Cameron Highlands

Got into Tanah Rata and went out for dinner with an Aussie couple.

Tea Plantation photo from the bus

Robinson Waterfalls
Did a bit of a jungle walk

to the top of the mountain to look down on the town 'Tanah Rata'

This is where my camera packed it in....
Went back to Kuala Lumper for a few days and got a new camera.

Selangor

Went to Kuta Caves...
Big statue out the front...
Heaps of monkeys trying to grab your stuff and run away with it... almost lost my camera..
Don't they look cute and innocent!!!
Staying near KL in Selangor (Just over the border really).. not a bad spot, glad I came here.. it is not listed anywhere in the backpackers and traveling info so it is the sort of place I like.
I have never seen ice skating inside a shopping center before
And a big water park out the back.

Staying with Kay.. she is a really nice lady, except she forced me to eat some durian...I have tried it before so I was expecting the worst but this one seemed to be a bit better then last time.

Kay and I out at dinner...
Lots of really yummy food to eat!!!

More food with Kay and some of her friends.

Went for a swim in a thermal pool with Kay and her friend Chris...it was pretty hot really. Almost looks like mushroom and person soup.

Then went to a nice park and saw people feeding a lot of fish... I mean heaps of fish...

looks like a big fish soup.

Did a boat cruise and saw lots of fire flies (All my photos turned out black!!!) in Kuala Selengor and then went out for a nice seafood dinner... didn't get a picture of the feed, but was very nice... loke most of the food we have been eating.

Here's a picture of Kay cooking up a storm...

Kota Bhuru

Travelled the East coast from Kuantan to Kota Bharu on a seven hour bus ride.. not much to see in between took one photo.

There is meant to be nice islands off the coast and did see some from the bus, but all I really noticed was the smog and air polution... must be much nicer under the water with the fish and coral.

Might look at doing some islands in Thailand instead.

Getting ready to do the jungle railway.

Did Jungle railway today.. 8 hours on the train.. not bad... was surprised to see so many houses and built up area all the way.. I was really expecting to see jungle.. Oh well saw a little bit I guess. Got back into Kuala Lumpa tonight and got a bed and a feed, feel a lot better after that.

Might spend one more day here and the up to Selangor on Wednesday.

Kuantan

Kuantan is a small and fairly nice town
They boast to have the biggest Mosque on the east coast...Every body has the biggest, smalles, longest, highest something don't they???

Drove around in a little Malaysian built car.
Went to Punching Caves and saw the sleeping Bhuda
Looked over the palm oil tree plantationsThen we had to travel across vast lands and wild countryto get to a waterfall for a swim. Actually we drove, but I thought the story would sound better!!!

Went for a walk to a beach... forget the name...and saw some monkeys
Went to another beach called Charating beach
here is a picture of some bungalows there..
Had a quick look in a fishing village near Charating Beach

Kuala Lumper

Stayed for 4 nights (2 on the way to Kuantan and 2 on the way to Selangor)

Twin Towers
and from a distance...
and Kuala Lumper Tower

China Town markets..

"Bye a watch sir"

"Bye a bag sir"
"Do you a good price sir"

Walked around the city.

Just another busy city... " let me outa here!!!"

A couple of signs at the bus stop on the way out!!!No Beeping Horn (I think)

You can work out this one for yourself.

Through to Selengor...

I saw a nice girl on the side of the street last night... gave me a smile... I smiled back and then she says in a deep manly voice... "come we have fun time"... yes it was a guy... my first encounter with a lady boy... I decided to get out of that street.

As I walked up the street there were more girls (I think they were girls) blowing kisses and saying stuff like "come for fun time, come for fun time"... oh well.. thats what traveling is all about I guess. Sorry.. didn't get a picture of the lady boy... he may have wanted me to pay!!!

Another picture of a mosque in KL.

Melaka

Spent 7 days in Melaka... quite a nice first stop...

I did a lot of walking.. got lost a couple of time, but always found my way back... somehow!!
A nice looking temple on the island close by..

Saw some huge kite flying

Didn't try one of these China town markets
Saw a Kung Fu guy put his finger through a coconut...to fast for the camera!!
wanted me to throw playing cards and coconuts at him!!

Did a Chinese tea courseMet a heap of fellow travellers

And ate some wonderful home cooked food Watched the two crazy Russian girls dance in the streetThey also got into some different religious rituals
This was interesting...
Went into a pub / restaurant
Washed our feet and sat at a table with our feet in a pool while drinking a few beers
All these little fish come up and nibble on the dead skin on your feet..
tickles a bit but is very pleasant and they do a good foot cleaning job.

I ate a century egg (100 year old egg).. don't have evidence of that one!!

Rode a bike around for a week..

I met a nice Vietnamese girl and took her riding for a day.. She had a nice singing voice too.. Here is some of the loacl wild life..the lizard on the bank is pretty big, but the one in the water was really big...
Here is one on the side lazing in the sun...Here is another one wrapped around a building...A group of locals playuing Majong..
Check out the tight staircase on the back of the building...
