Malaysian heat








Hiya
Hope all is well around the world, its ridiculuosly hot here, at least 35 I reckon, start sweating as soon as leave air con room...
We are in Penang, Georgetown, its quite a funky wee place, staying in Chinatown (we always seem to stay in Chinatown, think its mega cheap).
KL was awesome, similar to BKK really, so much to see and do, sensory overload! Took a ride out to the Batu caves, but didnt realise there was a Hindu festival on, and 1.4million Hindus were making a pilgrimmage to the same place..it was full on, felt like I was in India, I made the climb to the top to see the shrines which was cool..
Have been enjoying the food, lots of buffet style restaurants so you can choose what you want, and an endless supply of prawns :)
We spent 3 nights on Pangkor (Jases island paradise) he is a bit of a celeb there, he was recognised as soon as we got off the ferry!
It was very relaxing there, stayed in an Aframe hut, with a mosquito net over us for $3 nz a night haha.
Hired a motorbike to tour the island but it constantly crapped out, had to take it to the repair shop in the end, and we temporarily lost the key, which was a little stressful...
Tomorrow we are heading to Langkawi for a few more days on the beach..
