Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia to Chinley, England

Hi Guys,

We arrived buy bus to the big city of KL (Kuala Lumpar) and then took a 'sky-train' to China town also known as the backpacker district. A man can up to us and led us to a "flash" little guesthouse which had everything we didn't need but it made it very comfortable. In the evening we went out and had dinner at a chinese buffet/food court. We then we shopping at all the street stalls selling cheap clothes and other junk including counterfeit rolex watches, bags and shoes. We tried some different foods and bought jandals and undies.

Next morning we got up early and waited in line for tickets to the Petronas Twin Towers (once the tallest towers in the world-452metres). The went 41 stories (half-way up the towers) to a sky-bridge between the towers and saw wonderful views of KL. Today was Mum's birthday but we didn't do anything special.

In the afternoon we flew to Bintulu, Malaysia. We took a Bus to Miri and arrived a midnight. Some drunk Taxi drivers wanted to charge us double for a ride so we started walking 5km into town, luckily some nice locals gave us a ride and we found a place to stay.

The day afer we took a bus to the Brunei/Malay border and entered Brunei, we took five or more buses to Berakas-where the Fuller/Walkers live. That night we caught up with our friends and had Lasanga and Cheese-which we had all been craving! (Thank you Claire)

The next day Dad spent all day doing washing-which he might as well have put in the rubbish they were that disgusting. We went swimming and watched Marc and Max play football in the evening. We also had fun walking in the forest and going Ten-pin Bowling while Mum and Dad repacked our bags for Europe.

On Sunday night we flew to London, stopping in Dubai to refuel. We got to Heathrow Int. Airport at 6am (it felt like lunch time) we took the 'tube' to central London, then a train to Chinley, Derbyshire (near Manchester) where we are staying with Mum's friend Fiona, partner Nigel and her dog/daughter 'Flossy'.

We have been enjoying Fiona's vegetarian cooking and are having 'Number threes' tonight. Yesterday we walked to a historic canal and had a picnic. We are staying here while Mum's on the hunt for a motorhome and we are loving the cooler climate of England.
