Kuala Lumpur was a lot bigger than we had expected! The day we got there we decided to go around the shopping centre whilst waiting for our hostel room to be ready.. BIG mistake. My huge rucksack rubbed my shoulders raw! The shopping centre was amazing though! It had a roller-coaster all around it.
We also went to China town for a few days which was a hectic little town. Question, is there a china town in most cities?? I have been to so many now!
Bali! we stayed in Kuta which was awesome! a great night life and beautiful long beach!! We went on a few mini trips one of them was an amazing day on a boat, snorkelling and lots of swimming! Some of the fish are mental.. i'm pretty sure they could have eaten me! I tried teaching samuel to dive down to the seabed but he kept on floating up bless him! We stopped off at this beautiful hotel somewhere i have no idea where. The pool over looked the sea. It was like a picture in a magazine!
We also had a day trip to an elephant zoo and for the second time i got to ride on one! However this time was so much better, the elephant trainer had looked after his elephant since it was a few days old and genuinely loved her! We went around the forest which was beautiful and then in to the large pool which was a little scary. They then let us sit on eles neck whilst she did some tricks.. pretty hard to explain.. Picture time?
However lovely it was to have samuel out there we argued a lot and i felt we had grown distant.. i think that's when i knew it had to be over.. i just wanted to hold on for longer. we have now broken up but are staying friends, which i really love. He's a great guy.
I then met up again with a guy i had met back in Thaialnd. Andy and i get on really well and i was excited to see him again :) We met in Bali and got a boat across to the Gili islands. We stayed on Gili trewangan. AMAZING tinyy little island! There are no roads cars of engines over there! you cycle, walk or get horse and carriage everywhere. slightly like going back in time.. we thought it would be a bit quite at night but boy where we wrong.
The night life on this tiny little island was crazy. I tried shroomshakes for the first time here .. and had a very interesting night!
I loved the mini cinemas on the beach and watched plenty a films before hitting the Irish bar for a cheeky shake.
After a few days of doing nothing but sunbathing we wanted a bit of an adventure so we got a boat over to Lombok. Big mistake...
We where both running low on cash so we decided to hire a jeep drive ourselves across the island.. we also decided to sleep in the jeep at nights. OK so we could deal with the bites ( even though i wasn't taking malaria tablets) and we could deal with sleeping in old, hard seats that didn't move much.. what we didn't like much was when a group of guys tried to break in whilst we where sleeping.. was pretty terrifying having someone trying to open the door on you.. after that we decided to park the jeep in the town with lights so at least if anything happened there would be others to see it! eye witnesses... that's what we needed. Here is our home for the few days we managed it.
It was so much fun to drive though.. even if the headlights where ridiculously weak, the windscreen wiper fell off just as it started to pore it down.. there where no street lights OR street signs. LOVED IT. i love off roading and trucks and this was so much fun. Really made me miss my dad though as we normally do that kind of thing together. He would have loved it.
We then split paths as i went back to Bali to catch a flight to Singapore. I was only there two nights but managed to get a lot done! I went all around the shops with a stalker from Iraq who i managed to loose whilst trying clothes on in yet another shopping centre.. (and i wonder why my money ran out.. )
I then went to the Night safari zoo! which was so much fun :D I met a great girl from the hostel and we went around the zoo together. Singapore food is . welll.. interesting. we got these three puddings, one amazing. It had lychee type things floating in it.. others not so nice.. with sweetcorn type fillings and tofu.. blah.
The second day i was there a few of us from the hostel did a scooter tour. We went all around Sinapore on these old school scooters with bells. I loved it! We went to loads of temples, gardens, museums and shops.
