Hello there everyone! We have been really slack on updating our happenings. This must mean were too busy having a great time I guess?!? Anyway, we'll start the update by referencing to our trip to London. We left the beautiful Kuala Lumpur airport early the day after Larissa birthday, and were worried by scenes of ice and snow on many of the major European runways as we sat and watched the news.
The journey took us 13 odd hours, and was most memorable. There were a fair few vacant seats on the double deckered plane, so on the odd occasion I would journey to the back of the plane to find a row of 5 seats to have a sleep on. We saw some incredible sites out of the window over afghanastan etc. There were snow covered ranges, and also some plain dessert landscapes also (see the pictures!). When we were hovering above london, there was an awesome display of beauty as the sun was setting over the clouds. I got a cool photo of it so make sure you check it out! Anyway, we made it to London safe and sound, caught the tube into the beautiful Paddington station. Our UK journey had begun!

Langkawi Island was beautiful. It was only a 1 hour flight from KL domestic airport, which has to be the most budget airport I think I have ever seen. We arrived in Langkawi expecting a really small shack of an airport, but were greeted by a more elaborate one than the one we had just left! Our resort was only 10 minutes away and featured its own private beach (see left photo). Twas nice to kick back a bit and rest our weary legs after so much walking in KL.
Our most memorable day was spent driving the circumference of the island on a scooter. We were initially cautious, but by the end of the day, we got the beast up to 95km/hr. We got to see and swim in some really secluded beaches on the north of the island, and also got to see some of the local villages and the way in which they lived. We were also able to ride a crazy elephant through a forest, and hiked up to see some beautiful rain forests and waterfalls too! The only negative point was the receiving of third degree arm burns from riding around in the sun all day. Their 4pm sun has to be hotter than the Aussy sun at 12:30pm! Painful.

Hey all!
Malaysia was great fun. Our first stop was Kuala Lumpur. We had a great time exploring the city sites. Of note were the Petrona's towers, the 2 tallest twin towers in the world. We also went out a bit from the city and saw some crazy hindu caves etc. Click on this link to see some of our photos - Kuala Lumpur
