Penang on the West coast of Malaysia

Map of Penang on the west coast of Northern Malaysia
The bus journey over was uneventful and relatively easy for us - which makes a change. Usually bus journeys (or any kind of moving transportation) tend to be total nightmare. This did go uncharacteristically smoothly….. We drove through beautiful mountains covered with [...]

Pulau Kecil Perhentian - The small island

17/04/08 Getting the boat from the jetty at Kuala Besut was easy and very straight forward. It all seemed arranged to almost military accuracy. There are apparently no slow boats running any more and the fast boats leave regularly. Tehya enjoyed the ride over, with big smiles - she said the wind kept going [...]
