22/07/16 It was finally time to say goodbye to Malaysia, after 5 weeks I feel completely rested and ready to experience some culture. Malaysia, while it has great food and beaches, lacks a certain je ne sais quoi in terms of culture.

Malaysia – Penang rest day
21/07/16 Shameless to say I had a full and total rest day but also very productive in sorting out future flights and hostels. Sometimes you need admin days to catch up on everything.

Malaysia – Penang, National park
20/07/16 As it was a really nice day and because I felt really lazy I decided to go to the national park and hike to the monkey beach.

Malaysia – Penang Hill and street art
19/07/16 The morning started off pretty rainy, but I didn't let it stop me. I decided to check out all the street art which is found near the clan jetties, so with my map and poncho I set out.

Malaysia – Penang
18/07/16 I arrived at Penang bus station at 5.30am completely tired and disorientated. No idea on where I was and how I get to Georgetown. Luckily I found some fellow travellers who told me we were to wait for the public bus as it was only 2RM. This bus didn't come until 6am so I … Continue reading Malaysia – Penang

Malaysia – Kapas Island, jungle trek
13/07/16 To keep active I went on the jungle hike, at the top of the beach there is the longer hike to the other side. It was a typical jungle hike but I was wearing flip flops so it was extra slippery, especially because it had rained that morning. I saw so many huge insects … Continue reading Malaysia – Kapas Island, jungle trek
Malaysia – Kapas Island, sharks
12/07/16 To try and see some more sharks I snorkelled across to the left of the island where there is another beach, it was quite a long distance but it felt good to do some exercise! I didn't see any sharks but again I was pleased with all the fish I did see and the … Continue reading Malaysia – Kapas Island, sharks
Malaysia – Kapas Island
11/07/14 After a night bus to Kuala Terrangu, we finally arrived in Marang. I had to ask the bus driver to stop by the Marang jetty so we could avoid getting a bus back on ourselves from KT. We had a quick walk around the mosque to get to the jetty, there were signs so … Continue reading Malaysia – Kapas Island
