Having a good rest here and well earned its hard having to figure out where to go and arrange trains buses flights and hotels thank god ive got a laptop with me. Its good to stop and think for a while.
The hotel has a lot of Malays here on school holidays and with that brings lots of kids, there is also a group of business people doing a team building weekend and have taken over the pool, why do all team building days have to build a raft and have races up and down the pool?

Its fun to watch them and destruct the poorly designed craft.....
There is plenty to do around here and the beach is quiet and deserted thankfully no Germans to take all the loungers.
Going to the night market tonight with an Ozzy guy and woman from Peterborough I met earlier he is a journalist and they are regulars here and have told me a lot about the places to visit like the mountain train and the temples.

Had a good cheap meal and a few beers in Ferrengi Batu, nice to get back and there was a band on had some more drinks to put me asleep.
I am looking forward to going to Cameron Highlands its in the mountains and cooler there, they say it is like a mini England !
