other side and didnt fancy the return leg, so Aziz picked him up in the speed boat. Later that night, we had another traditional meal where everyone had to wear sarongs! We had to sit on the floor and eat with our fingers, Steph felt at home lol. Steven acted as host with Aziz and served people the rice when people had nearly finished a portion! After the meal we played Chonka again, Steph won this time but im sure there was some cheating going on!!!!!
We left the family this morning and had a fantastic time there, but Steph has been bitten loads again lol!
Love Steph and Steven x
