Well, we have had a busy and exciting week and barely stopped til now. After a very long trek across the globe to Malaysia via Dubai, we finally reached KL. We met up with our relatives for some eating..more eating..and a bit more eating - anyone that knows Caroline's malaysian family will be able to see exactly what we mean by this! ...grabbing a bite to eat on the way to lunch, and then again after lunch, and then again on the way to dinner......
There was also a bit of being eaten where we had a Top Gear style massage and little fish nibble at your feet - sooo ticklish.
Then we headed to Borneo - Sipidan island for some amazing diving. We stayed in a wooden shack thing on stilts on a small island in the middle of the sea, with gorgeous views of clear blue sea and crabs crawling up the steps.
Sipidan is supposedly one of the best spots around the world for scuba - it definitely lived up to its reputation. Got to dive with lots of sharks and huge turtles, and tons of huge fish (Naomi and Tai you MUST come here!!!). Its was so hot that we could barely bear to walk outside for 20mins. Was a small friendly place and when we left, the dive masters serenaded us as we left the resort.
Tomorrow we are heading off to the Orangutan sanctuary and to the jungle to spot some elephants and monkeys, and hopefully avoid the leeches.
Short post for now as we're tired out from humping our backpacks around in the 35 degree heat trying to get money out of the only cash machine in the whole town- as were the other 40 people in front of us in the queue!
