Perhentian Island, a paradise....!
Yes we left one of the paradise on earth this morning...!
as i wrote in the last post here (almost two weeks ago) we went out to an island called Perhentian island.. we ended up staying ther a bit longer then we thought... and that means we like it there..
stiart from the beginning.. it took us aprox 30 min to get to the island from kuala besut, You go there easiest by speedboat.. after those 30 min it feelt like you been doing an facial lift because of the wind in the speedboat.. well on the beach we ariived to we started to lok for a place to stay.. we only found one place and they had only a room for one night, so we took that..
because we only had accomendation for one night and we wanted to stay out there longer, we started to look for rooms.. we had to go to an other beach on the same island (perhentian island consists of two island, we stay at the bigger one). they told us it was fine just to walk there aprox 20-30 min walk, ok fine.. we started walking or it was jugke trekking.. really cool but very hot in the middle of the day.. well finaly over on the other side we find a place called cocohut where we choosed to book for 2 night, little bit more expensive but with a/c and breakfast incl... after we book this we went back to our beach (by watertaxi, really cheap way to get around to the beaches) and stayed there the rest of the afternoon and evening... when we went to bed we understood why everybody told us we should have a/c on the room, we didnt!! and that was the longest night ever!! it was soooooo HOT!!! both elin and me maybe slept 3 hours that night, so we where happy the next morninga nd we checked out to go to cocohut where we booked a/c :)
Cocohut turned out to be a really good place, simple room only cold shower, but nothing really to complain about.. so we deceided to extend our stay there...we stay in cocohut for 6 night and then they where fully booked so we decoded to stay at the other part of that resort called cozy the last 4 night, so in total we stayed at Perhentian island 11 night.. so teh last night at cozy was quite expensive but we had a nice room, with two dubble beds, hot shower, fridge and balcony... we think we were worth that after all the dorm rooms we been in during this trip!! so little bit lux holiday feeling...
so 11 days on a island with almost nothing to do.. then is the question what did we do all this days, my answer: Nothing really!! and it was nice,,, we realxed, enjoyed the sun on th beach (45degrees in the air, 35 in the water, the water did not even cool you down it feelt like going in a bathtub, never feelt so hot water in the ocean before), went snokling, did day excursion to other beaches and try the sand and the water there, meet nice people and of course ate a lot of good food...!
the days passed by pretty fast for soing nothing :)
want to tell you a little bit about the snorkling, it was amazing... we put the alarm on 7.30 on morning to go up and go snokling before breakfast, to try to catch a some fishes... and we did, we saw sharks, stingrays, seaturtle and "nemos" and a lot more!!! really cool!!!!
anyway yesterday was last day on the island and it started raining.. litle bit sad, but we got a really good tan anyway right now..hope it last until we come home aswell!!!!! so you all believe me ;)
But it feelt better to leave the island this morning when it was raining then to leave in sunshine :)we got really wet on the speedboat.. lycky we had raincover on our bags and we had dry clothes to change to when we arrived to the jetty.. from the jetty in Kuala besut we went by a minivan ti penang, 6 hour drive!!!!
that was a story by it self.. a really good minbus we comfortable seats, but the busdriver had already been driving for 6 hours when we got in and he was so tired and was about to fall alseep all the time.. :) crazy! but we arrived alive to Penang and georgtown at about 4pm (16.00)..
now about tomorrow, dont know so much yet, we book ferrytickets to langkawi and from tehre we see, we are planing to stay there for threenight, because then we have fly back to KL where we going to´do teh last shopping before we go back home to sweden..and 4 month travelling is over!!! i tell you one more time: time goes fast when you having fun!
so almost exactly in a week we will arrive to arlanda stockholm if the flight are on schedule :)
in langkawi i think we will have internet so ii will update you for sure!
long blog today.. sorry dont have teh energy to read it through, but i think you can see what i been writing anyway :)
take care!

