Hello again everyone, I'm still on my own and loving every minute. I met up with Rich on Sunday morning he was staying in a different hostel and still with Ben and Adam. I went off on my own for the day. I went up Penang Hill and got extremely wet on the way down, when it rains it rains and there's a lot of it recently, I had to wear my mac and even then I got soaked. I'd walked down this 7km hill, in the rain, to go to the botanical gardens but it was raining too hard and this Malay guy offered me a lift back to my hostel so I'm afraid that beat the hanging around for the bus option. I met up with the lads later and we went for a v. expensive Indian in a posh restuarant, it was as good as you get at home. I love Malaysia, the people are so so friendly and genuinely helpful. Penang is great I was really sad to leave but I caught a bus to the Camerone Highlands in the morning and that's where I am now. This place is amazing, mostly because of this hostel I'm staying in. The guy that runs knows everyones name (80 of us) and introduces you to everyone, it is so easy to talk to people and I have met loads of people. We went for a jungle treck this morning with everyone it was great, I did a classic Topham though, this lad and I were at the front as we were going up this hill talking about rugby ( I'seen a few matches unfortunately not england or Wales, but it's good because you get Aussie commentry and they still think that Eng and Wales will win their groups even though Wales didn't play that well) Anyway this lad (shane) and I went the wrong way and kept walking for about 15mins in the wrong direction until we noticed that it was v. quiet behind us. We managed to find the group though although it took us about 45mins maybe longer, we got a cheer when we found them at the top of the hill. I'm going to try and extend my stay in Malaysia, it suppose to be easy but because I'm flying to Bali apparently all the flights are booked up and it's quite difficult to get on one without going on the reserve list I might wait till I get to KL (probably tommorrow) to sort it out as it will be easier face to face.- we'll see. I'll meet up with Rich probably in Kl but he really wants to go straight to Bali. Caitlin

Hi everyone, I've arrived in KL. It's a really nice city, there's not loads to do but it's not too expensive and it feels safe. I travelled down with a guy called Mark who I met in Daniels lodge in the Cameroon Highlands, He's a good laugh we get on really well. We arrived in KL about 3:30pm yesterday and because he thought he might be staying one night only we tried to do as much as we could. This involved walk all over the city in Torential rain, The locals were giving us very funny looks especially the ones waiting outside the Posh hotel where we decided we ought to catch a a taxi before we got pneumonia. we're both used to being cold though the past 2 nights I've had to use my 3 season sleeping bag and 2 blankets in the Highlands - don't you feel sorry for me. Mark decided to spend another day in KL today which is good, and tomorrow we're both going to Singapore to meet up with others from Daniels lodge. There are loads of people I know going to Bali so I'm hoping I will meet up with loads of them. Mark is flying out on Saturday night and hopefully Rich will be there by then, so I won't be on my own for long, I'm sorry to leave Malaysia but can't wait for Bali I've heard really good things about it.
