down to Malaysia

after bangkok which wasnt really the most enjoyable time we headed down to Kho Phi Phi the island where the beach was filmed we did a tour to the national marine park there the snorkaling was amasing, we all got atacked by little fish that where i asume pretecting the babys. but its quite a shock when you get bumped in the leg and then look down and see a load to little fish swimming at you full speed! after sitting on the beach for a fuw days be desided to head to malaysia this took us quite a while as we had to get to penang for the first night which involved 2 crampted mini vans and 2 boats! penang was not so exciting altough we tryed all the street food and no one got ill!! the next day we made the mistake of staying in bed, we missed the direct bus to the cameron highlands and had to get a local bus and then wait 5 hr in a bus terminal to get the last bus there, arriving at 10pm!! its lovely here, hills covered in forests and lots of farms and tea plantations it remineded me of the black forest, and its much much cooler than the coast but it rain a lot! we went for a walk yesterday and got socked through, the day ended around a camp fire where we spent alot of time moving our shoes around trying to dry them off. today we hicked in the rainforest/cloud forest to see the worlds bigest flower which turned out to actualy be a mushroom! preety cool thought then we whent to the tea plantations where we got showen how tea was made! tomorrow we are of to the main national park (i have forgoten what it is called) to do 3 or 4 days of trekking.
