Finally Some Rest on the Beach

Well the trip from KL to Pulau Pangkor was interesting... I arrived at the bus station at 12:00 and was sold a ticket which left at 2:30, which normally wouldnt make much of a difference but the trip itself was 3 hours and I was then getting close to dark when I arrived (I always try to arrive during daylight). It was an interesting ride. Buses in Malaysia have 3 seats across, two together and one alone, and no washroom in the back. Instead the bus stops at a restroom place and you pay to use the washroom (now as a business idea this is one I may try to bring back to Canada....hahahahh). The Island is very nice. I found a room, with TV and A/C for 40 RM, which is just over 10 Canadian. So far I get up for the Hotel breakfast, eat, then head to the beach, hang out till around 2:00 (It is really hot here, although I think I am starting to get used to it a bit) then grab lunch, rest a bit and head back to the beach. So far I have had dinner all three nights at the same place, always with a large Tiger Beer. There are quite a few people here, mostly families on vacation, less backpackers. The beach is awesome. The water is like a bath. Sleeping is sometimes hard, lots of sounds (including a cat moaning which sounding like a small child crying.) I leave tomorrow for Penang a city on an island just south of Thailand. I plan to spend a one night there, maybe two then head to Camron Highlands (in the center of Malaysia) which was an old lookout for troops and is known for its Tea.
