November 6th - 1st Day in Kuala Lumpur We planned our day nice and early and jumped up at the alarm. Armed with a big bottle of water and a map we hit the mean streets of KL! Our 1st aim today was the Petronas Twin Towers, we had read that it's important to get there early as the tickets for the viewing bridge are free but dont last too long once available. It didn't look too far to walk but as we wanted to get there ASAP we headed for the train station round th...

November 5th - Leaving Phi Phi, heading for Kuala Lumpur. Thank god we packed most our stuff last night! Once again we were up at a stupid hour to begin another phase of this adventure but first things first - BUFFET BREAKFAST!! We made sure we had time to at least sample, if not feast, on what was on offer...even if it did mean less sleep, we had our priorities right! As ever, the perception of the "English breakfast" had been a little diluted and co...

November 4th - Sam's Birthday treat! I was excited about today as we were moving on to Phi Phi Island Village resort for a little bit of luxury. Toms' birthday present to me!

No pain, no gain I suppose! We packed up and said good bye to our small hut, then struggled down t...

November 3rd - Our first morning waking up on Phi Phi island. Item number one on the agenda was to find out the best way to Kuala Lumpur, as we had to leave PP in just 2 days! Definately could have stayed much longer as there was much to do and see but by missing stuff, we have the perfect excuse to come back!! Every other shop on PP is a Travel/trip planner so after a quick "eenie, meenie, miney mo" we sat down and talked through our options with an ad...

As expected we were greeted on the pier by numerous hotel touts, desperate for us to choose them. Although a little annoying they are genuine and helpfull. We quickly found somewhere to stay - Tropical Garden Bungalows! A 10 min walk away, we were very relieved when told someone was coming to get our bags. A short chap arrived with a wheelbarrow type contraption and took our bags; despite having to push our luggage along many a bumpy track and uphill, we struggle...
