Cameron Highlands.

From the Cameron Highlands, this is the first post from Malaysia. The Internet connection speed is not up to standards for uploading pictures, so you'll have to do with text this time. This area is a bit cooler than Kuala Lumpur (KL), where we arrived friday after a two-hour flight from Phuket. Today we made a trip through the Mossy Forest, an extremely interesting habitat, with great views from the jungle now and then. Especially the tea plantations make up for a remarkable 'blanket' of fresh-looking green patches. KL was a bit disappointing, probably because we spent most of the time in Chinatown, where the cheap accomodation options are to be found. The 'hotel' was rediculously shabby. It'll be something to look back upon laughing. Let's just say the constant coming and going of youngh females made for a lively atmosphere...

Right now I'm posting from the complete opposite; the great hostel that we're staying in now really caters for all the needs of a backpacker! We have great views and it's comfortable, a treat when you're in the middle of nowhere! I hope to be able to quickly upload some more pictures, since they convey much more information and feeling of how it really is here.

After this, it's on tho the Perenthian Islands, where we hear the diving is excellent again. Untilll then.
