Surf's up, dude!

We made a two night stopover in Kuala Lumpur, where we returned to the China Town Inn in Petaling Street. We shopped (alot), ate at Fatt Yan's and visted the rather marvellous Petronos Twin Towers - the largest twin towers in the world. We crossed the sky bridge (they give free tours) and enjoyed the biggest outdoor play area we have ever seen in our lives in the great big park they have built around it.

Then it was off to Bali - as we were meeting my mum in a few days, we decided to stay close to the airport and (unfortunately) opted for Kute. Hassle, hassle, hassle - ALL THE TIME! They just never leave you alone here. We were impressed by the surf but not being surfers, there's not alot else to do (other than saying no thankyou, I don't want transport, or a watch, or a sarong or anything else for that matter) . I thought I had died and gone to the Spanish Costas. Tacky shops, busy beach and loads of restaurants - so we at least we could give the peanut butter crackers a miss!

Lee and I met these two lovely lads from Tuk Tuk in Samosir, Sumatra and so spent a great evening playing guitar and singing and having a laugh. This lightened our mood considerably, and the prospect of seeing my mum in a day or two. We've now met up with my mum and are off on a Bali adventure. It's an adjustment being back in Indonesia, which reminds us alot of India, but we have high hopes for some intrepid adventures once we get away from package central!
