Stunning start in Singapore - Su the local guide was brilliant. She was very informative and engaging. She had spare travel cards we could use if we weren't able to use bankcards on public transport. Wasn't expecting to love Singapore as much as I did. Enough free time to go on a boat trip and visit the amazing Gardens By the Bay and use Su's travel card. Hotel was good too location and I arrived very early and they were able to get me checked me early.
Malaysia was good too but more full on. Melaka was fun, Kuala Lumpur again I enjoyed much more than I was expecting. Location of the hotel was great. Ipoh interesting. The Homestay was very good - not tempted to swim in the lake and the only time we had rain but very atmospheric. Cameron Highlands and Mossy Forest and Tea Plantation very interesting. The two local guides/drivers were again excellent. Penang and the temple visit were highlights. After the trip I had another couple of nights in Penang and discovered the free bus that runs round Georgetown every 15 minutes - this would have been good to know about as I did a lot of walking in Penang. Hotel a bit far out. Langkawi was a good end to the trip. Very relaxing and again lots of walking as a resort hotel on the beach which was comfortable though on the outskirts of the town. Bizarrely there was a lovely infinity pool BUT even as guests you had to pay to use it!
Lovely fun group of 9 and so many guides, all good. Andrew the tour leader, Sam, our Malaysian guide and Hasli who normally guides in Borneo. Could be my next trip!
