Countries Visited : 7 (Turkey, India, Nepal, Thailand, China, Singapore, Malaysia)
Flights Taken : 14
Hotel Rooms stayed in since 1st Sept : 29
We had a very long day starting at 4am to catch the flight to to Singapore. We then had to wait round there for 5 hours, we checked out the famous cactus garden and also fell like people possessed into the Burger King (proper Western Food - yum yum!!). It was then onto Kota Kinabulu in Borneo (Malaysia) where we arrived at the hotel at 9pm.
We are making no excuses for this part but we don't intend to do much for the next 3 weeks apart from chill out around the pool and beach. After a month of 6am alarm calls and slightly dodgy food we really need to relax. Thanks to a great deal Helen got we are certainly at the place to do it. We are staying at the five star Shangri La Tanjung Aru resort which is beautiful. On arrival we enquired about upgrading to breakfast and got a reasonable price for the special club here. This means breakfast served to us in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea and more importantly included alcohlic drinks from 5 to 7pm every evening. They are very liberal with the drinks (Chris managed to get 5 whiskey and cokes in the time last night!!). They also serve lovely food with the drinks (its supposed to be a pre dinner snack but it definately sufices as dinner).
So dont expect to see many blog enteries in the next few weeks. We are definately going to go and see the orangutans and maybe some other trips but we have 3 weeks so we are in no rush to do anything.