After we arrived here, we went diectly to book our bustickets to take us up north tomorrow..
8 hours bus and we are supposed to arrive in Kuala Besut,.. i think we will sleep there for a night before we continue to the Perhentian island... think will will stay on those island for a week or two :) they are not so big so we maybe will change island a couple of times.. we see when we get there..
But therefore my headline today.. what i understood is not internet the most common facility on those islands so i dont know, when i get online again, but as soon as i do i will give you an update!!
I also read that that i can be little hard to get signal on your mobilephone, so we see... maybe we will live like robinson on this island... :) no contact with the world :) hihi, hope it not that bad!!
I look forward for a week or two in the sun on a beach, just realxing..! Maybe with one or two drinks aswell :)
sounds like a dream? im living it :)

Me and the boogie board at Byron Bay, lots of fun!!!!
so as soon as possible, i update you!! until that: Take care!!

Monkey, monkey and a beach... Borneo life is good!
We went to Sandakan last thursday with the local bus, an adventure for itself.. it took like 6 hours over the mountians to get there,, but its really cheap.. it cost us 30 ringit and thats like 80 swedish kronor..
sandakan and its surrondings is famouse for there monkey (and probably a lit more).. so we spent the next two days by visting two diffrent reserves for monkey.. one was Labuk bay where we saw Proboscis monkey, its the monkey with really big nose, so ugly but very rare to see, so that was fun!
Next day we went to Sepilok Orangutang Rehabilitation center.. guess what, we saw orangutangs there.. they are a lot more cute then the other ones... did you know that the orangutang is 96,4% like a human being :) and the name means the "man of the forest".. see i listen to what they told me...
so after three night in Sandakan, we took the adventure again to go back to Kota Kinabalu yesterday.. Everyone we meet have been telling us sbout the great islands they have outside Kota Kinabalu, so this morning did we go to harbour and took like a speedboat to one of the island called Manukan..
It was a really beautiful place!!
we had a great day in the sun, exactly what we needed after a week of doing things and travelling around :) we also needed it for the tan :) only three weeks left until we reach swedish ground and would be nice to have some colour then...
But no rest here, tomorrow we continue our travel again, back to Kuala Lumpur., We are planing to stay there for one night before we take the local bus again up north and see if we can find a nice island to stay on for a while.. thats the plans anyway, see how it works out! i will let you know!!

Me in KL Tower, in the background Petronas Twin Towers, world highets twin towers

Elin and me outside KL Tower

I loooove the food here!!!
so now, off to bed!!
good night to you all!!
take care!
kisses!
Borneo och Kota Kinabalu..!
but first a little about yesterday.. went up pretty early because we wanted to go up in the worlds highest twin towers, Petronas towers.. it opens 08.30 and we were there about 9.. already to late.. all the tickets for teh day waas gone and they told us to be back the next day 7 in the morning.. so maybe we will go there on our next stop in Kuala Lumpur.. we will coem back to Kuala one or two times before we fly home, because thats the easiest point to start from when we going around..
After that we had decided to see a little how the famouse shopping in Kuala looking like, so we went to two of the famouse shopping centres.. these shopping centres ar huge!!!!!!!! and i will for sure bring some things with me back home.. we have now planed that we will have the last day in Malasyia in Kuala to go shopping.. no point to buy it already now and travel around with it :) smart eyy? ;)
after 5 hours wating in shoping center we went back to the hostel with pain in our feets and relaxed for the rest of the day..
so this morning we woke up even earlier no rest here :) we ahd to leave the hotel 7.20 to go to the airport.. everything went fine and after 2.5 hours flight we arrived to Kota kinabalu internatinal airport (really small)...
we had not booked a hostel so we found some flyers at the airport and decided one that we thought looked good and went for that one.. turned out to be a okey hostel.. it is like in a industrial hall.. that they changed to a hostel.. and here we can efford a twin room, lux!!! so our next neighbour is very teh fix cars and things, little bit diffrent from Kuala Lumpur!
tomorrow have we decidede to take the bus to Sandakan and that is on the northeast of the island.. takes like 5 hours with bus... we will probably stay teher for a couple og days doing things from there.. more than that is not planed for the moment.. we want to see a little how much it is to do there and tehn decided!
so the trip will continue!!
dont miss it!! will update you!!
dont forget to comment and write to me!!
take care!
kisses!
