Week 26 (Malaysia & Indonesia)

12/14


Woke up at 9.30 or so. Media, breakfast, read, tried to walk to the botanical gardens for the 2nd time and... yeah! Succes. It was a bit of a let down however. And far too hot.
On the way back a huge poordown, which made me shelter for more than 40 minutes. Hard time to find the way back. Got myself a cheesy french fries (Yum, is that known in Holland already?) at Burger King, back to the guesthouse, made soup, read, slept on the couch of the balcony, showered, update blog now. Going to publish week 25 too now.
Laterz...

Did a Big Tiger & a great Sweet&Sour pork in China Town. Watched Man U - Liverpool in the Guesthouse. Slept round 11.30.


12/15

Woke up at 9.00 or so. Breakfasted, Starbucks coffee, Subway sandwich, Last shoppings (candy for on the road), took the bus to KLIA2 (KL International Airport 2) (1.5 hour drive!). Far too early here at the airport (as usual), so... checked in too early too (had boarding pass already printed out ... it is convenient; can't deny that). Now updating blog near a very expensive Burger King (a whopper is very tempting though). Waiting for my flight to Den Pasar, Bali... and waiting... <yawn!>. Laterz.

Well, there was free wifi, so... FB-ed my ass off. And ate a whopper. Finally.
Checked in at 7.15, boarded at 7.50, departed 20 minutes too late at 8.50 or so. In the air now.

Landed at 23.45, found the others straight away (other flight, but same landing time), passport control and checks went really quick. Waited for the hotels driver for a while and went to Asoka Hotel. Great place, with a dutch speaking manager (weird guy though), sipped two beers and slept like two logs.



12/16, 17 & 18

Sleeping in, long walks along the beach, nice food, swimming in the sea, good chats with fellow travellers, and relaxing days. Lots of rain everyday! Cools it down bit. Everybody is (perhaps unawarely) preparing for the big goodbye I think. No complaints, lots of laughter, no irritations, hugs, ...
Found a nice room for the extra 2 days (12/21&22) I spend here, when the rest has gone.
Laterz.


12/19

Slept like a log again. Rooms are so comfortable. Today i have to swap rooms with Corrine, since her husband comes in. I have to share again. With Canadian Alli. There goes the privacy. She's a nice woman though.
Sitting here in the humid (Laptop is wet) updating blog and trying to connect to the internet. No succes so far. Do some breakfast shopping first now I think.
Laterz...
Days pass by going to the beach, sipping beers, conversations with fellow travelers, and very good sleeps (since the rooms are so comfortable).


12/20

Another day on the beach, where i was washed away by heavy rain though.
In the evening there was the farewell party. We ordered pizza at the pool. Nice!
