We just got in last night, and it was pouring rain. Apparently it rains every day after 1:00 or 2:00 PM. We're staying in the largest town in the highlands, Tanah Rata. It's very touristy. We may have gotten too used to the cleanliness and amenities of our last hostel - free WiFi, free breakfast, thick walls, and bathrooms so clean that some people would go in barefoot! This place is quite different. Our room is next to the common area, and the walls are paper thin. The room and bathrooms look clean enough, but in comparison to Irsia Bed & Breakfast in KL, are very dirty. I'm currently using a very old computer in the common area at a charge of 3 ringgit ($1) per hour.
Janet is feeling slightly under the weather. She's come down with a mild head cold, so I don't think we'll be trekking to any peaks today. The bus ride down was miserable for her as she gets motion sickness. We had to have the bus stop so that she could vomit just five minutes before we arrived. We were so close!
On the bus ride over here I put together some video clips from KL:

ReplyDeleteI'd rather be in a dirty guesthouse than my cubicle. Looks like a great trip so far and enjoy your time in the highlands.
ReplyDeleteFeel better Janet! Don't let a little sickness stop you from eating...I know it won't.
Xavier has been crawling non-stop and is now pulling himself up onto everything...Yikes!
I liked your video. Thank you for the special ending--it was lovely to see the free kitty.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Janet!
Love,
Mom
