We spent a lovely couple days in Thailand relaxing at a snazzy resort. There was a beautiful pool, buffet breakfast, etc... Quite a change from the backpacker style bungalows and hostels we've been living in.
Then we tried to catch a bus back to Malaysia. Heh heh heh. Well...it was an interesting adventure...that left us stranded in a Malaysian border town with no transportation. Luckily we fell in with a bus that just happened to be stopped by the side of the road, and coincidentally they were headed in the direction we were headed! We negotiated a price, and hopped on.
We spent a day exploring Penang on a motorcycle and had an interesting hike in a "National Park". I think the definition of national park in Malaysian is a little different from ours. There was a family having lunch there, and not only were they leaving their garbage all over the place, but the father threw his leftover garbage into the trees for the monkeys. Then, when a monkey came closer to try and grab some of the food at the table, the crazy fool whipped a log at the little creature!
We also saw some giant lizard in the water...it was probably four feet long. We speculated that it might be a komodo dragon that would drag us to its lair and devour us, but we decided it probably wasn't.
The next day we caught a bus to Kuala Lumpur, and here we are. Today we're going to explore the town, and tomorrow we fly to Laos! That's when the real adventure starts...dum dum DUMMMMM!!!!!
