Malaysia | That’s a wrap
By S I’m going to get this out of the way quickly – I AM SO GLAD WE WENT TO MALAYSIA. Remember when we first announced our trip and we mentioned we were *thinking* about going to Malaysia but weren’t really sure? Yeah, me too. (If you actually didn’t remember and just pretended to so you […]
Malaysia | Sabah
By S Sabah is an example of reality exceeding expectation. Prior to arriving, I was a little hesitant. Kuching was great. Mulu was even better. We were due for a letdown eventually, right? Plus, due to the fact that we were flying in and out, we were committed to 5 days. Five days? In a […]
Malaysia | Mulu National Park
By D and S Mulu is freaking awesome. Like in Kuching, we felt that there was so much more we could have done given more time (and more money, it really isn’t cheap). But, those are the limits of traveling the world with a set amount of time and a set amount of money. Some […]
Malaysia | Kuching
By S Kuching was the first stop in the Malaysian Borneo portion of our trip. Spoiler alert – the two weeks we spent in Malaysian Borneo are solid contenders for the ‘greatest vacation I’ve ever had’. Sound like hyperbole? Stay tuned. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. We are talking about Kuching […]
Malaysia | Melaka (Malacca)
By S We made a quick stop in Melaka on our way through Peninsular Malaysia. Melaka is one of the three former large British ports – George Town, Melaka, and Singapore. According to the internet (and signs around town) it used to be the most important of the three due to its strategic location (it is […]
Malaysia | Cameron Highlands (and Ipoh)
By S The Cameron Highlands are a mountainous region in Peninsular Malaysia, to the northeast of Kuala Lumpur (KL). There are several small towns in the Cameron Highlands, but most tourists end up in Tanah Rata. When you are buying a bus ticket to ‘Cameron Highlands’ the destination on your ticket is ‘Tanah Rata’. For […]
Malaysia | Kuala Lumpur
By D After George Town, we had originally planned on going to the Cameron Highlands (which would have made sense geographically). However, due to the combination of Chinese New Year (which goes for like two weeks) and the fact that we were going to be there on a weekend and Cameron Highlands is a popular […]
Malaysia | George Town, Penang
By S This was the first audible of the trip. (Danielle edit: I watch football, and I didn’t know exactly what his “audible” reference meant. It means “a change of plans”). Peninsular Malaysia was not on our original itinerary, but when we decided to head to Koh Tarutao we figured it would be easier to […]
