Singapore, Day 1 – August 29 2007
Arrived bright and early in Singapore this morning. In fact due to a beefy tailwind most of the way, we rocked up an hour earlier than we were due to (and we were due at the unholy time of 5:45am). Too bad Celine (slacker!) wasn’t as early as the plane. Also my cunning plan to get up the previous morning at 6am, stay awake all day and then pop a sleeping pill to ensure an unconscious plane trip was a total failure.

Journey to Penang (Malaysia) – September 5th 2007
After our (all too) brief sojourn in the lap of luxury it was time to hit the road again on our quest north toward the Thai border.

Before I write a post on the island itself and where we stayed I thought I’d pop up a bit about the monkeys. Chaotic little bastards that they are. Our first encounter with them was when we first got to our room at Pangkor Island Resort (the ‘splurge’ part of the journey). First afternoon I walked outside to see a monkey sitting on the fence to our villa only meters away, I quickly ran in and got the camera and Celine decided to feed him a banana, as soon as he saw the food he charged Celine (which I think...

Penang – 5th & 6th September 2007
If you stay in Penang then you absolutely have to stay at the travellers lodge (75 Muntri st). The reason is the owner, Mr Loh, is quite possibly the happiest guy on the planet. Whether it is the first time you walk in or the 12th time you wander in from a day exploring he has a smile for you (all three teeth of it) that seems to be trying to split his head in half. From bending over and waving frantically at the floor to show how to pronounce his name (my name Low, you know *wave at... Read More ››
