Hello gloomy England
Arrived back last night, can’t believe it’s only 14 degree here got used to at least 34c in Malaysia (so cold that Mike has just turned on the heater), still, glad to be back to my own lovely home and back to normal life and the normal food, no more greasy spicy food and the over-eating!
But I think Mike is going to miss all that..and his family of course, although we have planned to go in 2008 but he’s already talking about maybe pop over for a quick visit next year, with or without me.. *grumpy*
But anyway, next time we are not flying with MAS, very disappointed with the service, no wonder they are making loses and they are definitely going down hill.
Instead, we are planning to fly Singapore airlines directly to Singapore and spend couple of days there, then take the sleeper train to KL, and hopefully we can fly over to Ko Samui for a week or so.. (Thailand in case you don’t have a world atlas) hmm.. ok keep dreaming…
Highlight of the trip is definitely Cameron Highlands where we stayed a night on route to Penang, it’s like a holiday resort that was bullt by the Brits back in the days when Malaysia was governed by the British.. we were having scone and tea at the tip of the mountain it’s just lovely.. the place is famous for it’s local tea, strawberries and roses, hence we bought back loads of tea bags and strawberry jams as souvenirs.
And I’m just stuned by how cheap food is in Malaysia - we spent an entire afternoon in this exclusive swimming club in Panang with Mike’s family (Mike’s dad is a member) all the drinks, snacks plus dinner for 8 only comes to 20 quids! amazing!
Have just downloaded the photos will update my photo album when I finish relaxing… still in Malaysian mood at the moment (lazy). So glad I’m not going back to work till next Monday!! Can sit on my ass all day long the next few days, hee hee!
4 months to go til the next holiday now (4 days in Rome, woo hoo), might have to fit in couple of sickies in between
