Paradise no more..

Well, stopped blogging for a few days because of the super-expensive satellite internet on tiny Malaysian island.. back on the mainland now so here I am again.

Pulau Perhentian was sooo lovely... my four nights there seemed like 2 weeks, time moved so slowly. I had the loveliest time.. basically did nothing.. except one day I rented snorkel gear and swam with lots of colourful fishies :) The fish there are not the least bit shy either..

The electricity 12 hours a day only was the only thing that took getting used to... and only because that meant no aircon.. it was bloody hot there.

Got back into Kuala Besut (where the the speedboats come in from the islands) about 12:45pm, after a fast and a bit bumpy ride.. was promptly met by a taxi driver who delivered me to my guesthouse in Kota Bharu - the nearest city with an airport. Tomorrow I fly to Bangkok, via Kuala Lumpur.

The guesthouse is very... basic. The toilets.. kinda work. My room is comfortable enough. I'm not complaining - it cost about $5 for the night, for a private room.

Just spent the afternoon relaxing, had a bit of a wander, eventually got some dinner and now am thinking about bed.. lol it's only 8:30pm. Who's almost 30? Who's getting old?
