Malaysia and Singapore!

So, the journey continues!!....(actually, in all honesty, i am home now, but wanted to finish with the blog so people could read how the story finishes!)

We met up with our last group, for our final tour. We were surprised to see that Canadians were the mojority. The leader was from tononto, and 2 others in the group were from southern ontario as well! there were 2 couples in this group then some individuals from europe and 2 people from south africa. It was a great group of people and we had some great times together!

Pennang thailand- BUSY place! lots of traffic and people in 'georgetown' (which was the downtown-ish inner island area of pennang). Here we had a whole day of free time, so the two of us rented mopeds, and drove the diameter of the island. Such beautiful scenery, and beautiful temperature outside--sun was shining. Half of the island was gorgeous turquoise shoreline with beautiful beaches, and the other half was up into the lush forest. Such a picturesque day.

From there we were off to krabi, a *port dover, turkey point ish* beach town(for those of you who know those places). We spent a little time on the beach on that first afternoon, but then the rains started, and that was the end of that. Here we ran into our two friends from the nature park- lucy and raechel, we were able to catch up, which was nice.

Kuala lumper, very nice city. Well organized. nice market. Busy city, but really didnt feel crazy. Here we went to an art museum (photography portraying personalities of various artists)- some really cool photographs. After the museum we went to the science centre!

Cameron Highlands, still raining we went to the land of strawberries! there were strawberries EVERYWHERE, and on EVERYTHING! we went to a strawberry farm, butterfly farm, bug museum,tea fields, and flower garden-AWESOME!

Singapore was next on the agenda. Nice city. Plenty of people! We went to raffles hotel for the original 'singapore sling'--something to check off the list lol. Here we also enjoyed karaeoke with the group (always good for a laugh or two!)

It was here that we said goodbye to our last group, and we were off to INDONESIA! 12 days of chillin' before heading home!
