Lazy Days on the Perhentians

After several hectic days in Kuala Lumpur we were ready to head off to the Perhentian Islands.

Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan – Borneo

Joining locals for a drink

From one end of Borneo to the other and we land in the capital of Sabah – Kota Kinabalu. The flight takes nearly 1.5 hrs, showing just how big Borneo is.

A Month in Kuching, Borneo

A typical headhunter scene in Borneo

A mere 1hr, 45 min. flight from Kuala Lumpur and we’re in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak on Borneo (third largest island in the World). Kuching is a rather strange city, very different to anywhere else in Malaysia. It’s elegant, quiet and clean and not a lot goes on but it does have a fascinating past.

Malaysia here we are!

We arrived in Kuala Lumpur after a three hour flight and headed to “hotel Geo“. An OK hotel in a fantastic location, on the edge of China Town.

It’s very humid here in KL and when the sun gets through the cloudy skies, it’s downright sizzling!

We know that we will spend most of our time in Asia and although we don’t intend to settle in one particular country in the foreseeable future, we do need somewhere where we can have mail sent (PO box), a local bank account and a place to go when visas run out.
