Robbie’s Travel Adventure!

Sorry this last update has taken so long but internet access has either been rare, or rather expensive! We are currently about to spend our last night in south east asia! We are in singapore and fly out at about 11pm local time tomorrow!

After Borneo we returned to Kuala Lumpur and actually managed to leave the airport! We spent four days resting our extremely tired legs and exploring the city. Kl is a mass of cultures with China town, the colonial district and little india all within walking distance of each other. We spent most of our time just  roaming the city, taking in the many different buildings, atmospheres and people. We also vistited several of the large shopping centres which were quite ridiculously big! The main attraction was the twin Petronas towers, towering high above the sky line. We went to visit the towers and go up to the sky bridge, as well as the exhibition, shopping centre and cinema inside! Them next day we visited the communications tower, which although shorter than the twin towers, offered better views of the city. It was nice to be back in a big bustling city after a month or so without.

 Next we headed north to the cool temperatures of the cameron highlands. We welcomed to 21 degrees as a refreshing break. ring our few days there we did a short hill walk which was supposed to take 6 hours but took us 2 and a half. Kinabalu had obviously given us good practise! We also visited a tea plantation, that stretched for 2,200 acres. Unfortunately production is now all mechanised so there were no pickers out in the fields but it was very interesting none the less! From the cool highlands we headed to the roasting heat of the Perhentian islands. After a 5 hour bus ride we boarded a small boat and sped towards the islands. Once there we were able to do nothing but relax. Lying on the white sands or swimming in the clear see, getting a good look at all the coral and fish. After a few days of solid relaxation we got on a 11 hour bus bound for Singapore. We arrived this morning and have been wandering around the shopping districts all afternoon. Now its just a case of waiting for our return flight tomorrow evening!

 So i suppose this is my final post! I hope you all enjoyed reading about our travels and i shall see all of you very soon!
