The Batu Caves, near Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia.

Around the Lake Gardens in a very hot Kuala Lumpar. The Sky Tower and the Petronas Towers behind.


We stayed in the quite wonderful Colisium Hotel in Kuala Lumpar. Built in the 1920's, it has been a hang out for expats forever and these days the downstairs bar is well occupied by friendly though ageing Malaysians all with a story to tell about their time in England. In the blue, Eugene studied at the Bar in Lincoln's Inn in the mid 70's before taking to spending his days regailing others with his adventures whilst studying at the Bar, Lincoln's Inn in the mid 70's. Larger than life Parrl loved Buckinghamshire whilst stationed there with the RAF and now is able to handily split his time between trading Medicines from Europe and winning on the GG's at the Colisium bar. Our British passports secured us plenty of free beer from these super friendly chaps.

En route by train to Thailand. We went on a bit of a rail mission from Kuala Lumpar to Chantaburi in Thailand, via Penang and Bangkok. This involved spend two days on the train and a while on the bus, all easily passed with the English language newspapers available from Malaysia.

The final leg on the bus from Bangkok to Chantaburi.
